Hydro-turf Extended SJ side rails

[Mark Gomez]

The ones that blowsion sells here

http://www.blowsion.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=YAAMUP753
how is it made and installed?
is it a turf molded fiberglass extension or plastic? idk id like to get it but im curious how it works.
how do people like them too?

and this is going on my Square nose so im looking for people who have used this on theirs i can imagine its the same as a RN would be?

The extended rails that I have seen and dealt with were simply flat turf with another layer of either grooved or diamond turf over them. :biggthumpup:

A lot of Blowsions stuff is very well thought out and very well tested equiptment. A lot of it is very simple and can be done yourself if you dont want to pay that much.

PM Lou and ask for a picture of the XFT rails. They are pretty awsome. They are like a 1 inch thick piece of turf glued to the side of the hull then the diamond turf is wraped around that. Really nice work

But it is all in preference I don't play on the hood enough to warrant rail extentions.

I dout you'll be riding enough flat water in oceanside to need them. There nice for when you actually gotta stand or grab the rails on ball breakers or 5050s...about it though

Its a strip of high density closed cell foam (must be closed cell) with the normal Hydroturf side rails fitted over the top -they have enough material to cover the additional (less excess is cut off when finished) - foam used for canoe boyancy is suitable.

They do affect the handling a bit (ski less tippy for rolls and stabs) - bit like tubbies perhaps - but grate for old school hood tricks if that's your thing.
