My buddy just rode with his Blowsion Composite D cut plate last Saturday. Said he really liked it compared to his R & D Rec plate. Too bad he snapped his UMI handlepole and sank his ski the same day.:banghead: hyperextension of the handlepole = bad

We use standard gallon paint can lid for template works great. I just recently did mine and at higher speeds I noticed no ill handling or planing effects at all. Nose just comes up quicker and stays up. I have plain hull no sponsons/tubbs.

should I cut my extended wammer plate flush and then d cut or should I cut my stocker?

I'd try the stocker first. Then once you know you like it, cut the wammer plate when/if the stocker breaks.

good point. I was torn because the wammer fits perfectly but it's also worth more in resale (not that I ever sell anything).

okay...what does this do for handling? Am I missing something...I like long ride plates and I hit the surf with 'em.....cut the length down seems crazy to me. Help me understand!!!

^^^^^^^Read back through the thread! It gets the nose of the ski out of the water more for freestyle/freeride......the boat will not handle as good....... it is not a mod you do for racing, just playing around.......probably aimed more toward flat water. imo
I have also heard it will give you a better setup wake, as the ski will plow through the water more.

i had one from one that one of the georgia boys gave me to try......within an hour of it sitting on my bench..butti scoped it, and I havent seen it since :rippedhand:
i have a wammer carbon plate that has d-cut written all over it....:Banane01:
demon.....d cutting it shouldnt devalue it too much...not seeing as there are plates on the market with this design!
