So I got to ride my X-2 in the surf today for the first time and all I have to say is WHAT A BLAST:bananalama: :bananalama: :bananalama: . I put both my SX-R and X-2 in the water and had to fight with myself to get on my SX-R but i had to work on my barrel rolls (no success :banghead: but getting there). Back to the X-2 I cant wait to put a 750 in it and some Tubbies this winter. I know everyone love the blaster due to a better design but man the X-2 is fun.

I made a very similar post (on pwct) the first time I took my X2 in the surf.... minus the llamas and SXR barrel roll attempts.

man... i still haven't even made it to the surf yet this year. having your skis at your parents house an hour away SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

i wish i could get my blaster out in the surf... but i gotta glass the rear transom lip since it has hairline cracks in it. i don't feel like losing the rear end of my blaster landing some air.

No surf near me for miles .... :(

Also the idiots out in boats do not understand me when I ask them to make waves for me.

What part of "go slow and keep the boat trimmed up" do they not understand?
They always take off and expect you to run the heck out of your ski to jump two waves from them.


I take that back, some guy made the best waves I have ever jumped with a jet boat the other day. He looked like he was riding a wheelie on it!

Surf is the ultimate proving grounds for the X2, they fly so nice and you have so much stability and control during re-entry. As much as I really want a Superjet also, I am spending all my time and energy working to kick it like Legdragger.

Get a stock rideplate and cut a large D in the back, it will turn much better out in the surf, it also helps keep the nose up.

What do you guys think of the ocean pro finned ride plate? I am running a mariner now but also have the OP plate.

finned rideplates arent forgiving. they track too good and they dont let the ski slide enough. unless im planning on running a bouy course, i prefer the stocker plate.

I felt like getting on PWC Today and starting a "I have been banned because why?" thread....

Yeah I got into it with them because my edit thing timed out and All the work I put into copy and pasting my HTML code was lost. All they said was sorry... use the attachment feature.

The more I thought about it, I said no! They just want you to attach pics because then they own them! I am sure it is in that user agreement no one ever reads.

Just ticks me off that Rob and Bobbi worked so hard for years on that site only for SBT to come along and buy the site. They just wanted it for their own advertising.

SBT sucks! Always has!









Sorry to rant..... I need to go ride some surf too!
