FX-1 My perpetual FX-1 Build

[just joe]

I posted this in the ski build-up section as well, but thought I'd post here too. I'm quite proud it's done and did almost everything myself, even though when I started I had no idea what I was getting into. I think it's better that way! If you have any questions on the pump or the build, let me know.

[jerzyjet]

Little pin strip.

What a coincidence, I was thinking the same.

Also considering a bright/neon red pin stripe, or tangello pearl (since I have an unopened qt). Unfortunately my paint skills are at their max with what I did.

If anyone's in Santa Cruz and can airbrush, let me know. I have the supplies, just not the talent.

The decals are the Blowsion stickers, stitched smiley face, and the FX1 logo/reg numbers. No clear over them. Have to leave the option of changing the graphics when bored.

looks awesome! i like seeing nice fx-1's..... something different. need a picture of the tray... holds? straps? anything?

 

[just joe]

holds yes (diggers), straps no. I still need to add a d-ring for the pole rope.

Gunna pass on the hood straps as well. i have them, but i'm not convinced I need them. thoughts? I plan to ride the surf occasionally.

Just moved to california last year, actually, and it's the surf that pushed me to finish this ski... :hail: i thought a good day was catching a wakeboard boat on our lake in Michigan. My jaw dropped at Pismo beach. Waves were huge and non-stop.

I need to get her tuned soon so I can head out there and have at it. I have no idea close the jetting will be so plan to hit a small lake for a shakedown.

[just joe]

Beautiful ski and great craftsmanship. Congrats!

 

[just joe]
