Yeh you need some grunt to do flat water flips.... i would imagine with trim a decent wave an x-2 should flip verticaly.. prob find out this weekend.

Well anybody got any tips on trying this? I've been debating on giving this a shot in the surf for a while....

Just move the steering back 12-18 inches and find a wave.

What does moving the steering back do? I love that video, but that guy must have some serious brap in that thing.

 

[madd_dips]

would love to know who that is in the video and what his mods are?????

The X2 in that video has a lot of trim and power. Moving the rider back and finding a breaking wave will make up for lacking power and trim. Plus the ride is a lot smoother and drier.
