Ride it before you buy it going this route and bring someone that is familiar with skis if possible.

exactly^^^^^ buy a used rtr am hull

Don't waste your money on a SJ. If that's you in your avatar you got skilz. If you want to do tricks AM is the way to go. You can learn so much faster on an AM hull.

Krash is selling a new RTR AM hull for around $13k.

Hope you have cash in hand!!! Not going to last long IMO.

I don't know the seller BTW. That's a good example of what you can find if you are patient. Hard for newbies to learn all the build lingo. I know it took me about 2-3months of reading before I totally understood what's what and how much certain parts,hulls and motors are worth. I constantly read the for sale pages to get a good feel.

We ride all the time at Hugo in Jax Fl if you ever want to brave the surf.

GLWS!

I would say go AM hull right off the bat, superjets are great and they can do a lot of things, but they can get boring and you will save money in the long run by just getting what you want. Plus each hull rides very different, so getting proficiency on a SJ isn't all going to transfer to an AM hull when you upgrade.

My first ski was a 750SX i rode for 2 summers, second ski was a lightly modified 07 SJ that ive been riding for 1 summer but its time to move on as I beleive the ski is limited my ability to progress. There's only soo much you can do on an SJ (especially since i live where there is no surf for thousands of miles) and ive gotten to the bored where im bored. Im hoping an AM flatwater ski can keep me more entertained in the flat waters im stuck riding.

make 2 friends with boats and use em for some v wakes
