Hi everyone,

KrashIndustries.com is selling complete RTR: 997cc 50Cal flatwater/freeride, 997cc Predator freeride/surf and 997cc Reaper sitdown for $12,000.00 each. All are ready to rock.

We gotta thank Nick Barton at Krashindustries.com and everyone at Krash Industries for making it possible for most of us that don't have alot of cash/money to spend on a bad ass 997cc ski.

We can finally have an affordable ski. Hopefully we can have more new riders joining the sport. Imagined, tens of thousands of riders riding the surf all over the world or backflipping on the rivers and lakes on any given day. I live in Cali and I see only a hand full of riders. I hope to see aleast a thousand riders or more doing flips and tricks...

Thank You so much Nick for making it possible for so many of us. I will start saving, hopefully I can afford to get on soon. I like the 50cal...

Yeah. So badass. If I hadn't just spent almost half this much on just a rickter hull and few parts id be all over it. I'm definitely jumping on board after this current build is done.

People can hate all they want about quality and getting burned. Fact is that krash has stayed in the game and not backed off their fury of innovation since they started. They push the industry harder than anyone else. People try and bash them. But those same people support other builders or vendors that have had just as many problems.

Thanks krash, and Nick. Glad to see this out and can't wait to see a ton more riders out there because of it.

Really looking forward to seeing this innovation. Hope to see it in person once they get to the states. Had a great conversation with Nick a few days ago. Seems that Krash has done there homework and moving this sport forward! MAybe Krash should schedule a few demo days around the country for the interested parties to get a hands on.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I read somewhere that it is an introductory offer with limited supplies at that price range.

I hate to be the bad guy here but 12k doesn't sound like that crazy of a deal. I have never looked into the surf market but I feel like you can build a similar size ski for near the same price no? how much does a surf hull cost? I was assuming the hull is half the price of a flatwater hull or 6k at most. A bpipe is cheaper than a laydown pipe almost half as well. Electronics are cheaper and pumps can be smaller and cheaper in my mind. I built my first flatwater ski for 20k. (carbon hull, laydown pipe, TL, big carbs, 155 pump) so no short cuts except for a good deal or two. I feel like it would be possible to build a surf hull with a similar motor for maybe a few bucks more than the 12k plus replacement and upgrade parts much cheaper to find. If 12k is really such a steal than that's cool but how many beginners need a 1000cc motor for the surf since I would assume the bigger riders will have sponsors or willing to invest more money for a ski of their choice in parts.

Plus flatwater skis with crazy platforms are getting under 20k if you look, you saying that you couldn't get a crazy surf build for close to the 12k? Just seems to me to only save a few pennies, especially if only limited supplies at that price if that is true. I could see if it was 6k or something crazy "for the sport" but this looks from a rough calculation to be 15-20% off. More like "for boost of sales". Now you can say this will saturate the market and drive competitor prices down in the future. Sure we see that now already. But that type of stuff has been done many times before. With any AM company out there. Comparable hull for a little less.

Not saying anything bad about the Krash company or people involved. I heard the hulls are really great riding surf hulls. Just didn't seem like such a jaw dropping price. Damn sure aren't giving it away at that price for those who have less money. Those people are riding a $4k superjet. How many people seeing this stuff on youtube/social media are going to drop down 20k flatwater/10k surf. How many can even jump onto a superjet right away. Maybe not even onto a squarenose superjet depending on job and life their first or second ski. These skis are for people who have already invested time and money in the sport and with all the options out there Krash is not owning the market with this ski to force people to get on their equipment. Price would have to be way less to make so no other options be worth it.

And this is not even considering first generation production or quality controls.

Just my thoughts whenever I come across this concept.

I am thinking the cost of a 1000cc engine, intake manifold, reeds, carbs, flame arrestors, electronics, flywheel, pipe, water box, odds and ends alone is going to cost you 10-12k+ The fact you also get a 6k+ ski with pump, pole, steering, etc etc etc on top is an amazing deal.

Lol. No you can't. You would end up with used parts. This is brand new. With everything engineered for a standup. There is absolutely no comparison. This is league's above anything you could build for 12k. I have half that into a used evo with a tank and some misc aftermarket parts.

I don't even build skis for a living and I know both those comments are.rediculous

Yes I get that. A few bucks cheaper than if you build it yourself and cutting out the costs of a built ski if you bought one from TCFreeride or Blowsion or whoever else builds them. It is ideal for someone who has no knowledge and no desire to learn how to use a ratchet/wrench to build a ski. Everyone should learn how to wrench on a Sh*tbox before buying a big dollar unless you have a mechanic nearby who will work for free or you have a fat wallet and don't care to keep throwing money to them.

@Krenn Power Sports @Sparkplug Thats why I asked how much a hull costs. I got a rough calculation of 15k when I made the post. Of course a few odds and ends but a few bucks more would be worth it to be able to use parts that are available with almost any motor company out there. And correct, my build was 20k with used parts. I saved about $2500 I believe by a few used parts in my build. And you said everything engineered for standups...Umm okay, everything in my ski or most AM skis are built purposely for the standup they are in. We aren't talking about pulling a wave raider and slapping everything over

Just jotted down. The krash stage two starter kit $8500, DASA motor (6mil something like 1000cc)$6550, intake and reeds $558, dual 48s $1300, bpipe $735, gas tank $200, Electronics $700 (IDK I didn't price but close enough) = $18.5K swap out the DASA 6mil to a SS 964TPE and its 16.5k Building your own you have other options such as rickter and Tigercraft who has an extremely cheap hull. Many Surf hulls out there to go over. Either way if you have to have brand new to show your friends all the shiny parts then you can have BRAND NEW for somewhere near these prices. Used stage two, used low hour clean motor and other clean used parts you can build the ski for very close to that $12k and if skillful shopping maybe even under. Nothing is impossible these days with the parts people practically give away. And for those new riders with less money you really think they will spend more money on the new ski?!? That's why so many new riders buy a USED roundnose rather than the new one.

Alsoooo, how many new riders need a 1000cc motor, dual 48s and a 148 pump out there in the surf. They can definitely build a surf boat with smaller and more AFFORDABLE parts (since this whole topic is about affordability) with a 735-850cc dual 44s/46s and a 144 pump or OEM 155.

Now if your argument is about a more skillful rider who wants/needs the bigger platform then you finally reached a point. Yes that will be a cheaper option parts for parts on a built up surf boat. But how many of those people, besides Krash sponsored riders, want to have a one off platform. Only choices to be different is color at that point. Not everyone wants to have the norm and want to have some things a bit different than others.

@jonolove Their argument is 100% new and not shopping any deals. I agree with you tho, it can be done with affordable parts and making a strong surf boat. If not under 12k very close to that. And that kid on the brand new 997cc isn't going any higher than the kid on the 800cc if he can't ride it worth a damn. The Pro sponsored rider that Krash will put on a boat will boost sales because everyone will think they will be able to do that with the boat. Correct, you can....after a few years on the boat like the Pro has.

To sum it up, if the boat was less than 10k rtr that would be fantastic....but its not. Every newbee on here always says they have 8-10k to build a ski. Make a boat for them if this is truely a boat built for those that have a small budget. This sport isn't cheap saving a few thousand on a high dollar ski isn't much. Have something that someone on a SJ can upgrade to after selling his ski with a few bucks on top to boost their game. Not have to sell 3 SJs to buy one ski.
