I'll be riding in the ocean for the first time, and plan on using my carbon fiber hull. Anyone have any issues with getting shocked that I should be aware of?
salt water vs. carbon. shock?

huh?
Depends on who built the hull. Some people lay up carbon to conduct so be very very careful. when you drop it in the water dont be touching it. You may need a crane just to be safe. Dont forget your harness net- sucks when you leave it in the garage, always pisses me off.

Yeah and wear a bubble wrap suit and say ZOLTAN every now and again while making a Z shape with your hands by touching your thumb tips.:clown:

I don't think you can run those in salt water.:fart:

don't listen to those goof balls, they don't know what they are talking about. u see the conductivity of your hull is based on the water you r in and the concentration of saline. for example if here in florida on the east coast we are accustomed to sodium chloride concentration of about 3000 ppm. if you run a current through a cubic foot of that you should be able to create about 0.8319 giggawatts. your carbon hull should amplify that current, (just because it is carbon) by about 1.37 dpending on the actual integrity of the hull.
with that kinda of current make sure not to forget to install ur flux capacitor:bad3:

i resent that!
i've been stuffing aluminum foil down my shorts for all these years for you to now tell me it was pointless?:spankme:

I have tried the above mentioned aluminum foil as well as flux capacitors and found them to be rather ineffective! Since our Central Florida beaches are regrettably the "shark capital" of the world some of us have taken to wearing protective suits made of chain mail. A bit pricey; but if you attach a bonding wire from the suit via a quick disconnect to the handle bar -which of course must have at least a 10 ga wire connected to engine ground- I think you would be safe from electrical shock while in salt water. However, even this Faraday cage approach is no panacea for direct lightening strikes!!!!! Let me know if you should have further concerns.
