Yesterday was proof of concept for my new build!!!

I have been trying for several years and builds to build an all around ski that is good to ride for all conditions surf and flatwater without too many compromises.

This ski has mostly stock electrics with charging, stock 38mm carbs, and oem superjet fuel tank. It starts easily and runs on prem pump gas for about 2 hours of surf riding. If it is sunk, there isn't as much stress- sbt crank stock stroke crank and no expensive billet motor or stroker crank to worry about. It is a great handling ski all around.

Yesterday I blasted some small glassy daytona surf in the morning and then cruised over to Superwetbrett's new lake pad for a flatwater afternoon ride (sweet new pad and ride spot by the way).

I can flip this ski silly off almost any boat wake, but am still 'flatwater setup wake challenged' and can only occasionally get a sloppy plate to plate in. I had been dying to get lucas on it on flatwater to see what he could do. I knew it had the power, but was still shocked to see lucas even overrotating backflips and underflips off a setup wake! No powerfactor pipe, no total loss, no cart tank, no power valves, etc. It almost looked like he was riding with a 1000cc! Hopefully some who was there will chime in.

Both Blue for porting magic and Tem for an amazing hull deserve so much credit for the success of this build. I am so sorry I did not make flatwater friday at daytona so more people could have tried it.

This has sealed the deal on my decision to keep my drivetrain until I can flip and roll with ease on my new carbon Badass. All more power will get you is more height if you learn the proper techniques like my man Lucas.

Why the -1.5? Is the -4.3 too short for the surf? Is this 760 any different then your 781? Hit harder or something? This is my dream setup right here, all around ski with a stock tank, electronics (no TL etc), sips gas and that can flatwater flip but still take a beating in the surf.

Hull length is dependent on riding style and preference. I peronally woud prefer the shorter boat. My boat is -8 and I love it in even in the 8-12 for west coast surf

Holy poop -8!? Its a freak too right? Wow! What is the major difference in the shorter hulls in the surf? I know its easier to get out of the water especially in backflips on flatwater, but I have always seen longer hulls for the surf (still like you said, all preference).

No sorry it's not a freak. It's a rok. Completely diff handling boat. Even at that length is still more stable then a SJ. But if u was getting as feel I would go at least -4 .I've really bean considering a-4 glass freak. Spoke with tem quite a but when he was here for the Pismo freeride. Carbon would be easy too light in our big surf.

Got ya I was considering a rok or a freak, to me they seem like a nice all around ski. I thought a rok was the same -4 roughly like the freaks, did you get yours extra short? I'd defiitely go carbon wih the small waves we have on this coast. JM/B BB 781 looks like it will get the job done power wise. Now if I could just buy lucas's skills....
