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

really like that setup,addresses alot of the stuff that irradiated me about the b1 and put me mainly on a sj, I always thought about cutting out the footwells and lowering them to get the center of grav lower,but it just seemed like to much pita mainly cause it would be hard to smooth them into the back angles raising up on the rear deck where about half of my foot sits,cool idea to raise the seat and bars and keep the seat short,we stand with our back foot right in the middle of the deck behind the seat surfriding b1s here,you cold still do that with that type of seat. Id have no prob gettin cans and nacs over that and back anyway.
 
I for one can attest to the front rocker beeing too steep. I ride X2's up here in NH in the surf. X2's have a very steep front face. It can easily noseplow bad enough to instantly slow the ski down and cause cavitation. My first hull mod I lengthened the nose 2 inches to streach out that steep face. Worked well but I had this idea of going shorter and choping the steep face out on my next build. With the nose shorter and the steep face cut mostly out its a whole new animal , not only in the surf but on flatwater it turns on a dime. Im no expert at riding by any means but this is a mod I wont go without. I've been looking at my blaster for many years and now with that last picture , Im doing it for sure.

The first two pictures are of my first mod hull with more of a V front to it and longer in the front. The rest are of my last mod hull I just finished before wavedaze.
