    This took an hour and used some leftover materials. I'm gonna fill my 4100lbs of blasts and see what happens...

    Don't have any crew this weekend, so I can only watch..
    Just remember looks can be deceiving. I tested some of my setups and they looked great but totally lacked push (this was w/o the gate, but the same principal applies).

    Tested my ghetto gate both straight with the hull and angled at about 20 degrees.

    Results were better with the straight extended hull version.

    I have always wondered what an angled blade would do. Can't wait to see pics.

    Feel dumb for asking, but are you guys mounting these on the opposite side your surfing?

    The wave was good with the angled gate but it was a bit sloppy and lacked push. We tired adding and dropping off side weight with this setup and it didn't make much of a diff.

    Adjusted to straight and it cleaned right up. Wave had great push from 3' back to the curl. XLV throws a sick wave with the gate on it and nearly zero list. If you have xlv and surf you need the gate.

    On JM's xlv no modification was made to the swim platform. The gate was installed on the factory platform and worked great.
