she runs, Need to get the carbs set up correctly and install a heavier pole spring. I’m running a temporary 10L fuel tank, that’s doesn’t give you much run time. Also the stock bars don’t feel so good, so will be looking at so wider riser bars.

Matting done.

So I was planing on running a home made aluminium pole but while trying not fit a square nose pole spring I broke one of the welds on the pole. Glad it happed now and not in the surf. Going to run a stock pole until I hade time to Finnish the aluminium pole. Also the aluminium pole bracket that...

Much appreciated

My brother drew up a pole bracket and clamps for me and printed, was able to test the pole bracket heights with. Even tho we lowered it 20mm than the stock pole bracket, it looked ridiculous. Dane took a bit long with the reprint of the lower pole bracket, so I ended up making a press/mould and...

Got some paint on the hull, few little imperfections to sort out today before spraying again. Put together a little list of todo’s and parts needed

Haha my wife has forgotten what I look like! We have a free ride event coming up in june and the goal is to have a rideable ski for the event, pressure is on! Keen to see your wife’s ski build

Been coating with resin as often as possible, the silver flake in the resin is looking sick in the light. The pictures don’t do it justice. There’s a video on Instagram @freeride_africa

Planes have changed slightly. Decided to flatten the primer and lay up some carbon.

Managed to get some primer down. Showed all the small imperfections. We get filling and flattening this week.

Glassed in a small deflector on the nose and been filling in and flattening some high spots. So over sanding with coarse paper, my fingerprints are none existent at the moment! But almost ready for primer.

Got the exhaust in, tray foam filled. Busy drawing up the pole brackets.

I have block sanded it to create more of a gap. There’s about 8mm gap, after glassing it in

I had glassed onto the existing profile on the top deck and did my best to fill with micro balloons. But I was still far off the profile and want as little filler as possible, so I made the call to cut it it all off. Started again with a block of foam and shaped it so that there was minimal gap...

No I don’t. I see he’s in Cape Town?

A piece of polyester, sand to the shape you need, wrap paper around it and get sanding!

To date I have glassed up the outside of the rockered nose, glassed the back it the ski, resined in foam on the tray to shape the sides of the tray, cotton flocked all the cooling lines and drive line piping in place. Reinforced the inside of the hull. I have also shaped my own sponsons about...

I’ve ridden a blaster 1 for almost 8years, and build it up along the way to what I imagined as my dream ski. My brother and a couple mates have all moved onto Superjets, leaving me feeling a little out. This last December holiday I spent a day on the couch watching YouTube - free ride videos...
