^^^ That and the footholds you guys use to stay locked in seem super invasive to the tray. Obviously they're needed but I would hate riding a Pro ski.

I'd say it depends on the style of riding. In flatwater you won't see it spiral like a football as often as surf riders. Seen waveblaster785 do about 10,000 of the exact style you like in person. He teaches me too. But you need a long smooth fast run to the wake to do it.

I think there's a huge difference between average joe's bob with a dasa 865 and Jace's Xscream ski he has for sale right now.

There are plenty of average joes with DASA 1100s or 1200s in flatwater skis. This site as a whole though seems to think you can buy the best newest and greatest part and just slap it on without tuning. That was where my comment was directed.

Though I'll highly doubt anyone in flatwater at the pro level is running stock stroke anything.

You'd be surprised, just riding a Pro level ski is harder than one would think.
I've put a number of people on my ski who have been riding for many many years, half can hardly get up and the rest turn right back around and give it back to me.
The people riding make it look easy. Work with the ski, not against it.

That is why I dont hop on Tricky's or Peters DVX's...... Way more power than I am use to. I am not comfortable on the short pole setups either.

I just finished reading this thread, and wanted to point out that it was very productive. A legitimate question was asked, several accurate answers followed, nothing stupid was said, and it finished with someone offering others to ride his pro level ski. LOL Bravo gents. I think I might shed a tear.

When I watch clips of pro level riding, most of what they consider a "barrel roll" is more of what I would consider a "360" spin style move. It's not quite a flat spin 360 because there is a bit of inversion to it, but not quite a true barrel roll where the ski passes totally over the rider. Is there any reason behind this? Not bashing pro level riding, just curious.

The way the 'pro's' barrel roll is a barrel roll... what you are considering a true barrel roll is actually a corkscrew or we in Australia call it a spice twirl (in flying an aileron roll). Usually a spice twirl or corkscrew is done by newer riders who are doing their rolls by looking behind their leading shoulder rather than over the front of their ski inwards of the roll. A lot of blaster riders do this in the surf.

Having said that, as stated above, some hulls roll flatter than others but mostly I've found that the lighter the hull, the flatter the roll will be.

This me rolling a 2015 rickter xfs

The DVX spins much flatter than a rickter which can be seen at 0:13 and 0:40 in this vid.


And Lee's spice twirl or corkscrew style roll in his first trick in this video.
