Aftermarket Surf Gate

[chpthril]

Hi all,
Would suggest the Nauticurl Wake Shaper Surf Gate. Easy on the pocket book and makes an incredible difference. The Obrien Nalu is a solid board for starters up to advanced surfers.
Surf on a Tige, it's better!

Welcome to the Tige forum. Tell us more about your product, or your friends product, and how it differs from the other suction cup devices.

NautiCurl Wake Shaper Surf Gate

Hi, thanks for asking and happy holidays! Days are getting longer now, can't wait for Spring!
We're a couple of semi-retired competitive wakeboarders turned wakesurfers (getting old and easier on the back) and wanted to create a wake shaper product that was engineered, had stylish design and was affordable, thus Nauticurl. To answer your question:
- We used FEA analysis to design the shape and curvature to minimize outward pressure on the suction cups while displacing the most water (I'm a geek Engineer by trade). This allows for maximized suction.
- It's built from aluminum alloy with bull-nosed/rounded edges and an extra thick powder coat finish to protect riders and the boat.
- We incorporated the cups and levers into the design rather than buying a glass puller and bolting it to a product. Creates a streamline look, doesn't impact water flow and we used stainless bolts and nylock nuts.
- We wanted a stylish sleek design that fits with the style of wake sports and boats. Wanted something users would be proud to carry down their dock and attach to their boat. Nice boat, nice board, nice rope, nice wake shaper. No Frankenstein-gate.
- Lastly, it's affordable and we want to make the customer happy. $219, free Koozie, flat shipping, lanyard included and we're working to develop a brand not just a product.

Sorry for the long post, we're passionate about the sport and want to spread it. Please check it out and would love feedback.
Cheers!

Looks great. Love that the levers are so easy to get to. How does the plate attach to the cups?

[WakeSurf22]

Hi,
Thank you Unstuck, yes the ease of access was important. There are aluminum rings on the underside. The cups are spring loaded and pin through the plate and cup. I've attached a photo and more can be found on our website. www.nauticurl.com
Cheers!

Has anyone used one of these types of products along with the Tigw vx or AVX??

I think maybe this would work well with the AVX allowing for less listing and faster change over???

Has anyone ever tried to build one of these using a single suction cup? i have one that is about 6" in diameter that seems like it would work.

[UNSTUCK]

If you have a large enough flat spot on the hull it might work. Two smaller ones seem to hold well to slight curves in my hull. I'll stick with two.

I decided to give this DIY suc gate thing a try. Here are a few pics of the gate and the wave it was making with zero ballast and only 3 people. 2002 v21 rider. Heading back this weekend with more people and my sacs. [ATTACH]43494[/ATTACH][ATTACH]43495[/ATTACH][ATTACH]43496[/ATTACH]

Hey Taylormoto! Was wondering where you picked up the stainless tubing and hardware to attach to the starboard. Thanks in advance.

[Tomp]

Has anyone validated that this or other devices will stick on the side of a Z3?
the hull has multiple chines or steps on the rear area where they would attach

[chopper515]

Here are my results on my 2001 2100V. 600 in each rear corner and around 600 in the bow. Looks pretty good! Can't wait to surf it once it gets warmer!

With one suction cup You'd be putting a ton of pressure on whatever you use to attach it, lots of rotational pressure there.

Chopper515, wave looks great, lets see some pics of you on it!

[mdk681]

Chopper515 where did you position the gate on the side of your boat? That wave looks amazing. Could you provide the speed you were at and TAPS setting? My wave was nice but not quite that clean - let me know!
