Custom/Hybrid Superfreak Surgery; Nip & Tuck to make a -4.3

[RMBC Freeride]

I bought this back in october in Pismo from Tem. Been busy all winter and haven't had time until now to get going on it. So this weekend I got out the scalpel! Going from full length down to -4.3.



More to come as I make progress...

Made me some freaky rails to put on my Octane. Oh, and I hear that pre-fab reinforcement panels for under the rails are gonna be hotter than tubbies!

Yup! You maybe the first to do that radical of a mod to a superfreak hull already built.

It's not as bad as it looks... Starting to put pieces back together now.



Chris, I might borrow your rear-extended foothold idea. How did those work for you?

[Waveblaster785]

I've been thinking of doing this to mine as well....hmmm

Yeah, planning on having it ready... but not sure if I'll be able to go. :frown:

 

[McDog]

Great job! If you're not willing to cut into to get it the way you want it then you don't deserve it IMO.

 

[RMBC Freeride]

Both sides tacked back together. Now time for some carbon layup.

Nice! haha.
Are the superfreaks not foam filled in the tray area? or have you removed it?
Are this a badass hul you are shortning or the old style hull?
How thick are the carbon layup, from the pieces you cut out? The reason im asking, is that im waiting on a full carbon Lenzi SJ style hull -3" and im thinking about ahortning that allso
Good work

 

[Matt_E]

There is no foam in the Freaks.

 

[Christian_83]

Okai, so if the hood pops off in the surf, its bye bye freak? Are the bottom deck tray aerea "reinforced" acrorss the hull (port to starboard) to strenghen the tray or completely hollow?

 

[Matt_E]

There are stringers and three sealed air chambers. If your hood pops off in the surf, the ski will float as good, if not better, as any other foamed ski.

 

[Christian_83]

okai, very nice. What are stringers ?
