yes and yes.

I've gotten bored (ah a pun) with surfing and trying to spruce it up a bit.

Lately the wife and I have been using 6 and 7 foot ocean surf boards and think it would be nice to have the wave a little longer.

I'm also very curious as to how far out to the side of the boat we can get

AND with the boat weighted evenly, and 2 gates in place, I'd like to start having 2 people surf at the same time.
