That bob was there first try at a vacuum infused and from what I heard it was way to thin and had to be patched when they popped it. Easy fix, add more material next time.

I had a great time on the brawler. I rode it twice because I was pretty close to buy one. I talked to the owner who's a New York rider and he said that the install was very simple and didn't require much work to switch everything over. It had a 701 in it which hit good. The ski is pretty stable. I would really like a front foot hold because I ride surf stance alot but the hull was great. I rode it as much as I could because its In my price range for a a/m hull. It really didn't ride that high.

I rode a EME micro and they were almost pretty close but the tray in the brawler was alot bigger. The micro was made more for flat water and enjoyed testing that.

Very tough decision when trying to find around 3-4 thousand dollars.

I'm just down the street from you(well down HWY12), and have been on your website checking out the freestyle edition daily, ordering a735 jetmaniac motor real soon and then will be calling you soon after. I lent a bunch of money to my wife for school buses and been reminding her the repayment date is fast approaching. For sure I'm going to have to try one out this spring.
Cheers Ray

Everyone wants video, but you have to realize tonight is party night there. I hope the people there are having fun and not worrying about posting stuff.

Always cracks me up how impatient the internet and having everything at your fingertips has made people.

Ya we started drinking the second we got back from flat water because we were all so cold. The sickest thing from flat water today was the two KDX hulls doing six back flips together side bye side about 30 ft from shore!

Who were the riders

I really don't know, I'm sure someone will chime in who they were. It was pretty crazy! That was my favorite part today besides testing out skis!

I'm no dropping my ski in the surf. A brand new XS1200 doesn't deserve a touch of salt. Ski is put away for the week now.

As for the cracks on the nose, it's far from a production hull, it's my own personal competition hull and it was my first try at the infusion process. It'd be a different story if it was my 100th hull for a customer, but this one's getting me on the water and I'm having so much fun with it. This just showed my that my next one needs some extra reinforcements in the nose, lesson learned and all part of R&D. Had to put it through the ringer to find out the weak points and we beat this one as hard as we could and I'm happy that's all that happened.

Back on topic, everyone seemed really chill and friendly at the event, I've got plenty of footage but won't have the Internet access to upload it until I get back home next week.

I'm just glad to be reading about all the good times going on where the air is warm. Very stoked for everybody there enjoying all the ride has to offer. I'm looking forward to pics n vids, but I know when I'm at a ride the last thing I'm doing is posting pics n vids. I'm selfish and can't help it lmao!

The front foot hold is in the works for them, not quite finished product yet but will be available. Pics to come.
