    Definition of Freeride?

    I think most can agree that there is a difference between freeride and freestyle, the first being done in surf primarily and the latter being done on flat water (of which both terms have been used interchangeably in my experience when people are talking about jetski stuff, but is that what we...

    Definition of Freeride?

    I don't think that having a competition aspect makes the riding no longer "free"riding. Removing the competition aspect may turn it into recreational riding, but freeriding is a "type" of riding under particular (surf) conditions. There is freeride mountain biking, which is judged. I think its...

    Definition of Freeride?

    I think some of this is already incorporated into the IFWA rules with the 50/50 split on surf and aerial maneuvers. Effectively you are required to be an "all around" rider to have a good score. The surf riding events at some of the local freerides have gone over well as it is definitely a...

    Definition of Freeride?

    That being said, I think freeride occurs in the surf only, where one is free to do as they please, cruise, slash, aerials, whatever. It is recreational or competitive depending on the setting, but I do no believe it occurs on a lake that is not able to generate its own surf or a river. The waves...

    Definition of Freeride?

    For the purpose of our sport, I think freeride is more surf oriented. Freestyle is more flatwater oriented. Also, I would argue that we have an IFWA, which is a surf only event that ranks our top freeriders in the world. This should be the standard for how we determine the definition of...

    blaster rear waterbox advice

    Talk to carter about fitment with the rear chop. There should be enough room, you can glass in inserts to run rubber straps while you have the back open. In stock skis I have drilled through from the ride plate area and run a bolt through that held an SJ style tank strap mount to use the SJ...

    Surfriding Wave Carver or Air Tricker

    I vote you open the poll up again but give the choice of either carving or air tricker. I am curious to find out what exactly makes a ski a good air tricker. Anyone have any thoughts?

    Tree fell on skis and trailer-insurance cover?

    We missed you Jeff! Looks like moving the trailer was your mistake, had you left it in the space where the other trees fell, I be it would have been fine! It sounds like you need to move house or do some controlled felling to rid yourself of the trees that wont survive the next wind storm!

    Viper Blaster

    Definitely not the case! There has been a steady influx of queries about the hull. We will have a demo boat at Daytona for people to test out which will be the first opportunity people will get to ride the hull. As it stands right now we have people with hulls in hand, but they are in the build...
