After seeing all of the DIY Surf Gate attempts on other boats I figured there have to be folks trying this project on their Moombas.
The weather was crappy here this weekend so I figured I would have a go at it.
No, this is not a finished product by any means. It is a throw away test model that I will try in the next week or so.
I went with a 22.5 degree angle from the hull, and a 15 degree angle from top to bottom. I will let you all know how it works.
With the way I have it mounted (the redneck way) it doesn't touch anywhere on the boat, and is sturdy enough to shake the boat trailer when I push/pull on it.
Anyone else tried this yet?

Interested to see how it works out!
I found it surprising that the side with the gate is the opposite of surf side.

I spent 2 days behind a 23 LSV with surf gate and I'll debate that with ya all day long.

Agreed, I've been told by several people who have ridden a Malibu equipped with surf gate that they like my wave much better. Is the surf gate faster?? Yep but it's no replacement for displacement...
