Nose Modification "rocker" Thread.... making a sj a better surf ski.....

Well, here mine is. I did the sides too, need all the lift I can. -6 on the RN pole makes it pretty nose heavy IMO. Besides I hit the bottom of Packery Channel (at the end of the jetties!!!!!) in a squarenose stab, smashing my face and cracking the nose. It was awesome, OK air, and entered the water like an Olympic diver. Felt something hit my face and came up to discover blood everywhere dripping out my helmet.

Found a boat making place that sold me some AXE

I took it out and my ski for testing and it was acting funny, saw zero exhaust leaks, and spend 3 hours tuning carbs. Damn B pipe coupler. I'm 100% sure B pipes are THE BEST, The fact they make something that fits that bad and holds its value that well says alot. I was about to cut my ski in 2 and just "glass it in". LMAO

BTW I still gotta trim the sideburns to match on each side and we'll be square. I just threw some on there and sliced away. Was like 15 minute job.

Lots of nice builds there. Here is the flatdeck I built for my brother. Rockered nose with a splash rail/lip. Works great.
