    The pic you got here was close to the convex its what we tried to see how well the VX worked.. The vx would work alot better with a concaved bottom

        What you need to do is unveil your entire setup at the Lake Mead TO Reunion!!!!!!! Sounds good to me man!

          Keep up the r&d! Hopefully we can all benefit from it.

            With 4 actuators, a controller, all the metal work, powder coating or painting, etc, etc, etc, this thing has to be at least $3k-$4k.

            I think the piece being motorized is definitely the way to go. A fixed device just seems like a bit of a pain and may be limited to specific (optimum) ballast to get the best results.

            The big question for me would be, does it motor down enough to positively affect the wakeboard wake? Or is this a surf only device?

              Interested to see the finished product. When I was building mine I tested one last year that I could manually tilt the plate up or down (pic below). For me the more I tilted it off horizontal the more it flattened the wave. Looks like you perhaps have the ability to move each side independently????

                looks like there is more R&D in this then the Convex VX.

                    That video was 11.8 slower than normal he don't surf much so that's what we did It at normal speed I ride of 13.0.

                    No price should be 1500-2000 range bit will be a few options. Independent movement yes. .. I've had great success been able to weight both side full and use the plat down on one side to get camber anr other to shape... pretty neat

                      Did you get a patten on it? I know of a company that is doing the exact same thing with the vx. They have the vx with actuators to list the boat in the direction you want to surf.

                          How did you differentiate your device enough from being labeled as a variation of a "trim tab"? Sounds cool!

                            Get it finished by winter, that way I can buy one and install it in the spring on my boat
