New Malibu Surfgate System

Jeff, we did not have that problem. We did not have the nose of the LSV slammed though. As a practical matter, if you're nose heavy, you're nose heavy, and need to be careful. The gate doesn't affect front to back tendencies.

I realize that nose heavy is nose heavy - but typically running 23-26mph you have some bow rise. Just wondered where it "sat" in the water with full wake ballast at 10mph + wedge + surfgate.. You know?

It sounds fantastic. As someone with kids - I see the value that you are trying to relay above.

I actually think you'd have moer bow rise with full rear ballast at surf speeds. I know we run almost 1000lbs in our bow and we have decent bow rise just with the the back surf side locker full. The only bow dunking danger is turning around, but that can be midigated with letting the rollers pass before turning around to get the rider.

I don't surf much due to having to change the ballast over to goofy, or ride switch, so this seems like a seriously great option for me
