For those of you who didn't see it on Facebook, here's my little edit of Coquina with the Daytona Freeride thrown in at the end. This is my second and third surf ride after 11 months off the water, so I'm quite rusty, but the Predator is doing a lot of work for me.

The ski rides perfect and surf riding has become much smoother, it actually feels like a surf board in a lot of ways. I have never had such tight yet stable turning in a ski before. The ski is completely controllable from your body positioning; it leans back when you do, it unhooks when you lean forward, and it lays over with ease. It makes surf riding a blast just to see what it can do in sketchy spots. Absolutely loving this hull more and more, even with a kawi 800 in it! Anyway, I'm just excited to have it, let me know what you guys think! I appreciate all feedback.

Nice riding mate. I so keen to get a ride on one of these skis but Krash hasn't got a good name in the UK due to a lot of issues. I think there is only 2 in the country at the moment.

Thanks! That's strange, I got a ski from them specifically because they had such a good reputation here. And Nick had the hull shipped out in a few weeks.

Nice video and ski. I hear nothing but good things about the Predators. Have you had an opportunity to ride a FS/FR-2 EVO1? If so, I'm just wondering how they compare in handling characteristics?

Looks awesome! Wish I could justify getting one to be my Foot Rocket's big brother..!
Is that the turf peeling off the rails at the nose already, though?

Yeah the turf was peeling off, but it was my fault for not gluing it correctly and then not checking it

Thanks! I haven't tried the rickters. I was just attracted to Krash since I knew it had to be tough (since it was made for ausy surf) and the guys riding them are some of the best riders and coolest dudes I have met. I bought the hull before I even tried it mostly because I wanted to support the guys and company behind it. @tightithrash could maybe shine some light on handling differences
