Got some more surf time on the ski today... I love this ski in the surf
Today wasn't great surf , sloppy , choppy, some over head waves...
The XFR with a 4 in extend ride plate rocks in the surf.. I think I'm going to try a 5.5 in ride plate and add 1 in to my pole
The ski really is a lot of fun, re entry's get so much pop it's crazy, I was landing re entry almost parallel to the wave (180 from the direction I entered the re entry) you can really throw the ski around. Slashing the wave and wave riding was fun and the ski had no issues... Adding the extended ride plate made the XFR a very fun surf ski... The ski flips so fast and so easy it's going to be a very fun ski for sure...
I need to try some more nose stabs, I have always thrown big nose stabs and tried a few on the XFR and haven't found the sweet spot yet
The trust built motor feels so good... I like big cc (HP) skis, always have... I really don't feel like I need more power.. The Thrust built Dasa 900 (896cc) just has such smooth power and once your on the pipe hold on. Motor makes more power than my old xs1000 on a b pipe I ran in my carbon FS1... This really is the flatwater / surf ski all in one.....
Will post a video tomorrow, had both gopro's on today
Changes to make this week
Adjust right foothold, left one is perfect... Add 1 in to pole length , make longer ride plate.
