Kohlieo, ur wave looks awesome man!!! I'm getting about that same shape. What I love about it, other than the shear size, is that it seems to hook back around the rider too. Makes recoveries so much easier with that wall of water acting like a safety net behind u. I love the wedge u made too [WINKING FACE]. I upgraded from the original hand clamps I used to those vise-style clamps ur using. Two is definitely all u need and its rock solid. Keep us posted on any updates or tweaks u make.

Don't know if this works or not but here is a quick vid of my attempt at the poor gate... took about 20min build time and headed straight to the lake... Thank you so much Joey.

this is 900lb sumo bags about 3/4 full in the back with front mostly full and center full... no wedge. I will try more later.

Kohlieo - did you have the 900 in BOTH lockers?

Just took a template drawing of my swim platform. I will take pics as I go along on the build.

One thing I am a little worried is that it doesn't feel real sturdy. I will be testing it tomorrow.

GODUCKS... I have a 900lb sumo in each locker.

as for the wake shape... all I can say is it is long and clean. I think it isn't as steep as I like but will take a little getting used to. But I am off to build the Regular side one now and head to the lake :D
