at 135lbs... you probably really don't need them. Christ you could probably float in the tray... he he he j/k
Are tubbies better for flatwater or surf?

These things weigh almost nothing ,maybe 3 lbs total .Shouldn't be much of an issue for riders doing rolls .
I like tubbies :biggthumpup:

Except when they are waterlogged and when people install them with 4lbs of fairing compound.

After reading this im starting to worry that I put them a bit to low... but oh well... =[
I epoxied them to the hull first, while leaving them hollow and then covered them in 7oz kevlar. No gettin them off without gettin messy.

i didnt feel like arguing with these guys but the lower the better IMO...i hate the tubbie 2s (and yes i have skis with both 1s and 2s on it. The 2s will soon be filled to be like 1s)

I've been thinking of filling my 2's. why do you like the 1's better?

the twos seem to break free entering your turn like the 1s but then hook up as you are finishing off your turn and throw off your balance..it feels kinda like its pushing the tail out too fast cause the nose is hooked up but the back isnt (im talking on a wave face here)
when going down the line on a hollow wave the 1s let the front of the ski wonder a bit up and down allowing you to be neutral on the ski and the 2s stay stuck to the wave face more and you get some weird steering feedback and stuff..it makes the ski feel like its gonna get sucked over the falls with the lip
thats what ive noticed and id say i have at least 20rides on the 2s but 1s have been on all my personal skis

ive been wondering what i should use..i really dont want to glob a few lbs of filler on there...(granted the ski i have with 2s on it is roached out bigtime so i guess it dosnt really matter)

I was thinking of epoxy with micro balloons. it's pretty light and easy to sand.

How about selling them and buying 1's or Surfjetlouies?
Just a thought.

not easily....they are "glassed" on..although they were done rather crappily along with all the rest of the work on that hull

that sounds like a lot more work than filling in the lip.
