Rocker SJ help????!!!!

[SJdippin]

So it looks like there are multiple ways of going about this. Just suck it up and buy the carter b kit. I've seen plenty of the relief cut jobs done and look great, and I read a thread where the guy used all thread right through the middle of the nose and a heat gun to slowly make the original nose to slowly crank it to his desired rocker location. My question is what do you think is the best option to use as far as strength and obviously weight. I'd like to take about 4 Inches off the front.

I did the carter b nose kit last year and added a splash guard, best mod you could do for a sj by far I'm so happy with how it rides in the surf . Takes it from a thing made for lakes that nose dives going down a wave into a ski that feels made for waves ( I also took 75mm off the back and widened the tray 150mm)

Nice looks solid man, what tubbies are those or did you make them?

Destroyers they needed about 3-4 inches cut off the front and some shaping to fit the nose but work good

I did the carter kit but If I were to do mine again I would just stand the ski on its nose and fill with foam and lay glass over the foam. By doing it this way you save a tone of $$ and can also relocate the handlepole bracket. See signature link for how I built mine

I went this route, mainly bc my ski had tubbies on it and using carterb kit would require removing them, or cutting the kits up.

Cut nose off, stack in pink board, fill voids with expanding foam. Sand, sand, fill voids, sand, glass with t3 resins from bobby at trinity, biax and s glass. Cure at exactly 75 degrees, low humidity. Remove pink boards, sand out remaining foam, glass a bit more from the inside, cure at 75 degrees.

At first it seems like a daunting task, but take it a day at a time and go Fro it.

Thanks for the input guys, I like that idea a lot better. I can easily make it whatever shape I would like.

It looks pretty dang good.. I'm just worried about void spaces in those relief cuts and adding weight to have to fill them. Do you have a hull and hood weight when all is said and done?

i havnt finished yet and i ride 100% surf so weigth is strength and im not worried ,i filled the cuts with thickened epoxy and couple layers of glass both sides of hull, hull is a squrenose (to fill them wouldnt weigh much at all carter-b would probley be ligther?)

Ok yeah mine would be 50/50 so I'd like a little less weight. That way seems to be the easiest from a newbs standpoint but I also would like to move pole forward a bit. But I'm yet to find the ski I need to do the build anyways. So I have some time to think about it
