can you flip of your own wake ?
Custom/Hybrid Bob Gen 2 an honest review
- Thread starter Tommygunz
- Start date
I have only had one day of semi flatwater riding since I've had this hull and was able to try two flips before my driveshaft blew out. I only made it about 3/4 of the way around. I'm sure with some practice I will make it no problem. Besides I have never even tried flips before I got my bob, and in the first day riding in 2 foot surf I was making flips no problem
Hopefully m and the guys can make a trip south soon to get some somewhat warmer flatwater testing in 35 degree water isn't fun to play in when its flat......but were hoping for some surf today and its suppose to be upper 30's air temp so we might be out this afternoon

After a little grinding, welding and cutting the mod ride plate was ready for testing..... and turned out to be an awesome surf conversion plate
NIce work, tell us if it work well!
The plate worked awesome! It made my Bob feel almost like my old roundnose superjet-not nearly as nose high and made it easier to spin and recover without going into a tailstand( normally happens due to my weight). Didnt have any real waves to test it on but overall the feedback from all of us was a smile!

I tried the dry suit, but my finger is still white after 40min of ride because the drysuit dont cover my hand. And if i wear glove more than 4mm, i dont feel the throttle anymore.
How long do you ride in these conditions ??

I wear a quicksilver 5/4/3 semi wet suit and a slippery tour coat with hood and helmet. For shoes I wear wrestling shoes with neoprene socks and hotfeet pissers. Hands are just heatseeker gloves with hothand pissers.
We usually ride through about 5 gallons of fuel each- about 3 to 4 20 minute sessions.

Holy-moly man! Those pods look tiny! I've been thinking that mine were too small, but then again, my feet are always in the holds.We also felt that there was way too much foot pod taking up tray space. So we did our own Bob pod mod

Was thinking i would do the same thing to free up the tray area! Do you think there would be some way to easily extend one of the pots back a few inches for more versatility when in surf stance? Not say move it back (as in move the bolts), but actually make the pod longer front to back?
