They has been much better coverage of this on Facebook than here. Most of the guys are on smartphones. It's much easier to deal with FB on phones than the X. Zack has confirmed this issue.

I've been copying some stuff from FB to the X over the weekend in this thread:

[sprocketq]

sweet weekend realy pumped at watching jerry ride one of my ski in the semis, nice work guys

 

[tightithrash]

hahahaa! thanks Blobby! surprised you missed the hair flick. i gotta say im really stoked for the brits you guys just came out and showed a great show. very impressed.

i had the best time. had to ride the French deal to qualify, placed 2nd so made it to the ifwa. got beat by Ross then got around Marc for 3rd. unbelievable. im so stoked on riding and so stoked on the Lightweight hull. i feel like it is one of the most underated hulls in the market right now and i truely hope that is about to change. it turns, it flips, it rolls, its a kick ass surf boat. mine was fiberglass with Kevlar re-enforce and those who were there know i put it to the test with alot of hitting bottom. strongest ski ever.

thanks for the words guys!
