how far down into the water (below the swim platform) does a gate need to be.

Made mine even with the bottom of the hull at the outer edge. Might not need to be that deep but have to figure that's where the wave starts forming.
My Mom said I'm not allowed to get wet!

started working on one last night, one question; I have the bottom of the gate flush with the bottom of the boat but how high above the platform does it need to go? Just thinking if it is on the opposite side of surfing, then because the boat is listing some to the surf side the there wouldn't be a need for the gate to be too much higher than the swim platform?

XLV Ghetto Gate
I have mine at least a few inches over the height of the water when fully weighted so the water doesn't flow right over the top of the gate.
