Ride 100% surf. Only use flatwater for testing since I live 2 min from the river.

I agree. How tight you run the pole or it's length are personal preference mods. If it doesn't work for one person, it might work for someone else. It is very acceptable to set your ski up for you.

anything that affects reliability and safety. big power/motor isn't necessary either.

did you check to see if the water around the ski was level? :)

They hurt if you land wrong haha. Haven't completed a full rotation yet so basically I just keep hurting myself. I just do most everything I do for a roll without throwing my head. Gets the ski rotating for a flat spin but I've only made it about 3/4ish on my best attempt. So far I found a...

95% surf and 5% flat here. Only do flatwater for testing before driving to the beach.

I used a dremel to cut down the shoulders around the tuning screws on my carbs when I installed the t-handle adjusters. Had to cut about 1/8th inch off so the t-handle wouldn't bottom out before the actual screw did.

I know they replenish the beaches with the sand, but why not dredge out the inlet and move the sand to the beach? Seems like they just got the sand from somewhere and made a mess of the place.

My raider had a twist trim. Yank the little finger adjuster on the grip and mod the nozzle a little and it gives you a ton more throw. I hate thumb throttles. It's a personal preference thing.

Couple friends went out yesterday and said it was nothing but sandbars everywhere. Sounds like this is going to cause havoc with boats going in and out of the inlet. Heck, saw plenty of boats getting stuck last year. Kind of a busy spot during the summer too. So what exactly was the point of...

I wouldn't worry about it. Just clean it real good after the ride. The main idea is to not let the salt sit for a long time.

Sick! The power to make any ski feel "lightweight"

B.O.B. Adjustable footholds would be a great way to accomplish what you're looking to do. http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/93857-Adjustable-BOB-Foot-Holds

I agree. He's just a great rider.

mmmmmm lightweight. Would love to replace the box of lead that i run now with one of those! Anybody run these? Review?

If it is slightly off, just disconnect the cable from the nozzle or turnplate, spin the collar a turn or two one way or the other and reconnect. Move that ball on the turnplate to the outermost hole for quicker steering too.

Jetmaniac here. Love it!

Yep, you're right. Yamaha covering themselves in case a new 2011 is sold in 2012 as a "leftover" in dealerships.

Just reconnect the hose that goes from the head to the stock pipe. It might have had an aftermarket exhaust before.

Yep, all the same hull/hardware from 08-12. Can only use the '12s for "competition use only" though.
