How did you make yours? We have a 2008 r series rinker and want to surf behind it since the motor is way under the deck

[@dwads77]

I found a template plan online. I made it out of 1/2" white pvc sheets for boats. It is suction cupped to the side when we surf. Works awesome. People have said the wave is as good as some of the surf boats out there. Definitely good enough for me.

@@dwads77 how do you think a 2012 Rinker MTX 220 do as far as wakesurfing?

[@dwads77]

@@billyhsat good question. There are a lot of things that go into it. My biggest concern is always the safety of the rider. My boat has a 4-foot extended swim platform that puts the outdrive way underneath the boat.even then I'm still worried about it but the riders are usually 7 to 10 behind the swim deck.

[@billyhsat]

Dan Wadsworth an even greater response! Didn’t think about the outdrive ramifications
