    Wake9 Surf Nubbin

    Well, many of you and others have asked about the Surf Nubbin surf tow that we use in our How To videos that pulls surfers up from the side of the tower. This works great, because it pulls new riders to the side out of the mush, and makes it much easier to get them the rope when picking up. Well, the one we used was machined by Samson Sports for us and is just to expensive to make in bulk. The main problem is that they have to be specific for the size tower, so we would have to stock many. Also, the best place for the nubbin, is in the highest part of the corner, and the tube on the tower is curving there. You can mount a bracket there. Then there are the new towers, like the alpha Z towers. Well, we have been working on a single item, that you will only need one and works in the highest corner, and works on the Alpha Z towers. It will sell for a max of $30, probably including shipping, but not sure yet. Anyway, I have 10 on order to test, and if you are interested, I would love to get a few of you to help me test and give feedback.

    Go here:

    And tell me you are interested and I will send one out to you. Don't ask if you are not willing to take some pics and post, looking for good feedback. We have been testing this last week, and they work great. I will have video and pictures soon.

    Don't even respond Majestic, I will be sending you one.

    Ragboy...I signed up on your website. One question though, does it work with the bimini on the Alpha Z?

      yes, it should. I pick up my boat on Friday, and will test it right away. I am 90% confident it will.

          Message sent, Ragboy. I've been using that handhold on the Alpha Z for now but am not too excited about the rubbing going on.

                Oooohhh, I just knew Ragboy getting an RZ2 was gonna pay off for us in spades

                Count me in.

                I like using the handhold and have not yet noticed rubbing. I have an extended bimini but rarely use it. But I will be interested in this new gizmo.

                  I know you said not to respond but I am super excited to try it out on your new boat this weekend. I'm just glad I am a goofy footer like the rest of your family.

                  Hope the drive up to Seattle is going good!

                    Its official, the new nubbin works great on our Ve, and also great on the new RZ2 with Alpha Z. I am still waiting to get several 1.0 versions in and will get them out to you guys.

                          Duncan's right...Ragboy gettin' an RZ2 is some great R&D for us RZ2 owners!

                            UPDATE: The manuf has taken a while on my final design, but I am still moving forward on this. Hopefully this design will be the final after we test.
