Has anyone ordered one of the rickter Ninja's? I know of one headed across the pond here, anyone else? The pump tunnel has been re-worked, an the hull is capable of holding a 160 mag. Plus they're supposed to actually be lightweigt hulls. Just wondering if anyone has one on order.

looking for some help to see what you Rickter guys are running.
I ride only in the surf. I really like to ride surf style with one foot in front of the other. The problem is my front foot has nothing to hold it in place, my back is the foothold on my rickter. Are you running any type of foot holder up front like pancake petes or any type of footstrap up front or do you not feel a need? Having a tough time deciding which way to go for a guy who rides all ocean?
Thanks
Peter

Xfs platform, pump tunnel has been re-designed, hull modified to accept a 160 mag, an they're supposed to be lightweight competition hulls.

And they are invisible and you can hire them to kill people. Ever seen a ninja parade? Me neither.

When I had mine I had my foot side ways ish in the rear foot hold and ran a Tomski front foot hold for my front foot. Once I figured out where my front foot was usually at, I ended up transitioning to a front strap and a rear strap on my new ski. I was still able to do the same stuff with the front foot hold that I can with strap but I feel like the straps hold me in better. It's just personal preference.
If I was unsure where I would want a front foot strap I would go with a front foot hold first.

Those ninjas are not even advertised anywhere... wonder what's the cost over a "normal" glass XFS....

Super excited to be able to post in this thread.... T-minus 1 week till my build kicks off. I have a box of parts and hull waiting for my undivided attention.
This thread has been very helpful with things to watch for... and of course Skinny.

Heads up on motor mount rails. Buddy just finished his XFS. The bolts that hold the rails down did not come with any lock tight. He never pulled them. Check them or do what we just did. Had to pull everything back out. He still needed to dress up the wiring so took care of that.
Long ride plate on a FR-2. It is definitely long. I can say after one ride I am a fan for surf riding. I will see how it handles in bigger surf but I was able to get more on my back foot to power thru the turns without the nose trying to come up. I am 6'7" so it might be more then normal people need. When I first saw it i thought it was way to long but glad I kept it. It also makes the commute out to the ride spot easier in the messy chop.

so whats up with the dent in XFS hulls where the midshaft housing goes - how come it was designed like that ( to apparently cause cavitation issues)? - can this be fixed with with some sort of a sealant or only curable with spacer? If it is not surfacing well to the firewall what cuases it to cavitate (where does the air/ water go / come to)?
Strangely overlooked matter by the builder or maybe this was fixed with latest models??
