Yes, I could see that on Tem's hulls.

When I rode Pat's orange ski at world finals, that thing wanted to almost be in a tail stand no matter how you rode. So nose light!

I hope to meet all you guys in Daytona who I didn't meet at the worlds and get some flip pointers - hope grow a pair and pull my first full clean flip :arms: Never been in the surf.

Trying to come up with a stocker/mild drivetrain to throw in the FS-1 for the weekend. I don't know if XScream will have my 1000 done in time, but I also don't think I want to run that in the surf for the first time riding it!!!! :nutkick:


definatly throw a stocker in there for daytona.......you will not enjoy yourself trying to learn the 1000c that weekend...



plus, I want to ride your boat with a stock motor..and thats enough reason right there :jester:

Now for real, its time for the indian airs and superman backflips, just one problem.. where are those damn superman bars? Do i really gotta make my own? It's time to make the backflip even more addictive.

Easier than the BR? It's crazy, I feel like the sky is going to fall on my head! What is the correct approach on the wave?



Far easier than a BR. I've only done it a few times, I approach a building wave slowly and look for a vertical face that's about to curl.
Then - put your ass on your heels and pin it.
And that's it.

Surf is looking good for use FL North Easters! Sat-Sun so far is calling for 6ft with 10-12 Sec period. Thats a small day for you west coaster, but will have some big air PICS next week!

We only get decent surf 5 times per yr! LOL

Not every day!

What is your typical surf size?
At what size do you consider it to be unusual?

We get decent surf here , just not like you guys. The normal is 2-3ft, nice surf is 4-6. Normally when we get decent surf it's short period or chop.

It's nice to have 4-6ft with 10+ sec!

We just run bigger motors to make up for the small surf! Lol

Way easier than a BR. Just takes more balls in my opinion. I always have butterflys until I attempt my first one of the day. We don't get real steep waves on Lake Michigan so flip days are limited for me. I can't wait to go back to the west coast!!!

You guys are almost convincing me of trying a BF!!! It's summertime here, so the waves are not so great. However, as soon as I have a chance I will try it and post a pic!!
