Freeride hull weight

[Legdragger]

What is the generally accepted weight of a reinforced sj hull or an aftermarket hull made for surf?

Flatwater hulls weigh 90-100 pounds right?

Aftermarket hull is in the 70-100lb range for the surf (non prepreg). A stock reinforced hull can weigh 120-150 w/ hood.

My stock hull - heavily reinforced front to back - weighs 120 lbs without anything, no pole or hood or hardware.

i dont think a 70 lb hull is going to last very long in the surf

Unless it's Sickerling's lightweight hull. I don't know if it's 70lbs or not though.

like i said, i dont think a 70 lb hull will last very long in the surf. i dont care who made it and how. i just cant see it happnin. it might last a while.... but it wont last.

From what I hear (!) Sickerling's hull doesn't have as much as a little crack in it. He rides surf, and he rides big.

I was told 78-80.
My XFT Surf version hull has taken about 10-12 hard nose impacts doing big stabs at the beach in too shallow of water. No sign of damage or cracking yet. I also ride it in my local river rapids and have had some big rock hits on the bottom with no major damage. Seems like a tough hull.

right on.. best to hear advice and comments from people who actually RIDE in the surf... :biggthumpup:

IMO.. its all about your landings.. no matter how weak/thin our hull is.. if you dont 3/4 land it from 20' up.. it aint gonna crack/break.. barell rolls are alot harder on the hulls than BF's..

I DEFINITELY agree with that.:biggthumpup:

Actually that is right for the carbon finish version. I have the painted version.
