Freeride hull mods.

My hull is completely stock, I weigh 60 kg, my engine is a 750 with two carburetors, sxi exhaust modified to go forward, any help is welcome, I've seen a lot of things on the forum and I don't know what to do.

Some here have spent massive amounts of money on X2s trying to get one to backflip , a few may have succeeded but it was very few and it's not worth the cost IMO .
 
So for surfing, whatever, something that gives me more confidence to surf and jump, because in Brazil it's not that easy to have a maneuver jet, I surf waves between 1.6 ft and 6.5 ft, doing a black flip on the flat, it would certainly cost a lot of money for that, I accept any tip, I would be very grateful, in Brazil not many parts arrive and much less do I have the means to buy a reaper, I'm competing and several maneuvers are already coming out with the stock jet, I wanted to improve whatever it was, hug

In my opinion the best hull mod is front sponsons or Tubbies , on X2s they need all the flotation they can get , they pick the nose up just a bit and help greatly with turning , I have done the hull reshaping mods on X2s before and IMO I wouldn't do it again. Keep im mind I am just an average rider but I have owned some pretty fast X2s in the past.

Being in Brazil and knowing what shipping costs to there if I could find someone local that made knockoff tubbies I know what I would do.

sorry friend, I'm using the translator, what does “IMO” mean?, If you can contact me on Instagram to give me more ideas, I would be very grateful @formigaskt

Go for it but like I said I wouldn't do that mod again on one of mine, lots of work , little benefit , IMO means in my opinion , so take it for what it is , sorry for the confusion , the tubbies come already foamed , you just glue and screw them in place , no hull cutting required , if you do a search here there many threads covering tubbie installation.
 
I have the mold of the super jet tubbies, which my brother uses on his super hull, I can't get used to the loose arm, so I want to continue on the x2, and with the Kawasaki engines

It's all detailed out in this thread as well as a few other mods.

Tell me some decent places to visit down there that are not just tourist traps , we are looking at taking a trip to Brazil in the near future . I am really interested in checking out the local jet ski scene down there .

Lots of threads on what to do. You should also try a Yamaha Wave blaster 1 1993-1996.


Best x2 build ever built:
 
Come to Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. Big names have come to the world championships here from 1996 to 2005. I was born in 2001. I am the son of a mechanic who worked at this event at the time. It is called JetWaves, organized by Tchelo and Carol Justina. Big names have come here, such as Chris Maclucte, Taylor Curtis, Pier Maxsan, Jimbo and James, among others. As I said, I am the son of a mechanic who worked for Tchelo at the time. I am 23 years old and I started riding jets a year ago. I have been riding jets since I was 16. I really wish I had the means to have quality equipment, but I will do with what I have access to. Whenever you want to come, you will be welcome here. In 2025, during the Easter holidays, there will be another stage of the Jet Waves, which happened again this year. It was my first championship and I am super excited to start doing more maneuvers and as high as possible.
 
I'm translating so it may not be that easy to understand, but I hope you come to Brazil, I have a lot to learn from you!! If you have any other means of contact, leave me here and I'll get in touch!

My dad rides a blaster, I've ridden it and it's really good, but he's only in the sit down competitions, and I want to race stand up against my brother hehe
 
As stated before, unless you're very good at fiberglass work, I would minimize hull modifications to your x2. I've seen 1 x2 flip in the surf and it was shortened I believe 5 inches. He also swapped in a yamaha engine and 144mm pump. Barrell rolls on the other hand are going to be much easier.. I have an x2 and it is a fun ski to ride even in surf but for flips and such your much better off starting with a more capable hull designed for that type of riding. Mt x2 became much more fun just chopping the last 1.5 inches off and installing a good umi steering system.. foot straps also will help considerably.
