Looks great! No issues with putting it on and off in the water? Looks like I'm going to hafta make one of these too. Where'd you get the cutting board that size?

You are mounting it like in the previous pictures? I mounted mine backwards from yours, couldn't keep it on the side... might have tried reversing it...

This seems a lot better than the bulky plywood that will only work on one side. Were you about to make that from one cutting board?
Whered you get it?
also if that made the port side good I bet the starboard side wake is awesome. While you're posting pics can you show a little more about where you drilled the holes in the suction handle? Thanks!

cutting board was 15" x 20" 9 bucks from SAMs club

mounting just like this, with older 210 hull the angled area with a 90 degree gate works perfect, with the newer boats I would want to open up that angle a bit, I have not measured mine to see what angle it makes it compared to the side of the hull

after this weekend I can say that I am not changing my surf gate at all from the current design, the wave is great, extra ballast stay nice and clean, just bigger, rode it yesterday with stock ballast filled and 8 people in the boat, rose today with just three in the boat and, if anyone is thinking about making one of these I would not hesitate for one second, it really works very well, did not come off one time all weekend, if anyone wants the dimensions I used for the older style 210 hull I will measure everything and post them up, just have to say thanks to the forums and great people that make them such an awesome place for learning and creating things like this!

I'm interested in the dimensions for the og 210 hull

Definitely interested in dimensions. Please pm them after you've recorded them.

When are you putting the system on? Outside of water or while on the lake? I'm thinking that trying to put the system on I the water will not work because of water under the suction cups

well I'm in to try it. The wave looks impressive for such a relatively inexpensive mod.

1 cosmos handle and an 18" x 24" HDPE cutting board is now on its way to SC....

I would be interested in the dimensions for the OG 210 also!! Looks awesome!

[s_kelley2000]

Wow impressive results! I am definitely interested in the dimensions for the old 210 hull.

We have a 02 Super Air and I would be interested in the dimensions.

Thanks again

here goes my best for a detailed write up on the suck gate I made.

materials one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/COSMOS-Aluminu...on+grip+handle

1/2" thick hdpe cutting board, I use a 15" x 20"

2 3" stainless bolt 5/16" I believe was the size, two SS nylon lock nuts, 16 SS washers, 6 1" SS sheet metal screws with tapered heads, small piece of 550 cord, left over extension for tow rope

first start by drilling hole through one of the plastic suction handles for release cord, then drill small holes through the metal to allow water pressure relief when applying suction, then measure and cut out boards, I used a skill saw and jig saw,
once I had the boards cut I drilled holes through the board and handles for the attachment bolts, see pics for location, then attached boards to the handle with 3 SS washers for spacing between the boards and handle, next I place a bolt I had laying around to make sure the gap stayed even from top to bottom, marked my plate , drill pilot holes for the screws and attached the plate, I used some coarse sand paper to smooth out the sharp edges, attached my safety tether and it was ready to go, see pics for the measurements, good luck to everyone trying this out and happy surfing!

I put it on in the water each time we got ready to surf, I can put on and take off from the swim platform, the suction handle has small relief holes drilled to allow water to escape from the back side of the suction cups to relieve pressure, we had no suction failures over three days
