here's the pic from FB. Looks like a nice hull.

Seems like they're cranking out quite a few hulls, but I don't see that many out and about. Where do they all go? I realize they're worldwide, but with that facility and that many workers I'm guessing they make 10-15 a month or 120 to 180 per year. And they started production of a few hulls at...

That air with that 701 speaks well for the Titan. (yea Chris can ride, too!)

Ride it across some rocks. That's how I got all the paint off the bottom of mine. ;)

Thanks mthomps, your ramblings are typically somewhere between genius and madness! I didn't realize this post had gone on after I decided against cutting. I will probably end up with a shorter hull and adapt my flatwater tricks to whatever that hull will allow me to do. As far as BF's go; I...

I launched right off the beach at Folly Beach (Charleston, SC) with a group of locals, but that was in '96, '97. It was right near what they call "the washout". It was also in March when there's not many people around. I was in St. Augustine, FL (without a ski unfortunately) and saw riders...

The goal is to add flipping to the 20 or so other tricks I like to do. Freestyle has gotten to the point where you kind of have to flip, but of course most of my money is blown on junk like food, shelter, taxes, 2 kids, and a wife, so here I am throwing ideas around and trying to pick the best...

This why I posted this before doing anything drastic. From pics and vids it's hard to tell exactly what is different from FS1 to XFS. I was assuming it was just length and a little rocker. I based this on how easy it was for me to transition from my FS1 to the XFS I borrowed. As far as more...

This is NOT ebay. LOL. Glad this is now in the right forum. Anyone know XFS length compared to FS1 length? How much do I need to cut?

OOPS! How did this end up here? I guess now I have to sell it! I have a few different weights but I think FS1= 90 lbs; XFS= 83 lbs. Doesn't seem like a huge difference, but more power definitely would help or maybe be necessary. I know he's one of the world's best, but I guess I'm still...

I have a fiberglass Rickter FS1 with a big bore 701 (763), b pipe, etc.. I absolutely love everything about the hull and the entire package is a lot of fun BUT, I would really like to be able to flat water backflip. The only short hull I've really been comfortable on is the XFS (probably because...

Way to go Brian! It's hard to convince others, but when you're 10' in the air, you're not thinking about how cold it is! (but then you land)

How many people can just hop on a 1200 they're not familiar with and ride it to its potential? I'm really asking, because if I hopped on a 40# hull with a 1200 it would just be hang on and try not to kill myself. I would prefer the 900.

My transition from RN Super Jet to a Rickter FS1 was very comfortable. I would recommend the Rickter hull which has what most need, such as footholds, one way drain, hand holds in the hood, handle pole forward for greater control, etc. already done. Pair this with a mildly modified 701 for max...

The other "new" thing is simply the insane amount of height that today's technology makes possible. What is starting to get old is that, except for the superflip, Eric Malone did all these "new school" tricks in 2006. That's 7 years of polishing and honing the same routine. I'm amazed, but at...

Great job capturing the atmosphere and overall "feel" of an awesome event! I have watched it a couple times now. I still can't get over how many outstanding riders and spectators attended this year.

Thanks for the responses. I'll most likely go local to get back to the lake as quickly as possible. A professional coat of paint would be awesome though!

After many years of dedicated service, my Factory B-pipe expansion chamber has developed a crack along the weld. The hairline crack, which leaks, is about 7 inches long. What are my repair options, both quick fix and long term? What kind of welder works best and what should I tell the person...

Only 19 posts; I don't believe him. Sorry, couldn't resist.:poke:

SmittySX has a nice black Gen2 BOB for sale if you decide that's what you want. I've had a little bit of time on it, but I had no desire to cruise anywhere, just get air :veryhappy:. That's probably what most people with BOB s buy them for.
