    Super Jet What bilge?

    I am doing a ton of work to my ski before I ride this season and I want to move my bilge to under my driveshaft. Right now my bilge sits between the flywheel cover and tank. It pumps out water but there is always gonna be something in there and I don't want that as I'll be benching my used and...

    whitca

    @whitca gave me a deal on a part I really really wanted. He told me exactly what was up with it and answered a ton of questions. The part was packaged amazingly. I'll say the best I've seen for a delicate part. whitca is basically an awesome guy to buy from!

    Questions on getting my prop repitched.

    I have an older skat 10/18 race prop that I'm running now. It's in perfect shape but I am considering getting it repitched this winter for a low-mid pull instead of a mid-high mid pull. Do you think this is worthwhile and what would you say the effective new pitch would be? Would it be a better...

    Surfriding Doubling up wetsuits?

    I'd really like to ride in december before the lake freezes. Our best waves occur when its cold. I have a 3/2 full suit that will get me through most of October feeling cool but comfortable. I was thinking, instead of buying an expensive high quality 4/3 what about buying a bigger 3/2 fullsuit...

    Super Jet Contradicting information.

    One of the first things I learned on this site was that we must use epoxy resin to mechanically bond new glass to our cracks and mods, but the SN/FX1 manual say to use polyester resin and gelcoat for small scratches.

    The black superjet protec pipe.

    I'm going to try to describe my experience as accurately as possible since this thread will be on the first page of google for people interested in this pipe. First and foremost, its known this pipe can rip but its a pain to install...but there is hardly any detail about this pipe online, so I...

    Super Jet Pole length

    I ran a stock pole. I broke it. A member @dta hooked me the hell up with another stock pole. I'm trying to find an explanation for the super short poles I have seen and hear about on here. I know that they help keep the nose down, but I have no problem keeping my nose down. What I mean is on...

    Surfriding Fixing a completely broken square pole

    I want to try to fix my square's pole. So this pole is completely broken at half near where the the angle is at the turn plate. My plan was to recreate the angle by drilling holes and using a thin piece of wood as a strait edge to hold the recreated angle. At that point I will grind it all down...

    Super Jet Humor me.

    I was wondering if all the masters would be kind enough to put together a starter kit for guys like me who are willing to mess up a lot while they sculpted and try new ideas to make their perfect ride. So the scenario...say you have a superjet hull and 300 bucks for materials. You don't have...

    Surfriding Questions about resin dye

    Taking to long to search what I need so I'm just gonna ask. I'm getting my hood mod done as soon as the weather breaks and I want to dye the reinforcement I'm doing on the sides. The inside of the square nose hood is very dark. Should I use dye in multiple layers or just the final? I want an...

    Surfriding Which way do you roll in surf stance?

    It looks like I will be set up this year to start trying inverts. I have been going over and over the motion in my head. I ride with my right foot forward so I think it makes more sense to roll to the right but I guess I will not know till I try. Since it's 3 degrees and all outdoor liquids are...

    Just when I think I've seen everything on youtube this pops up out of nowhere. Pretty cool to see a bunch of pro's race on the original superjets.

    Is there an AM pole option for SN's that feels identical to the stock pole just -2?

    Super Jet Is this a bad coil?

    I have been having this problem intermittently the past 2 weeks. Here is a video of what it sounds like The first time it happened I went to pull the plug wire and the terminal ripped out of the boot. I figured that was the problem. I ghetto spliced in a new boot end, taped it up, and I got...

    I carve and slash at a high speed wake then mis-time and plow into a jump!

    Another quick clip of me goin' for it! If I get a friendly boat again this year I'll get them to slow down and trim up! I need to get to the ocean! I try to come in really hot against the wake and do what it let's me. At the end of a slash at 30 seconds a rogue wake comes in and forces me...
