    Custom/Hybrid concept pole brake

    I fitted a car gas ram on my pole and it equalises the force needed to move the pole up and down and 'Damps' the movement to some degree. This makes the ski alot nicer to ride as you don't have to keep lifting the pole up against the weight of the pole and the stiffness of the pivot! it is only...

    Freestyle project hull

    We have decided to remove the fuel cells and install a tank in the normal place, This has brought the centre of gravity forward a bit which makes the ski ride a bit more level at low speeds. One thing , If you are running a epoxy fibreglass/ epoxy carbon fibre tank do not use Gasohol fuel as it...

    Freestyle project hull

    Good day at the lake...... Very positive feedback from a member of the Japanese freestyle team who is over here building a freestyle ski for the Flamingo team. He said the hull handles very well but needs more steering movement and up tilt on the nozzle. Also the footholds could be 40 or 50mm...

I will find out...
