I hope we can get to 15 for that 40% off.

Also I forgot to post a tweak I did to my poor-gate. I got tired of the clamps and wanted a more solid mount. I drilled two holes thru the lip of the swimdeck w/ a 1/2" bit. (I figured if it didn't work I could just repair it w/ fiberglass. I use quite a bit on all of surfboards). After drilling the holes I then cut an exact length of copper tubing and threaded it thru the holes. I sealed the lip where the tubing meets the deck w/ a marine sealant. I drilled matching holes on the poor gate mount and threaded bolts thru and secured w/ wingnuts. The thing is rock solid and seals up against the hull. Still easy on, easy off but much more secure.

Thanks. Mine is an '09 A22. I ride goofy. I ride at 12.6 mph but my speedo isn't calibrated and I think it might be a 1/2 mph fast. So probably more around 12.

Please post pics when u do. I initially tried making a universal gate for both sides but found it difficult due to the angles required for each side. The dedicated one sided gate made a much better wave.
