wicked wakesurf after market sur gate review

[Utisnumber1]

Well I took the plunge and bought an aftermarket surf gate from www.wickedwakesurf.com. This this thing is sick. Easy installation, zero damage to transom and the wave is Frickin awesome on my 2006 vlx. I fill all mls and put the wedge half way down and go. The wave is clean, long, and firm. I love it!! If your looking to get a gate buy the wickedwakesurf. Joe is awesome to deal with as well. I'll see if I can get some pics up. Let me know if you guys have ?'s

Video with and without please or we don't believe you.

[Utisnumber1]

Ok fair enough. I'll get the vids in the am and post them up in the eve. You can tell an immediate difference in the wave with it on. I used to list the boat with a 750 a 400 and my chunkier friends on the port side. No mas!!!

I had made something similar for my 2010, it worked pretty well, but turning was a nightmare, especially for anyone who was already questionable behind the wheel. that wasn't the final outcome, but similar.

What do they charge for these? Both sides included or buy one side at a time??

[FarmerB]

The email link on their website bounces back to you. I hope they fix it soon. Of course this will take away my excuse for needing a new boat.

Did you attach the device to your swim platform? Is there a chance it will cause stress fractures in the hull?

[saidainc]

Pics or video dont seem to be forthcoming.....whelp, back to the drawing board.

[Utisnumber1]

Who wants to post some pics?? I will take some in the am!!!

[Utisnumber1]

Yes it attaches to the swim platform. 0 stress on the hull. There's really not not much pressure on the gate. It's awesome!

What did it cost ?

[TURNITRED]

Man you got me all excited. . . . . keep scrolling . . . . . . . . (thinking. . . .must be pics coming soon. .. . . ) reached the bottom of the thread, disappointed.

I am surfing an a20 this morning with one strapped on I will take some pics but with even weight it makes a longer pocket and the wave is kind of mellow. But the a20 wave listed is kind of mellow as well. We did not run the wedge last weekend may try that but the wave had push way further back compared to the listed wave. Driving is kind of a pain with the gate on there since it is deployed at all times but it is comparable to driving a listed boat.

Changing sides is a 2 man job and took about 3 minutes but he has it ratchet strapped and has not drilled into the boat. I think with 2 holes per side and quick connects you could make this a less than a minute job. I am still considering making a gate for my VLX, but I will more than likely make my own.

$250 for one side with straps. 399 for both.

Am i missing something? It looks like the gate is on the port side of the platform and you are surfing the starboard side . Is there one on each side?

[Utisnumber1]

[Utisnumber1]

That is correct. Gate is on the opposite side that you surf. It's like magic!! Haha. I couldn't believe it either!!

[jb 156]

Didn't get to surf the a20 this am but did surf my boat. Thin we are going to do it tomorrow. Will report back with pics.

That's how surfgate works. It opens on opposite side that you surf on.

[R1200196]

I ordered one for my vtx .. I will post here soon.
