Ok I just dont get why Rickter would make the tray so narrow. With your feet in the foot holds you are at a stock SJ tray width. And foot holds on any other ski get your feet wider.
When looking at the brackets there is a ton of dead space behind them.
So a few cuts and nut serts from the inside you gain over 3 inches of total width.
Straight line cut
Heat and pull just the turf up
Draw center lines
Drill
Nut sert and tighten down
Re glue turf
Now don't get me wrong it was hard to cut into these $$$ holds but this is just somthing I had to do. Who wouldn't want a wider stance.

Get ready to see it at Daytona.

Intake Grate
With my FR-2 hull turning up in a couple of weeks, I managed to rip the Intake grate, pump shoe and pump clean out of my SJ. Luckly the cooling line and steering cable saved the pump but the intake grate and pump shoe where lost to the ocean! What intake grate are people using for surf riding. Also has anyone used a D cut ride plate on a Rickter???

We just cut a fr2 up. You can save 20 pounds in the tray with all the extra glass
so then it weighs 320 instead of 340? damn those things are tanks

Ya they are built like a tank. But up can drop the thing off a cliff and it's still good.

Anyone tried the different FS2/FR2 rideplates? I am running the small/short plate now and thinking about trying the medium one to see if it keeps the nose down a little more in the surf. Looking for any feedback from someone who has tried any of the MED or LONG plates.
Thanks.

Where is all the Rickter builds? Any new skis rolling out this season?

No one has tried one of these? I need to keep the nose down more I am 6'7" and if i get out of position the nose shoots for the sky, tail stands in the surf are not really a cool trick. I will be shorting my pole but I think a longer plate will be a big help just don't want to spend that kind of money if it ruins what I like about the ride now.

Don't want to spend that kind of money if it is going to ruin what I like about the ride. I am going to shorten my pole first but I think doing both might be the trick.
