Sanoman you can borrow my bike so don’t need to bring one!

Very nice! I’d bought it if I hadn’t just finished my build, that ski is perfect.

There’s not any mountains but a lot of elevation changes along the Tomoka River so we used it all. A fun 6 miles

Anyone at Daytona want to take a break from surf we made a nice Mtn bike trail at Riverbend Nature Park on Airport Rd right here in Ormond Beach. FYI!

My buddy has a brand new one on Daytona Marketplace. Expensive, but brand new top to bottom!

In my opinion the wings on the back make leaning hull into a turn more difficult, particularly on a wave. I’msure they are an asset on flat water but make hull want to ride flatter. But anyone can cut off as much as they want based on personal preference. I need more tray time to determine if I...

Thanks, cut the first one down 1” but cutting the wings off the back made a huge difference, Carter said he cuts them off every AM hull he keeps. I epoxied the braces on ride plate as it seemed vulnerable with that much cantilever, met a guy here couple years ago that had one and said he...

Tubbies integrated on Tom 21 hull vs chubbies on original FX1. Love the chubbies in surf, added rocker to nose and flat matching bottom of hull greatly improve wave riding forgiveness. I epoxied chubbies on with West Systems adhesive mixture then glassed over with 2 layers of 8 oz. Don’t mind...

I prefer the bigger “chubbies “ given to me by a FX Mafia friend and bottom mounted flush with bottom of hull, the bigger ones brought a new level of forgiveness in the surf, the handling problem came from these huge wings/splash guards that prevented tail from riding deeper into the wave. I...

Ride report; felt like it rode nose down, wanted to pearl coming off a wave, and didn’t want to do reentries. Shortening ride plate helped a little but cutting the big 3” wings off from tubbies to tail made all the difference in the world in the surf. Allows the tail to ride deeper and is much...

Yes same ski, been working on it 2 years. These One-offs don’t just bolt together. This made stripping and rebuilding a regular ski seem like a walk in the park!

First test ride was in crappy chop but felt good, turns extremely quick with pump set back, hits hard and faster than I was expecting. Can’t wait for some clean waves to get an accurate ride report. Put a gusset under ride plate, the way it cantilevered out looked vulnerable. Had to use OEM...

Hull is painted, ready for turf, graphics, and final assembly.

Surprisingly went to local tag office and walked out with a title and registration for $25!

I’m just trying to build a ski and this guy is showing off skills learned at NASA! Seriously though, looks really nice!

I had given Tom a deposit on one years ago when he was developing them, he ended up returning my deposit so I had forgotten all about it.

My friend Franky FX had it for years and decided to let it go. It’s not without its shortcomings. Still had to widen the tray, and it was set up for FX1 driveshaft so had to reset pump mounts and use a pump extension Franky made.

Starting to assemble for a test build before painting. Fingers crossed.

A lot of similarities to the Tom 21 I’m building! Foamed my sides but had to do it after bonding, needed to reinforce bond line from inside since Tom 21 bond rails didn’t match.
