no gas, half charged battery, haha. i should have specified that better. my ready to ride means its done and ready for gas. everyone has different tanks and amounts of fuel so i like to eliminate that part of the ready to ride weight.

Well it felt amazing at first but it waterlogged fast and the nose got really tricky to keep down. it rails the corners pretty good and i can ride it no problem. I had a heavy wetsuit and hipwaders on which means i can barely move and that makes riding a bit tough. I am going to fix that leak and build a flatwater hood for my ski. i got some crappy phone video of our ride today that i will post up.

during our ski shack meeting we can up witha killer new hood design, its gonna be the ugliest but the most functional hood ever. dubbed the "ski shack hull cap". we started making the mould today...

it is ugly because it will not match my hull. the idea is the same as the xfs hood. i am still unsure of where/what i will do the breather tubes. either thru the hull under my MSD into the tray or right thru the top of the hood. If I breathe thru the hood, then nothing changes on the hull and going back to the proper hood is perfect. i want 2 tubes. one on each side near the back of the hood, you can see one hole in the mold. each tube crosses thru the hull to the opposite side and about 2" from the bottom of the hull. from the top of the hood they roll into the tray area. i want to put some frog skin on the intake areas to reduce water injestion.
