No Tige Surf 'System'

[cpropes2005]

I think by know it is pretty much proven that the concept of delayed convergence works and all of the different manufactures just have a slightly different mechanism for achieving. It can be argued all day if those systems produce a better “pro level” wake than a listed boat but there is no arguing that at an absolute minimum they produce a decent fun wake with no list and the ability to switch from side to side quickly. I think for 90% of the market the convenience of the latter two points will out way the possibly 10 to 20% better wake they could get if they listed their boat. On top of that, other than cost (and potential IP concerns) there is no reason not to want one because if you think you get a better pro wake listed you can always still do that when you want to and only use the more convenient gate system for newbies, kids, etc.

I have experimented with several different manual systems on my 22V and I wont go back to having a listed boat. I don’t really care about switching sides quickly but I usually ride with friends and family who have a casual interest in surfing at best and they are much more comfortable with a level boat. That is especially true for my wife driving and the more comfortable she is the more I get to ride and we all have more fun on the water.

Amen! Now let's find an aftermarket fix for our boats that doesn't cost $2k.

I've not had and experience with them, but here's someone you guys might talk to http://wickedwakesurf.com/
For me, having a Surf Gate boat it's not been about the transfers as much as going between the regular and goofy riders. We take a surfer on every outing knowing when wakeboards sets are done we can go right into surfing or vice versa.

Hmmm, those pics are so good they almost look like templates

If I had faith in the swim platform mounts, this would be an easy project. But I don't (have faith in the platform).

EDIT: Our 2009 RZ2 has D rings under the platform. Cut a single flat piece of 1-2" thick plastic (HDPE, PVC, Nylon?) with a slit the shape of the D Ring (see red below). Slip the piece over the D ring and use a clip (see yellow below) through the D Ring. Pad the back edge or make it long enough to sit on the flange of the platform bracket--makes a nice lever for increased strength. Same piece would work for either side. This is more an NSS-like mod.

Cheap and easy to make/install.

So, is this our very own Wicked?

I am guessing not as they currently only have product for Axis & Malibu. Again, just a guess however it would have been a great name for him to use on the product he is working on.

The website does not have pictures of the actual system or cost.... there is a huge market for this if it works well

There are some pictures on the "Tutorials" page.

I have one of the wicked waves being delivered on Friday. I will helping with R&D for my hull model(04-07 23LSV). Most users are experiencing longer pockets with same or less weight, and of course no list.

Are you bringing your Bu to the Lake Mead TO Reunion Jason???

I am trying not to jinx myself this year. Every year I plan to go, something beyond my control at work happens and I have to cancel last minute.

I can bring my boat if needed. I was planning on bringing the toy hauler so have a place to sleep in and just be a boat bum, but I can do whatever.

Tige is dropping a new product tomorrow...

Guess I was late to the game...

It's not clear what this is, but it looks like it's just a remote that controls the TAPS. Is that it?
