    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.

    I ordered the platform from supra. The platform is $582.45. But by the time you add the stainless steel rub rail the See deck surface and shipping it's $1,040.99
    But here is the dimensions for those guys that want to try make their own.

    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!

    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

    Brian,
    I noticed your surf-swim platform is obviously 30" wide. How much does the front side curve? (the side that butts next to the boat?) You think an inch? More or less? I am laser cutting mine out of HDPE to your specifications. Thank you!
