Homemade surf tabs

You should post this on wake garage. Its a great site and you can get a free hat if you add 3 or more projects.

Thanks, I got a lot of good info from Wakegarage. I'm leery of posting too much about it because I don't want to cross the GSA guys. And to be honest, I may end up changing the plates anyway, because these are humongous and put a LOT of stress on the hinges. If I do change the plates, I will probably post over there.

Nice job, looks like it it turned out pretty good.

Yeah, you need to come out for a ride when I get it back together.

Replaced the hinges with far beefier stainless hinges.

Very impressive! Keep us updated!

I went from the mission delta to the Wakeland 2.0 surf system. I found decreasing my bow weight and moving the 400#’s of lead I mid-ship to the front of the rear bags greatly improved the push. We can now ride way back on the wave without any trouble.

Yeah the tab really pushes the bow down. Definitely going to move some weight aft.

Got the boat back in the water today. I moved all the lead I had in the bow to the floor in front of the rear seat on the surf side. I also initially only filled the bow ballast halfway. Nose was way too high, needed more speed and wakeplate full down.

I filled the bow ballast the rest of the way, and really seemed to make a powerful wave. The proof is in the surfing, but I was the only one in the boat, so surf test will have to wait.
