I'm running a 9/15 with my 771. tried an 11/17 first and it was too much. Wouldn't let the motor spool up enough.

I have an 11/17 hooker in my freak with a Dasa 850 with setback mag, it hits nice!

Good to know thanks...does your setup have enough power to 180 hop into a flip ? just wondering.
FYI: I could never figure this one out even with a 1l motor, TL, 148 pump. Not with the Freak anyways. Maybe I'm dumb though. That's the most likely cause.

Lol Your right, It's does not seem to be an easy flip....I can only get the nose to go in at an angle.
Almost got it once on Bud's KDX 900 with 148 set back at FW Friday Daytona.

Agreed on the Superfreaks not flipping so easy compared to those. Not from personal experience, just what I've scavenged from a local rider.

Hmmm didn't know that....well guess I better cut her shorter if I want 180 hop flips. (going to garage to look for cutting tools now ). : )

Wonder if it's the wider backend compared to kdx (I'm told) making Freak more stable ? wider more drag ?

I think you kinda got the idea. Freak backends are wwwwwideeeee. Yes very stable. I don't think it has much to do with drag as opposed to trying to dig that backend into the water to ramp out a flip. I've only rode a freak a bit, but I know two owners who agree. Freaks like to float on the surface. A freak is harder to dig that back end into the water to get the launch it needs compared to other hulls. It can flip, but takes a bit more power than those that can dig in a bit better.

how much wider is the freak in the rear than some others mentioned here,that extra 45 degree bond rail drop prolly doesnt help either,Id like to ride one with the rail trimed up to see how well it would lean and rail corners

Got that right they float so well and it makes it really easy to ride and maintain balance after tricks....love this hull.
Good point on the rails they grab some, I did not notice the Bob gen 2 was any easier to flip from a 180 hop.

Setup wake flips are your best bet. Hop flips require considerably more power. I had trouble hop flipping my freak with an 1100, but really didn't have it figured out either. I'm not a great rider, but I can slide, hop, or wake flip my KDX. Same rules still apply. Wake flips are easiest flip wise, but require skill and timing to execute.

I agree, need to stop practicing hop flips and go for it on set up wakes.
