Homemade surf tabs

[Shoebox]

Seriously awesome work here!!!

Thx for digging into this. I’ve been thinking goose slappers but my hull shape has a lot of curves but is flat at the bottom of the transom where you mounted the tabs.

I think the LSV has more curvature than the Mondo, but not sure. The piano hinges can take a small amount of curve without any binding. Even if so, you could make an adapter to account for it. Or you could call Wakeland and see if they will sell you their hinge adapter.

As far as surf gates, I wouldn't do it. There is a LOT of pressure from the water, and where you'd have to mount the hinges would allow a lot of twisting force on them.

This is the total curve where my hinge is mounted.


These are on Great Lakes Skipper, but you can see the adapter piece that Wakeland makes.
