I want to buy a set of riser bars for my sn. This will be the first set I buy so educate me on what I want. Need to run trim and I have new grips so I need standard diameter. But what length, what rise, and diameter, also do I Want any angle?

I highly recommend riding a ski that has them before making your purchase. I haven't ridden a setup yet that I didn't instantly hate the feel of.

They definitely take getting used to. It's nice not having to bend over as far when the pole is on the hood, but that's about it. The only other benefit, is being able to rotate them forward, or back for pole length changing. But that also screws with the turn plate pivot point, which also feels a little weird. I like them now because I'm used to them, but am going back to straight bars soon, just to see...

Well I rode one ski last summer with a set. I have stock bars right now so I thought I would get some options before I purchase some. I thought getting the pole down would be good but I'm not set on them. Just looking to see what's out there. If someone has a used set for a good price. Let me know. Until then I may make a set of straight bars from some solid bar stock.

Personal preference imo. Riser bars fit my style of riding. Tough to educate someone on what they want. With skis, you have to be willing to try a bunch of setups and waste some money with trial n failure.

What is the point of trim on a sn?

I don't know I'm learning. But eventually it will be swapped onto a shorter hull. You don't think even with trim and a big wake I can get the hull around?

You can get it around with a big wake and trim. The bigger the wake the better, find a BIG cruiser or a couple wake board boats. Good luck with it!

I fitted F.R.I risers on my ski about 6 months ago and loved them. the only difficulty is it makes getting back opn your ski harder but once youve mastered it its simple. I used to get back ache riding with straights but now that has gone due to me adding a little length to my pole.

I have ridden my buddies superjet in the surf with risers, and I did not like the way they felt. He swears they work wonders. Why not get the benefit of higher pole location by adding a bigger pole pad, and it will set you into a good position to surf waves with while maintaining the straight bars. It could be coincidence or not, but I know since he has changed over to riser bars, I think the angle as mentioned was off since he had them slightly forward and he has hurt his wrist twice now coming down from waves not to mention trying to crawl back on the ski after a fall is much much harder.

My two cents is I didn't like them, but it is all personal preference.

If you ever taken bar's to the face you will appreciate risers. By running risers you effectively run the chinpad lower while keeping the same body angle. I went to 75m risers and they took getting use to but well worth not to get punched in the face, my chest can take the abuse better.
