We took the Bobs out in 12-15 ft surf this past Sunday and gotta say they are more than surf capable 
And I was doing it weighing 240 lbs with a standard plate and still did fine. Although Zack had the surf plate on his(which he said was phenomenal). Zack was wearing a gopro so as soon as he get the video off of it I'll try to have him post it up here.

How many times a year does that ^ happen? Holly H3LL i cant wait to see that video! Where do you ride on the lakes? I can only imagine what 12-15ft wind blown surf looks like........
We ride- in Sheboygan, where the natural reef there makes ultimate surf conditions. We get big waves like that a handful of times each year- but the ones we had on Sunday were pretty messy and inconsistent. Still pretty fun though
After reading other posts on here about aftermarket hulls I feel very satisfied with my Bob! It has held up all winter in big surf after hundreds of flips and barrel rolls without an ounce of stress
And now patiently awaiting a Powerhouse Performance 4mil stroker with 61x jugs. Wrist pin bearing chowdered motor so Zack is now building me a monster........

Well we got the new rideplates from Derrick .....awesome plates! Decided to take Trevors out for a flatwater test and I was able to flatwater backflip it off my own wake. He has a Powerhouse 760 with dual 44's msd enhancer bpipe and lightened flywheel. Ski rtr is 340lbs....... and I weigh 240 so I was extremely happy to know that flatwater flips are possible with our surf weight hulls and the surf plate on!
Now I can't wait to see what my 4 mil stroker will flip like:bling::bling:

That's sikk! Your first flip was after you started this thread right? Good to know you can flatwater flip a 340lb BOB with a 760

So it flips in the surf and flat water, and they're pretty much bullet proof. Hope you guys like them!
Are you doubting our waves.......? Sorry I do all my posting from my phone so I don't have much for pics on it

Tom, you may hold the bragging rights for heaviest ski, smallest engine to be flat water flipped!
I wonder how this makes the guys that spent twice as much on the "other guys" ultra light carbon hull with a big shinny engine and still can't get it all the way around feel?

Thanks man
Chad definitely has one of the nicest, cleanest looking hulls I've seen yet! His attention to detail is second to none.
Well cases were epoxied and left to cure last nite so hopefully today Zack and I will bring the 4 mil stroker to life tonite and hopefully I can get some video in the test pond of us flippin it! This thing should be a monster- 4 mil stroker crank, 61x jugs punched to 760 and ported to the hills by Zack at Powerhouse! Will come out to a 799cc all said and done........
