Surfriding Krash Industries Foot Rocket (Insane footage in the surf!)

[NVJAY775]

I've seen Nick in another vid killing it on about the same size hull. And the conditions were kinda brutal compared to this vid. I see a 720 in the near future...

edit: This hull looks maybe a tad longer..? Not sure, but still a small hull and the conditions weren't as good as the first vid.

Nicks ripping hard !!!!!!

Here’s a few fun facts<o></o>
<o> </o>
This was Nicks second ride on the Footrocket and first time in the surf. <o></o>
<o> </o>
He was out there for less than 15 minutes yet still managed to get enough footage for the short vid<o></o>
<o> </o>
The footrocket has a bolt on tail section so it can be set up any length you like from super short (as ridden in this vid as he had a flat water show to get to about an hour after this ride) or nice and long for big surf.

It also has removable tubbies avaliable in different wieghts
<o> </o>
Nicks first comment to me after riding in the surf was " I landed tricks today in average conditions that I have never been able to do on any other hull even in good surf"<o></o>
<o> </o>
This ski is basically a prototype to see what the footrocket (which was primarily designed for flat water) would be like in the surf.<o></o>
<o> </o>
He will be testing different tubbies, ride plate and fin combos over the next few weeks <o></o>
<o> </o>
The footrocket has a revolutionary rocker/curve right though the hull, inspired from surfing roots<o></o>
<o> </o>
So far we have found the hull to be very neutral and easy to ride, even given its small size
<o> </o>
Expect to see a lot more of these hulls in the near future<o></o>

Awesome, I love to see all of the progression in our sport. Obviously, you can flip, etc. with a 650 superjet in the right conditions, but the a/m hulls are really exciting especially since yamaha wont be making superjets much longer.

540 was sick! now i wana see a double cork like shaun white

 

[jetski700]

I didn't actually see any tricks landed. I saw alot attempted and attempted well but how many actually got rode away from.
I think the hull has been shortened to much because he normally lands his tricks.

 

[truerider411]

Hull looks very impressive. i would love to see more video. very sexy hull though and awsome riding!!!! props to krash!!!

 

[Sharky]

There was one landed but tail stand and spin around to get going ...this is a great looking ski and well done to nic for making it ....there will be guys who ride in small surf who dont mind not landing tricks or tail standing all the time, I would assume in smaller surf you may land some....just simple maths really the shorter the hulls in the surf the harder they are to ride XFS and XFR proves this...the longer bolt on ride plate may help this and seems to be a great idea ....mind if i steel that idea nic for my FPX (its been done before eme use them ect ect )

I like the video very cool editing showing the strengths of the ski and makes it look very professional, A longer ride plate will only do so much as the longer rails will also help handling and stability and help keep the rear up when landing trick, seems we have haters and lovers of short hulls in the surf ..

nic on the orange boat XFT short hull came second to piere so he has been doing spins for years

Its good to have new hulls

That flair looking thing at 1:03 was tight!

If anybody thinks this sport is progressing they need to watch a video of joe Kenny circa 2001. Br reentries, double barrel rolls, 30ft backflips and powerful stylish surf riding..no matter what ski your riding it dosnt replace skill and wave knowledge

 

[DK-Freestyle]

That was a great vid, but I'm very skeptical, and I'm not trying to be negative here, it's just that after trying a BOB in the surf it left me with a pretty bad impression towards short skis (Sorry Ski Clinic)

It was a flat water hull that some people use for surf.. its not for everyone, and we understand that.

After watching that video, I think I need to get myself a surf ski...

lol the very first trick was landed... :dunce:

 

[Idok]

my take...looks like a great ski, and ridden by a great rider


it definatly rides nose high (just like all the short a/m flatwater skis do XFR/badass/Lenzi/carbon F1pro)..gives you that "climbing a ladder" feel when you board it...but once on plane rides fantastic


I'd like to see a vid of an average rider out in the same conditions........pros make everything look good!



Ive been lusting over the other Krash hull thats been floating around this area for the past few months........Hope to put some time one 1 soon!

 

[Sharky]

no ect ect. emes is not the same at all.

yeah thats where i have seen the same thing ....the boys from the Blow ski did the same bit of heat between the two as they come from the same city LOL.......zack do you have 2 ride plates or do you just run the longer one as i cant see u doing to much flat water stuff ...u could be the dark haired lenzi hahaha

 

[motozachl]

Ski looks fun as hell !!!!!
