Your either gonna to see a quick build in 2-3 weeks or nothing until January :) Stay tuned!

After committing to a westbound Freeride trip this year, while late to the game, I also committed to changing hulls. I've really enjoyed the last three years on my carbon brawler playing in the flat water game. I'm done chasing the flat water back flip and I'm ready for a new hull that is more universal. Ride surf, chase v-wakes, carve leg drag turns, chasing boats, and sure some flat water! After many phone calls and sleepless nights, I ordered a Rickter XFR-LT in visual Textreme with custom XFR American colors :)

I ordered the hull in April and knew I "might" have a chance of getting it in time. Knowing I wouldn't have long to build, I've spent the last few months detailing my build in documents, asking questions, and ordering lots and lots of parts. As far ahead as I am, I still feel behind. Custom skis, custom problems. Many thanks to Brian at Thrust for helping me in the parts selections. It's all sitting on my living room floor

I actually wrote off building this for my trip but... I just got a tracking number and the hull should be delivered Friday Sept 7th! Time to talk myself into gutting my perfectly good running ski and starting the build! Who's with me!?!

Donor ski.

I plan to use the motor, electronics, pipe, carbs, and tank.

What a tease! I woke up checked tracking and had an ETA of 3pm... then 5pm, then 7pm, and now a window of 9pm till Midnight. Unfortunately since its being delivered to my offices loading docks no one will be here. I asked for a call ahead so I could drive back to work and unload myself but they wont do that. I hope they try again tomorrow in the AM!

Nick, can you go to the terminal and pick it up?

I woke up excited Friday morning only to find out the hull wasn't even loaded on a truck for delivery. After some unhelpful emails, I decided to give the delivery company a call. Speaking with the representative on the phone, I learned it "might" get delivered Monday.

Time for Plan B, drive 30 miles and pick it up! They said I can only pick up with a letter of "authorization" from the last shipper "worldwide express". Four hours left in the day to contact three different shippers and get a letter, fat chance I thought. Having no idea where to start, I looked at the Bill of Landing and saw a name and number listed for the guy who signed for the hull.

Wouldn't you know, I called Tom Perry who turned out to work for Hot Products and he knew exactly what to do for me. In less then 10 minutes he wrote a letter, emailed the three transit companies involved and I was able to pick the hull up two hours later! Huge thanks to Tom and everyone who was able to help out!
