I don't surf but I have a Harbor Freight store near my house so I built one for about $7 just for the heck of it. I haven't tried it yet but my plan is to see how fast you can go without it falling off. Maybe it can work for wakeboarding as well or some version of it. You can attach a rope to it for when it falls off. The $500 model comes with nice cord with a clip at the end.

Someone has made a version of the suck gate for $275. Might be worth giving it a try.

yes, they are extremely easy to make. spring for the aluminum handle over the plastic one on Amazon. All you need to know is on that PN thread linked above. I have less than $45 in mine and it works great. I don't surf often but it's great to be able to go directly from my wakeboarding setup to surfing without changing up my ballast. The wave is MUCH better and no more driving a listed boat.

I need to get ballast, but its expensive here in South Africa.
Locally one 540lbs bag is about $350 from the states I can get for around $70 -200 but then shipping is another $200 :/ Lose lose, I have reached out to guys that do air tight PVC pontoons for boats to see if they can quote on some custom bags, might be my best option at this point.

Can you post a pic of yours and where you got the materials? 180+ page thread is a ton of reading. I see the different versions in the thread, just curious as to which way you went with yours. |

Yeah, but I like the old boats (love the 2001), and it's just like my older trucks, easy to work on, and more reliable. What wake shaper are you using now? I just had to replace the 454 in my 2001 and waiting on the distributor to get delivered, so I haven't been out yet this season. |

Dave, I'm not surprised you have it for sale. The waves on GL are big enough that you don't need it for surfing!
