foot holds on joe kenney's skis

[Fro Diesel]

i was searching for more info on what kind of foot holds joe kenney uses. Are they just some home-made ones that he glassed in? I will search for the pics right now. I want to do straps and the Joe kenney style footholds on my rn build.

The guys at blowsion widen his tray and build the long foothold slots in the gunwhales for him. It requires a custom made carbon fiber exhaust tube in the hull ( $800 by itself ) to clear the extra width of the modified tray.

wholly big bucks batman. Damn. I thought i could do something similar for cheap. guess not...unless....side exhaust here i come. How do you know all this stuff? where can i get more info on his skis and how they are built? I take it from your post that they are not the recreational holds like posted above, but are actually longer custom made.

joe doesn't use any footholds. Just the 2 windsurfing straps. A couple of his skiis were widened and one had klowners, but they were just for Blowsion to advertise. His feet remain in the straps while he rides. You can widen your tray quite a bit without removing the exhaust pipe.

Hey buster, I know that pic!!!

Hehe, I took that at the 06 Blowsion Beach Party.

And what Mike said.....Joe rides in the straps. It seems the "footholds" where just there to widen the tray so his feet would fit across the tray.

It is also completely unnecessary to buy the carbon exhaust Im sure the existing could be modified to sit a little lower

 

[Matt_E]

Yep, just move the bilge hole lower.

not Joe's, but something similar, along with footholds... this is from the gallery by one of our members. I've seen it in person... nice indeed.

Same with Taylor Curtis. When I got his old ski it looked the same way. I think he rides barefoot in the straps. I put REV holds in after trying the rect. holds that were in there. They kill the top of your foot.

Here it is during and after the REV install. I kept the front strap, and use it sometimes.

thanks a lot for all the good info. I will need to buy some straps for spring riding.

Those are Klowners with the ankle support removed so you can fit in the tray on your knees with knee braces on. Jerry brandon and taylor did the same thing to jerrys ski when they got it back from blowsion
