Freestyle Introducing Brian - CEO HydroCo & Blow Ltd's XS1 Carbon Hull

Hi there… thought it was time to introduce myself and let you know a little about me. – see bio below.
Over the past 10 months I have been working with a great group of energetic and enthusiastic guys that introduced me to your sport. The Blow XS1 is the result of their endless ideas and challenges and my business’s ability and resource to develop and build a product to their satisfaction – wasn’t easy keeping Six guys with varying ideas happy all the time! Anyway, we have done it with the XS1
(Cross Ski 1 – surf & flat water) for those questioning where we came up with this model ID.

I understand that there has been a lot of discussion on forum about the Blow XS1 – comments that have been both positive and negative.
My recommendation to anyone that is looking to purchase a new hull in the future is to ride them all. Ask as many questions as you can think of and make up your own mind. I certainly hope that the XS1 is one of the hulls you get to test – I am confident that you will not be disappointed!

All the Best,
Brian

Looks good Brian, I would love the get the chance to ride one someday.

If your looking for something else to create you should build a affordable RRP pole alternative. I know there is a few options available but I dont know why a pole should cost $1100+

where you seeing that?

"The ride plate design was first seen/released on the preliminary testing photos 7 months ago.
The goal was to change the length of the entire ski by changing ride plates - which each hull will come equipped with 2 different lengths, one for surf and one for flatwater.
The idea was being developed late last year at Blow Ltd but recently came to our attention on a number of a/m ski's inc. XFT, Lightweight, Krash Footrocket & Lenzi1One later on."

Interesting rideplate design. I've seen that somewhere before.

on my Light-Weight. it was Norberts design and idea. the Revolution has been out for 1.5-2 years so this "The idea was being developed late last year but has recently been seen on a number of a/m ski's inc. XFT, Lightweight, Krash Footrocket" doesnt even make sense.

Pump tunnel is wider and deeper, setback pump as well as setback motor with variable engine mount locations to change the center of gravity to suit your riding preferance! ..As well as 2 battery locations, firewall mounted or standard location!
Fits stock water box and oem superjet fuel tank which is still removable while the engine is in. Engine can be pulled out with carbs, mani and headpipe still attached.. same goes with stock exhaust! There is also way more room on thes sides of teh motor for making it way easier to work on! No probs getting your spanners all the way around on those carb bolts!
