Designing surf tabs out of auto trim tabs

I thought it went further down.

you are correct

watch the video at :38 and 1:33

Interesting new product from Wake Worx. Their tabs are well beyond 12 degrees as well. Still interested in Jason's input on angles.

Looked on there website, but couldn't find any info on these tabs yet.

The only info I have seen is on FB.

Damn you're right. that looks damn near 90 degrees.

That is what I remember hearing about the swell. That certainly makes sense with all the Swell's robust bracing.

Is that the control switch centered on the transom on the Wake Worx setup???

That's a fake transom, and the switch is obviously there just for display. Kind of like how the Moomba with autoflow at the pdx boat show had a switch hanging off the back of the transom.

Obviously that switch would be mounted near the driver.

This is exactly what I was referring to back when I mentioned how disappointed I was that the Auto Flow doesn't go down as fare as the Swell. I was really hopping for a Swell system basically. I still don't get how the Auto Flow, and all these new systems out are really changing the wave. I don't see any of them as changing the convergence of water coming from under the boat.

I see them as a plate that is pressing into the water exiting the hull and helping to Delay the time at which it forms the wave. This to me is not really changing the wave. It also seem the tab systems are only going to roll the boat over more as they are deployed.

This whole thing is whats keeping me from pulling the trigger on an upgrade. I really need to see, surf these systems to see if they are worth the money the suppliers are asking for them.

Makes sense Mike. I guess we'll let Wolf and Boonejeepin blaze the trail and find out what works and what doesn't...

I blazed the trail on my Supra when I did an NSS style system. I'm holding off for a little bit on the XLV...

I was hoping that they would just add actuators to the current Flow which would look similar to the pic below.



I don't think it would be that hard to do.
