X30 Ballast makeover, most for surfing.

[ttu]

hopefully this can been seen okay. went up to my storage yesterday and removed the teak platform and outlined it on butcher paper. also while up at the lake went by the marina that carries supra and Moomba. I was able to get a good look at their new surf specified platform.

here is the outline of the platform and where the lines to the inside are going to by the surf platform I am planning on building.

What about a plattform which ends at each side can be 'folded' upwards/out of the way when in surf mode, like winglets...

If you have a teak swim-step you can lay a 2x6 on top of the bracket and then mount three pieces together. It does a great job of keeping your original swim step, but lifts it out of the water for wave shaping.

I guess if you have a fiberglass swimstep I would imagine you could find some material to make that happen,,,

As far leaned over as my boat is while surfing I would think the would have to be raise about 6 or 8 inches to keep it out of the water. That just doesn't sound like a good option for me.

Got any pictures of the updated wake?

No, sorry. It's been rather slow start to the weather here. I've only been out once these year and I didn't have the surf sac back in the boat yet. It was mostly a check ride after de-winterizing.

That's a nice idea. I wonder about a detachable end could be stored in the boat while surfing.
