Yeah! The OP lives in our area and has ridden with us before so we are trying to direct her in the right direction for the type of riding available in our area.

well im sure shes wanting to get something to put her kawi drivetrain in too. some of the hulls mentioned above wont allow you to do that. her best bet would be to do as stated above, get a superjet, ride it this year, buy a hull next winter. sell the sxr, its getting you nowhere with freeriding

Agreed. Even if she gets an aftermarket hull it would make much more sense to sell the sxr and pick up a superjet for the same price to use as a donor ski. That way she has as superjet to ride until she decides on a hull, and it gives many more options for hulls. Plus a yamaha setup is more desirable than a Kawi setup.

Well I'm most definetly not a midget & I ride Kenny's q8 more than he does soo I do have a good for for his eme & I love his ski, I just hate the super freak foot holds he has. Idk if you've ever seen where I ride but the biggest wave I see all day is from my sxr lol I'm keeping my sxr for a surf ski for sure!! As for a super freak that's just out of my budget not a ski to drop my kawi in nor is a rickter. I've done a lot of research on the foot rocket & they can be setup perfectly for surf or flat water. All foot rocket owners describe how all around Amazon they are. I wish I had the money for a super freak I'd buy one for sure.. Maybe one day in the future.

for me it's regular boat chasing that's what I do where I ride. Those guys ride somewhere completely different than me I don't see any 3 story yahts ... Yet I ride next to a "yacht club" lol I ride in a different river where I chase anything with a wake I can get some air on. Everything you've told me has been very helpful on the foot rocket! Thank you! I'll probably wait till the end of the season or next year to get one!!!!

I can't find a lot of anything on the fp1 hulls I've tried to look into those, have any websites for them? Same with the brawler. There's like nothing on the internet!!

We ride In very different areas! I'm not a big fan of super jets. I don't like the tray & I already have a kawi just wanna put my motor in a ski. I got a steal on motor so it's not going anywhere except into an am hull!

Here's a thread about the FP1's http://www.x-h2o.com/index.php?threads/fp-jetskis.137383/#post-1561904
There's quite a bit of info about the brawlers on the X here, I think it's Brian_216 and JP79 that build them, they also seem like great hulls built by great guys. Chris Anyzeski ripped it up at the Lake Erie Freeride on a Brawler, there's video of it on here somewhere. He even pulled off a 35 foot backflip off a v-wake on it, it was huge!

You all just need to come up here an ride with us more often you'll understand alottttt more. Bobbing around small wakes down there with small boats isn't gonna get you anyplace. Plus you both did great that day. And if your gonna ride 100% flatwater a sxr swap in a Fr isn't gonna do anything still you'll need alotttttt more work $$$$$&

An SXR swap in a FR or Micro would be a decent beginner flat water hull. I saw Ryan Doberstein flatwater flip his Micro at world finals with a stock SXR800 motor and I'm sure you could do the same in a Footrocket.. It's going to take more skill than with a big motor, but her weight is a huge advantage for her.

Of course! I'd deff start with my motor though to get a feel of the hull before I broke out the big bucks. But I don't have a daddy to buy me any jet ski like someone we know lol I only have a few k saved up from working at the steakhouse so well see what happens. Maybe down the road I'll get a loan. I deff like your spot on riding well come more. But ya can't beat how convenient it is for me to dock my ski on Kenny's pier & take it out whenever without hulling it around!!!

Exactly! & I talked to Nick Barton about me putting my kawi into a fr & he suggested that was the best start for me if I ever were to own a fr.

Well if you're dead set on a FR or EME I think that's a no brainer. Foot Rocket.

you can on a foot rocket. I ride my FR on everything from flat water to overhead surf... don't confuse rider skill and ski length...
