How did you come across a new style platform? Can't be cheap if bought new. Yes I agree the big platform with handles has its benefits but you can watch foam up/disturb the wave. My next mod definitely.

Great info, Brian. Thanks for sharing. Nice install methodology - I see you were going for an advanced comfort/high difficulty rating!
It's pretty interesting to see all of the variables that factor into creating a really great wave. And really cool to see all of the problem-solvers trying different methods to optimize!
thanks for the info Brian!

I've been kicking around the idea of skinning the bottom of my stock platform to diminish some of the turbulence. Even with mine running flat while surfing the platform is in the water and I don't thing the newer designs would keep it out and I would have to redesign the gates again. Removing the rub rail would help but we use it to much. Maybe removing the sides of it and just leaving the rear area.

I ordered my new surf platform yesterday to replace the stock platform. I hope it's here in time for Christmas

It took awhile to get here, but my new surf platform arrived a couple of weeks ago. It doesn't appears to have predrilled holes. I am a newbie and my boat isn't near me at the moment. Any thoughts as to why it comes this way?
Any suggestions on how to proceed. I figured I'd ask before I make some dumb mistake

I'm also interested in something similar, good photos! I will keep in mind in the future!
