Surfriding a/m hull or sj

[CGstunts]

so im inbetween getting a rn sj or an aftermarket hull to drop an sj power plant in to learn on. ill be riding mostly in the surf so i dont want to buy a hull that isnt so great for surfriding. im looking at a eme q8 and an rok but im not sure if those are primarly freshwater skis or what....any help is appreciated

:thinking:


a flatwater backflip hull is not what you want for the surf especially if you are learning..

get a superjet

Thanks man that's what I was kinda leaning twords anyway and then when I'm comfortable and know what I want I can find a nice am Hull and drop my power plant in that

yeah definitely superjet if you just want to learn. get it reinforced from the get go, or you will end up with repairs + reinforcement at a not so later date.

Here ya go. Perfect for you. You will not break it. Ask butti or idok how it rides. They ride surf in florida all the time.

I will be selling my 2010 SJ heavily reinforced (glass+carbon) hull soon. That is probably the best and strongest surf oriented hull there is
If you are just getting into standups, I would recommend SJ hull as well. Not too much fun in the flatwater, but in the choppy surf we get here in SE Fl it is very forgiving and learn friendly. You will learn to do everything with it except back flips

The rok rides great in the surf. I'll never ride a sj again...

Personally, though it may not be the best thing to do financially, i'd start with a superjet. Learn how to do barrels rolls and such and beat it up. Once you get your grove and get things dialed in, buy an aftermarket. Once you switch to an aftermarket you will be able to do those same tricks, but better and with less effort.

Thats an opinion, but at the same time it wouldn't kill you if you just bought an aftermarket. It really all depends on how much money your wanting to throw around. While your "learning" which takes quite a while, theres nothing you will be able to do on the aftermarket hull that you won't be able to do on a superjet.

I'd spend a season on superjet, learn the fundamentals of riding then maybe next year if you feel like you want to get more involved and progress more jump into an aftermarket.

Ride as many AM ski's in the meantime to see what you like. Good luck.

Definitely a Superjet. There's really not much you can't do with a SJ in the surf. Get some ride time and get good at it. Learn what characteristics you want in a surf hull or find out what the SJ lacks for your riding style and make an informed decision on an A/M hull. Ride as many hulls as you can. Once you make up your mind, drop all the SJ running gear in the new hull and rip!

300sx, pink vest, purple penis grips

Or a seadoo hx, or 3d, then you can really boost some waves, cause everyone knows seadoos do do

superjets are great, you will destroy it learning stuff but its ok its just a superjet. then buy your hull, it will help advance your riding and make it alot funner overall, especially in average florida surf.

superjets are great, especially in average florida surf.

Yeah you'd defininitly need a 1200cc lightweight hull to flip off of that wave LOL! Seriously though if that was Floridas average I'd be moving there next week! Nice pic!
