I'm running hard tank and IBS full, 1100 port full, and 650 starboard full... I have tried anywhere from 10mph to 10.7 mph, and it's just very washy.
    I do run faster with the gate. I like 11-11.5 w the gate. Try draining a little more from the opposite vdrive locker than surf side.

    Ghetto gate for goofy side was a success. I surfed backside on the goofy wave, changed gates and surfed regular. Not sure what the knee kneel thing is. I saw it online and thought I would try.

    I have been doing the knee kneel for a couple of seasons. the people in the boat love it when I go onto my knee then look at the peeps in the boat and give them the rocker horns...


    So, I've noticed that your gate is basically flush with the level of your swim platform. When I'm sacked out, my stern is easily 6" under water at rest and a little more underway. My gate went vertical well above my platform and I'd intended to chop off some from the top, but would I really want to do that and have a good 6" of water flowing over the top of my gate un-diverted?

    I think the best results happen when the gate is above the water line. I have to drain some off side locker weight to keep the gate from going under water.
