Oh I'll be there. I don't know about a ski though. Might just be drinking beer on the beach

That's been me this whole season! Collecting parts for my next build and bumming rides from friends. lol
I ran into a issue yesterday trying to install the FRI side rail fin on the left side of the ski. I based all my measurements off the right side when I decided on what length to trim my rails to. I didn't have any issues on the right side but the left is a different story. For some reason the rail on the left side of the ski gets really thick the farther forward I go from the back. At the front of the tray it's 3/4" thick. Since the fins mount from the side the thickness of the rail presented an issue
The fins are pretty simple design. It uses a piece of 1" angle and has plate welded to the back side of it. It turns a 90° rail into a 45° rail that catches a little larger volume of water and has m6 rivet nuts for attachment
.
I called a couple friends trying to get ideas how to fix it. One suggested adding glass to the rail to extend what I just cut off and one suggested mounting from the top which I think I'm going to do. I ordered a pack of stainless rivet nuts and hopefully everything works out

I can vouch for the 1015. Thing is an animal and I don't believe my friend has had any issues with his. In the video, it was technically my first day flatwater flipping and riding anything bigger than a 701. I will agree though, if the V2 is going to be your surf/ rec ski, I'd go with a stock stroke. Check out "davebrochuraski" on IG. He's got a carbon SV-1 with a tpe964 and the dude flies. I've ridden @jeastes1 V2 with an Xscream ss865 in it and that ski was fun as hell.
Good job on the consecutive flips. I've been trying to work on not over rotating on my Dvx. I ordered a couple different reduction nozzles from XScream. The one I currently have on it is an upsweep and XScream welded a tab to add more static trim. One of the ones I ordered is a straight nozzle and I'm hoping that helps a lot

Someone's not messing around! Stoked to see how it works for you in that ski. Everyone has their own riding style. I'm sure it'll be a blast either way. Different "strokes" for different folks lol.
I've never really been satisfied with a small motor. Maybe it's the torque I like. I was pretty impressed with a stage 3 hpe 809 I rode in a xfs but I still want more than that
