SN superjet or Fx-1?

[Nighthawk777]

Hey guys, I am a new rider (have never been on a stand up, but have spent most my life on the lake, and on mx bikes), but I tend to pick up things quickly. Should I get an fx-1 or a SN SJ? Would the Fx-1 be too hard to learn on?

Thanks

Fx1 may be a little harder to learn on but I wouldn't worry about it coming from a Mx background. I would take a fx1 hands down to a Sn!

Alright cool. Thanks

Best to try and ride one of each first to be honest some love fx1s some hate them it's all personal preference and everyone's advice will be different.....same as asking about any am hull.

Fx1 it will make you a better rider in the end.

Sn sj, unless you spend the time and put a 144in the fx1

Youll pay twice as much for a FX-1 than a square, just sayin...if money is a factor.

Not totaly true...depends on the area. A Sn and fx1 in Washington both go for 1500-2500 depending on condition

Planning to ride surf or flat? Makes a big difference.

Flat and boat chasing

Then between the 2, I'd go for the FX1. I've had them all, and thought the SN got a little boring on flatwater. It's really stable, but feels heavy. Doesn't pop or jump as well. The fx1 is fun because it's a challenge, nimble, feels light.

In surf if go SN all the way, for stability. Good way to learn.

A RN is more balanced, like a blend of the SN and FX1

Which is better for getting through chop?

The square will plow through the chop better, but the FX-1 will be a lot more fun in the long run. They are lighter and easier to toss around for tricks. I've never rode a ski that was easier to nose stab than an FX-1.

Getting through chop or enjoying riding through it? SN will get through chop easier, the FX1 will get through it with more effort on your part, and will be more fun doing it.

The first Jet ski i ever rode was my cousins FX-1 a couple years ago. in canada had no clue about the sport.

anyways i took like 20 falls before i could turn around on. it was nuts hard. and i come from a moto and wake background. but got a concave ride plate for the fx-1 and not its way more stable. and rails chop much better.

I ended buying a new 13 superjet (witch felt like a boat compared to the fx) cause my cousin wont let go of his fx1 and none forsale here. but i still wish i had the fx1 tho. SOOO much fun

Squirly is the word that defines the fx1. well at first.
