Can they be obtained with a clamp size for a 1 7/8 tower?

What is the "extension" for?

Thanks in advance,

I can azk about the clamp size. The extension raises the rack up 6 inches so it doesnt interfere with rope.. some say its fine without one though.

LSVBOOMBOX - 30" single clamp 2 3/8 clamp and a 6" extension = $345
CANUCKLE - 30" double clamp 1 5/8 clamps extension x2 = $370
CB BOARDER - 30" double clamp 1 5/8 clamps extension x2 = $370
SHOOTER - 30" double clamp 2 3/8 clamp extension x2 = $370
SYBRMIKE - 30", single clamp, 2-1/4" dia clamp, with 6" extension = $345
TL7 - 30" double clamp / 2-3/8" clamp / 6" extension x 2 = $370.00

Sybermike, after speaking with michael(endless wave) I believe the single point still has 2 clamps but mounts side by side. So you would need 2 extensions.

Everybody,

Micheal is taking inventory of what he has, it seems as though he may have some left over stock. once I hear from him I will let you know. Depending on what he has in inventory it could be a fairly quick delivery.

Awesome! Thanks again.

Yep, went back & dug up a pic of the single mount. Looks like a single double width clamp with two extensions side by side. Guess you & I are in for another $25.

Thanks again & let us know...

Thanks a lot

Just an FYI, went out wakeboarding all day yesterday, total of 6 different riders of varying ability, half regular, and half goofy. Had two boards (5'-3" CWB Ride and 4'-9" React Drive) on the 30" endless wave surf rack (without extensions) and can positively affirm that there is no interference issue between boards and rope. Mine is a two clamp mount and I have it mounted all the way forward (as shown in the pic below). I have the boards upside down on the rack (fins up) with the nose point towards the back of the boat.

Your situation might me different depending on boat model, tower type, amount of ballast, etc. but in my case, there is no interference issue.

Thought some might find this useful.

I'm not thinking I should have any clearance probs either, but since this may be a one time deal I'm hoping for the best and planning for the worst.

Probably a good idea. If I was buying one for the first time under these circumstances, i would probably get the extensions as well just in case.

all buyers, I just sent an PM with instructions to you. if you didnt get it let me know..

I just came across this thread (wish I had seen it last month!). Is it too late to get in on the resurrection?

You may be able to - production already pushed back two weeks so far.

I reached out to lsvboombox via PM and he is checking (has been very helpful).

For anyone who has an Endless Wave Rack, do you know how wide the two cross-sections are where the board rests? I have a 34" wide standup paddle board as one of the boards I'd like to put on top. I'm assuming the rack sections aren't that wide and I will need to add some extra padding in the middle (don't want the board to rest on the ends that curve up).

Oh and to clarify, I wasn't complaining about the delays, just saying that due to them you may be able to get in on it as I'm doubting material has been cut. I deal with machine shops daily and realize the "mishaps" that can occur. Heck I'm just grateful that he stepped up and agreed to do them for us!

if you ordered and sent the check the racks should be shipping today. The checks should be cashed today as well(if they werent already)

Michael asked for pictures from you guys once you mount them shoot me a pm so I can get you his email address..

Thx
Rob

I received an email from Mark this evening with a tracking number. Hopefully, I have it to install for this weekend.

Rob - Thanks again for putting this together.

Greg

Same here. Michael emailed me a tracking number yesterday. Thanks for pulling this together. Hope they work out well for everyone...

Haven't gotten a tracking # or email, but I'll keep my eyes open for it.

UPS delivered my rack last night. First impressions: wow, this thing is hell for stout - the extensions are solid billet aluminum (I expected tubing), the machined satin clamps are really beefy, & the rack supports are heavy 5/16" plate. This thing shouldn't move a bit once assembled & loaded up. I was surprised that there are no bushings on the clamps to protect the tower finish, but hopefully I'll come up with something that won't slip since I've got the single mount.

Unfortunately for me, mine's going on a project boat that isn't quite ready for the tower & racks - so it'll be awhile before I can test it out. Let me know how it works out for ya'll (especially the other single clamp rack that I saw on the buy)...

Thanks again for pulling this together.

Mine came in late this week. Have not had a chance to install it yet, but hopefully will tomorrow. I agree about the build quality on this rack. It seems to be made hellastrong. I'm very impressed with it.
