That ski is coming along nicely. Good work!

Everyone I know cranks them to the max and rides them like that.

I know there are those who dig carving a wave and those who are all about the huge flips and rolls. Don't want this to be a topic about which is right or wrong because I believe there is no wrong way but what's YOUR style? Post up and tell us about your perfect surf session.

Honestly, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 aren't really essential. Best bang for your buck its gonna be the steering upgrades and B-pipe. Stock prop is fine. Those two simple mods will transform your ski. Most important thing is ride time.

Cool idea swapmeet

I use a 5/4 wetsuit but only if I must. I don't like wearing it but it extends my riding season. I rock just a rash guard and boardshorts down to about the 50-55 degree range. Gotta keep riding. It's when you stop for a while and the air gets to you that you get really cold.

I have that DVD. I like it. Mostly an instructional video, but it has some nice footage and some of the tips have helped me with my barrel rolls.

Bell Sanction here. Love it.

Some people tie them around their waist. Mine sits in the fire ext. holder on the stock hood.

Wow, did you do all those mods at once? Id like to know the difference that just the hood made. Might look into getting one soon and the Wamiltons hood has caught my eye. Just weighed my stock hood at 19.2lbs.

Cool vid!

Yeah i kept it under a quarter throttle for about 10 minutes or so then under half for the 2 tanks at 25:1. Stopped every half hour to let it cool completely. I believe it's pretty close to what Yamaha recommends in the owners manual. I run 40:1 ratio now. You're right, it is hard to keep...

Yes the Hooker is a big hub

I'd start it in the water. Wouldn't want to warm it up first and then shock it with instant cold water through the cooling system. I did 25:1 for a few tanks and just putted around under half throttle when I broke mine in. That was in about 40-45 degree water.

Are they just spider cracks or something more major? If something major, drill holes at the end of the cracks to keep them from spreading. Mix up some epoxy/cabosil and fill in the cracks, then glass over them to reinforce.

I use the Solas mag in the surf. Huge difference in hook up and control in the white water. Better recovery. It actually helps you slide by giving you the added thrust to kick the tail around. Just a quick blip of the throttle to come out of a slide or redirect the angle of the ski. The...

I ran a 701 in my 1990 SN. Stock midshaft housing held up fine.

Don't replace your dual carbs with a single. Rebuild them if you have to. Get a Factory B-pipe (limited) for a really nice bump in power. Upgrade to a Hooker 9/15 impeller.

Carbon and kevlar are over rated if you ask me. Unless you are very skilled with it, it'll probably end up weighing the same as glass. I'd do a layer or 2 of 12oz biax down the sides and 1708 for under the handlepole bracket area. Add or subtract depending on how hard you ride.
