I think the Surfgate is a great idea. Any innovation by a manufacturer that pushed surfing foward is great. With that said, I dont see Bu dominating the surf market because of Surfgate. If you are a core surfer, the wave produced in the Surfgate video is not that great. You are still going to have to add significantly more weight to the surf side to get a comp level wave (and Bu is known for needing significantly more weight than either Centurion or Tige). In addition, most people I know hardly switch sides at all because most riders are regular. Even if they do, I can switch sides in an Enzo 244 in 7 minutes.
I do think if you combined the surfgate with 4,000lbs 60 second quick fill system you would really cause Tige/Centurion owners to rethink what boat they buy.
