    What about that switchblade setup? A little pricey but that seems like it would add a ton downward force to the behind.

    Just talked to the guys who did that Moomba install. Customer boat so they never go to play with it as mentioned before. He said surf tabs will do nothing for size. Said it will help to lengthen out the pocket for a longer sweet spot. And that you actually run the tabs down on the surf side to help shape the wave off the corner of the boat, where most people would think the opposite. (me included) Hmmm.

    I've drooled all over the switchblade site before - that's about as close as I'll get to one of those...

    ask your centurion dealer how many enzo's get ordered as a surf setup with the switchblade and that will answer how it doesn't help the surf wave..

    My buddy has an X2 with the surf tabs and he is not impressed with them. I think he even stopped using them for surfing. Although he is never satisfied with anything.

    Sounds like a typical MC owner.

    maybe everyones surf tabs are just to small, imagine a tab that sticks back about the lenght of the swim platform and is about 3 feet wide, have the effect of a longer hull.

    Have a quick release at the end of the hydrolic ram to let the tab hang straight down for storage.

    The concept seems good but I am not sure what the real world impact would be.
