After seeing much discussion and reviews of the different surfing systems and homemade surfgates, I decided that my 2003 Supra needed something new. I have not surfed or even seen any of the new boat systems out there but with so much discussionon wakeworld, I was inspired. I built a custom swim platform with adjustable and detachable surfgates for each side. They attach in under a minute and total cost is under 200 so far. take a look at the pics and please review. I will upload pics of the project after I ahve the platform completed
The first pic is the wake with 750 in each rear locker and 1100 in the mid locker at 10.5 mph
the second is no weight
The thirdpic is the wake with 1100 in the mid ballast, and 750 in each rear ballast
The fourth is the wake with 1100 in the mid ballast and 750 on the goofy side only--other empty
all pics in 20+ feet of water at 10.5 mph
after surfing it fully loaded, I can see my platform does not interfere with the wake at all, the wave is considerabley longer but not as tall(I am still hoping for warm weather up here to further play with speeds and weight)
Look for another post of the side by side pics of my wave vs a new X30
