EPIC scupper sunk my ski

[Pablo]

Any scupper will rip with tail first landings and months of neglect with a worn-out flapper. I've done it myself. If u have a scupper it requires vigilance each time u head out to inspect it. Since I lost mine way back I check it first thing before I ride. If it looks stretched or worn out I replace or cap the hole.

useful info from another board:

1 Liter or 1000cc (or ml) equals 1 kg or about 2.2 lbs. We're going to use 1 foot of showtime's 3.5" diameter noodle. Converting this to metric we use 1"=2.54cm. So, the noodle is 30.48cm long by 8.89cm in diameter.

Here goes: volume of a cylinder=pi(r)(r)(length)or 22/7 X 4.445cm X 4.445cm X 30.48cm = 1892.7cc or 1.89L

Converting the weight of 1.89L of water back to pounds is 1.89kg X 2.2=4.16 lbs. This does not take into account the hole going down the length of the noodle! In other words, the noodle will actually support a little less than 4.16 lbs!

So.......1 foot of 3.5" diameter pool noodle should float about a 4lb piece of metal on top of the noodle.

If you gonna bother to put ''POOL NOODLES '' in your ski which I use in my B-1 . Use the ones with NO hole thru the center, easily available on ebay . my noodles are still going strong after 4 or 5 years now with no saturation .
