I should have tried that thing

I can't answer that question. It's personal preference and depends on your riding style and personal needs. Even my own preference and needs have changed as I progress as a rider. PM me if you have more questions

Well the lack of daylight is killing me. When I rockered and chopped my blaster I did all the work in my garage and murdered it for over a year. I've been conscious about doing all my cutting, sanding, and spraying outside this time and only glassing in my garage which really limits my...

Awesome! I made the cut

I ride an AM hull so yes I agree. Just saying not ALL AM hulls are better than a properly modded SJ. I think a lot of people don't realize that

Same here. More riding than talking. I'm sure I'll see you at Hugo or the spot this year

Yeah his is very similar to this. Same nose, similar but bigger Tubbies, and he's about .75" shorter in the rear and has chine relief cuts in the rear, and dulled strakes. But essentially a very similar hull. A properly setup SJ can rival a lot of AM hulls out there still. Not all AM hulls...

Damn, that's 2 years in a row! Haha

Honestly I'm probably going to widen it BUT riding surf stance doesn't require a wide stance. Wide stance is for flatwater kicked into the footholds. I ran a surf strap on my Superfreak because the tray was too wide to ride surf stance using a rear foothold. Aquabot is wider than a SJ but not...

Wide trays are overrated.

Thanks man! It's about time I did something with it haha. I wanted to do a proper build rather than just slap parts in it

Ski looks good man, how much did you spend on all your paint? I'm about to spray mine (already layed some primer) but may mod my tray first.

That thing is cool!

SJ tank fits. Any others are preference

I guess you need FB to see all the Freeride pics?

I do have orange turf that I was planning on turfing the rails with. I think I also have some orange pearl that I may throw in the clear. Probably tape off the hood and repaint the white portion of the hood to match the rest of the ski then pull the tape and clear the whole ski with the orange...

Really torn on paint layout now. Doing white bottom deck. Top deck was going to be white, blue, or orange. The lowered hood I got is visual carbon/Kevlar on the side with red weave. Not sure what to do now. I imagine I should leave the visual carbon/Kevlar to be seen? It's hard to get...

No problem, will do man

Also layed down some primer today. Ski is looking awesome, I can't wait to ride it! Unfortunately I still need to sell it when it's done though but I'll most definitely ride it for a bit. It's unbelievable how much time all the shaping and blending takes if you actually care about how...

Updated pics and progress: glassed on the waterbox inserts and finished all blending, mounted and blended Tubbie 2 s and tapered the front to match the rocker profile better then glassed and blended into hull. Reinforced the insides of the hull with 17oz biax as well
