The Revolution Hull was built in May of 2010 and is the brain child of Norbert Weber and Marck Sickerling. Norbert is the owner and builder of LIGHT-WEIGHT who also does composite work for Factory Porsche Racing, F1 racing teams, and has made carbon bodies for many other super cars. he is known through out the jet ski industry as building the strongest hulls on the market. Marc is a 6 time world champion freestyle rider and podium contender in freeriding with years of time on skis and talent through the roof. the idea was to build a fully adjustable hull so you can have one ski for everything. flatwater freestyle in the morning, freeriding in the afternoon, buoy course in the evening. this was achieved. heres some photos.
as you can see from the photo above, everything is adjustable. the length of the ski itself can be changed to have a shorter or longer ski. use the longer plates in big waves or put the shorter plates on for freestyle.
or something different
the footholds are also fully adjustable moving forward to be more centered for flatwater freestyle or back for the surf, up and down to get your foot nice and snug.
the tray is also removable so when installing footstraps your not drilling into the hull itself risking leaks into the foam and also to put a flat deck option on the hull.
the way water is introduced into the pump is also adjustable by having a flat oem style intake or a curved intake for loading the pump more which also seems to help for sliding

the strength an build quality on these hulls is second to none. there is a plan for every piece of fiber laid.
the ski is, in my opinion, one of the most overlooked hulls out today. the ski does it all, weather surfriding or flatwater freestyle, it gets it done.

I think the only reason the hull is overlooked is because of the pricetag... Other then that it its the most versatile,adjustable, prettiest hull on the market

heres a shot of the scupper system. one on each side, the scupper tubes are lower than the engine compartment so water gets out fast
the weights are
275.5 Pounds with 701 bpipe 5 gallon tank for the Carbon Fiber Hull Ready to ride
297.6 Pounds with 701 b pipe 5 gallon tank for the Fiberglass Hull Ready to ride
Blowsion is the US distributor. price on the fiberglass hull is $8935.90 (USD) and the carbon is I THINK 10,000 but dont quote me on that blowsion says email for a current price.
http://www.blowsion.com/products/799-lightweight-de-hull-2011.aspx
when this hull first came out peoples main issue was the price. i think in the time since its come out, you have seen skis getting up to the same price that arnt even on the same level of quality. also, your really getting 3 skis for the price of one. the adjustable is the only thing like it on the market and these skis are bullet proof. it might be more money BUT its the last ski you will have to buy. period.
