The most comprehensive thread is on the Malibu forum. do a search for "DIY Surf Gate" or go here: http://www.themalibucrew.com/forums/...poormans-gate/
Basically the concept is that you're putting in a 'gate' like Malibu does on their new surf gate on the OPPOSITE side that you're surfing on to delay the convergence of the two wakes coming off your boat. this not only elongates the surf pocket but also tends to clean up the surf wake because it delays where the darkside wake flows over the surf wake until later behind the longer pocket... It really doesn't make the surf wake bigger, but it does tend to allow people to weight the boat more evenly and minimize or eliminate the need to list the boat hard.
