Ride Plates on '07 SuperJet

[canuck]

Hey,
I bought a SuperJet with a Jet dynamics ride plate and considering moving back to stock or getting a free ride Procraftracing ride plate instead.
Any thoughts, just interested in freestyle. What should I expect from a ride perspective, will the stock plate have no grip at all?

Cheers.

when you get on the gas, the bow will rise. when you let off the gas the nose will fall. To me it feels like it falls off plane on corner entry (stock). IMO a little extra length really helps the overall ride characteristic for general use. The Jet Dynamics should work pretty good. Do you have the std. length JD or the super long one?

Adding hull area at the rear will make the ski plane faster and reduce porpoising. It also makes it harder to hop out of the water. The best plate or hull length depends on your size and riding style.. Short hulls with a lot of power are fun but more difficult to keep from porpoising at high speed.

Longer ride plate would not be ideal for freestyle type riding. I'd recommend stock flush cut or d cut for freestyle.

Not sure, how can I tell which one I have, I guess just measuring them and checking Jet Dynamics

All I do is freestyle riding. High speed runs is not what I am looking for, ease of tricks, tail slides, sink rear and turn in circles (not sure what that trick is called), air off waves and boat wakes, submarines etc. is what I bought the ski for.

Post a pic of the ride plate sticking out the back and we can tell you.

take a picture of it mounted on the ski.

I would call that general recreational riding. I'm sure what you have is fine. The short plates and D-cut will be beneficial riding up and down wave faces in the surf and really have no place on flat water. All they are going to do is sacrifice ride quality. They will not make you jump any higher or further.
