looks good and all, but I want to see action, hook up, durability.

if we dont see hook up, there is no action, if no action, no demo of durability. lol:slap:
 
Sorry fellas, let me set a few things straight- The blow XS1 has been a side project I have been working on for close to one and a half years now the project came to light basically as we saw many potential design improvements that could be made to the hulls we were riding. Now that been said the company that took the project on, took it on as a part time venture and promised us ‘time when possible’ the past year has been very busy in the core business so less time has been dedicated to this project in the factory and more work has had to be outsourced which has become quite expensive and time consuming and keep in mind this is no SJ/Kawi based hull which means everything had to be engineered/designed, trialed and tested- this involves alot more work than you think.
Over the past 4 weeks we have been working flat-out to get it finished, few customers have taken position of their units and when builds are finished certainly video/photos etc will be published.

I’m expecting to have about 3 skis on the water within a fortnight and two full comp factory skis within a month or two.

I'm assuming it finally "went away" lol just like multiple other hulls. Its probably for the best, and I hope no one lost money on this.
 
Yeh to put it simply I got less than I originally wanted/promised out of the project, I don't think this hull can be successfully commercialised with the builders lack of knowledge and experience in the industry, there is only so long you can spoon feed someone before cutting all ties- I Built my unit and have been riding it for the past 3mths, but i personalty wouldn't buy a factory built unit and feel for the people that did for a long list of reasons, which i would be more than happy to talk about via PM. Was good fun building this ski, an opportunity that not many people get to experience but now im just interested in riding and the molds are with blow ltd (if they still exist) gathering dust. I believe 4 units built in total all of which all come with their own problems (perhaps 3 units were never delivered to paid customers, im not sure if their is any intention from the company to make these customers whole). To make it clear im no longer involved.

wow! there you go, its a shame as the ski started to look the goods but there is no substitute for experience i guess. Would the owner be interested in selling a mould cheap, love to make my own hull someday or should i steer clear due to problems with the moulds?

Id be buying a locally built hull that supports our local scene, namely FP boats or Krash industries, help those who are helping you.
