My comp ski will be the only ski we are bringing from the 'BOB Factory', and will be strictly flat water. I only know of a few Gen2's for surf, but those test rides are out of our control.
Well, when your sponsor pays the bills, you ride what they give you. I loved how my EME ripped, but it looks like we're trying a different 1200 this year. I remember who you are, I'd like to try the Circus as well, seemed like all of them were non-op at Havasu.
Not like it's very difficult for me to replace the hull if something were to happen ;)
However this ski is getting a pretty 'x'-treme set up from our friends in Tampa, so test rides MAY be limited, going to have to play it by ear, but I'm sure everything will be just fine.
So we finally made it happen this year - We'll be at Daytona for the 2013 Freeride with my 2013 competition ski for Flat Water Friday, and I know of a few Gen2's that will be there for the surf riding.
We wanted to bring out a 3Ride that so many of you have been asking about, but we just...
No pictures of the hull... because its on its way to Florida for you guys to try out at the Daytona freeride! My 2013 ski should be off the hook, can't wait to try it out!
Here are some pictures of my Snap-On box when I was wrenching on skis. Basically everything I've ever really needed for servicing a 4-Tec SeaDoo to building a BOB ground up.
Only thing else I've been meaning to get is a Cresent Wrench set and a Flywheel Puller kit. But other than that...
Top deck came out pretty good, made it too light though. Added some reinforcements today, and we'll be bonding the 2 halves together first thing tomorrow morning, and the first Vacuum Infusion BOB will be ready for turf & assembly.
Pulled out my first attempt at a vacuum infusion carbon bottom deck today and we couldn't be happier.
13lbs bottom deck, full carbon fiber with key reinforcements, so she's ready for a beating.
Bagging my top deck today, should have that popped tomorrow as well.
With the current weights, it's...
As promised a few weeks back, my main priority as part of taking over the program at The BOB Hull is to expand from hand-laid to vacuum infusion. So over the past couple weeks, I have been playing with a few smaller parts, but this past week, I went ahead and infused my first Carbon Fiber hood...
We've had a few test rides in the surf, still trying to get it to how we like before it's in production.
Early spring 2013 is the current projected release date.
We do appreciate all the feedback and suggestions - The Gen2/3 can be ridden in surf, but we want to offer something thats easier to ride in all conditions, something more recreational as opposed to freestyle. We know what needs to be done to it, just got to make it happen and drag it down south...
