The Retriever did deploy automatically, however it does not deploy the way I would like it too. That is mainly because it was not designed to. The video will show you why the Retriever is the cheapest insurance you can buy, and how it would have saved me close to $2,000 if I had one when my ski...
The editor is still working on the video, it is out of my hands at this point. I gave him all the footage and info he needed, now I am just waiting. I will keep everyone posted. Patience my friends.
Testing went well; I got a lot of good footage. I will be getting a video put together this weekend and I will share it with you all as soon as I receive it. As you can imagine having a jet ski in a university pool got a lot of attention.

More pictures from the Daytona Free Ride.
Overall the ski went together flawlessly with no problems. The hull took a beating in the Daytona surf and held up well. At flat water friday we all rode it, and one rider was trying flat water backflips and was coming very close. The ski is perfect...
Turf finished with 1/4" padding and triple padding in the rear.
Engine, exhaust, tank installed. Everything bolted right in with no problems. Waterbox is an H20 Designs, made for Brawler hulls.
