I don't think "optimized" is the right word for it. Yes, he is saying that your ski's design is more conducive to underwater tricks. It'd be nice if you'd post a picture of that 440!

So are you saying since the 440 is not a modern ski its actually optimized for underwater moves? good to know

Actually, yes, MikeSee... it is. That hull is ideal for underwater moves. It's that puny 440 motor and pump that will have you struggling to ride out of any of those moves, though.

I still think you should take that 440 and head out to the ocean for some wave hucking.

Preferably, on a heavy surf day, and be sure to go alone.

as i noted in another thread, i sold the ski to somebody in the harbor nearby as I had already decided i didnt want to keep it. having said that, if a backflip is as hard as people say and requires a ski warranting probably more money than I have, its good to know that tricks like this one can still be accomplished with whatever ski i get to replace the 440. my BMX background definitely helps me with the backflip but this move looks cool too and I could probably figure that out over time as well

thanks, makes sense. like i said, its sold anyway. people on this board talked me out of spending money on an engine upgrade so i will keep researching options to replace it.

and please when you have a chance reply to my PM about maybe me paying you to put together a ski as you have done others...when time of course. thanks

Make sure you buy the most expensive ski you can find.. The more it cost means the higher back flips it can do.. it don't take skill don't let these guys lie to you ;)

ha...well i know you are kidding, at least sort of. I will buy the most expensive ski I can afford though it wont be super high end but will definitely be better than a stock 440
