You had water in your cases. Did you fog your motor at all during the winter?

Likely water ingestion through the carbs or backfeed from the pipe. Alsways run hard and dry before putting it away.

That thing has almost no oil residue in the bottom end, looks dry.

Every night after riding surf and anytime I store the skis longer then a few weeks:

How long was it sitting since you had it out last?
I was riding the ski before 2 weeks.

Water is in the exhaust. If the nose is raised high gravity pushes the remaining water into the cylinder. Trailering can also do it.

I always blow motor out really good the pull full throttle for a few seconds then reach up and hit the off button while holding throttle wide open until completely shut down, this way it pulls fuel into the cylinders at the last second but there is no way for it to burn, gives a light coating.
I do the same after every ride and blow all the water from tge exhaust. But lately during high jumps and raising the nose up, the ski bogg and looks like it will shut off. Does this explain the water from the exhaust?
I took the crank out and it was only a layer of rust that didn't reach the core.

I would actually guess that you may have had an oring leaking or head gasket leaking water. Or, your plug wires were breaking down (broken strands near the plug boot). Both would have the same effect while riding.
Water blowing in would get worse at higher RPM's = More pressure.

Your not planning to run it are you? Theres no way to tell if the bearings are pitted.

Am using ADA head with a new O rings. At high speeds everything is fine only when I go to WOT from 0 it struggles to go.
I started to check and clean it and soaked it in WD40. But when removed I rotate the crank and it didn't feel any roughness or abnormal sound from all bearings.

looked like just surface rust. but hard for any of us to tell.
