Where are the footholds?

 

[Mile9c1]

He's using straps I think (read the first post).

 

[Freestyleriverrat]

I did? I see he got rid of them........but don't really know why. O-well, It must be a surf riding thing I just don't understand

Here's my ski after the Daytona ride. At that point I had prop, intake, cut stock rideplate, pro-tec trim(up all the time), footholds,front strap, straight bars, -4 handle pole, -1 turn plate, tubbies,bilges & scupper.

It's a surf riding thing:biggrin: I tried footholds but they did'nt work for me.

I drilled and mounted the pole bracket and painted the hood. I rushed thru it and have many runs to sand out.

stay tuned...

I put off a bunch of things to get home and fondle parts. I painted the hood in the dark and have some runs to buff out. Can't wait to get er wet:biggthumpup:

After feeling the difference with a cut rideplate and tubbies I started having ideas of other hull shapes. The tubbies make the nose wider and make a big difference on trun in. I thought a norrow tail would make it come out of the turn quicker. The top on the SJ is wider than the bottom so I started there. Most of my riding is slow carving S turns and not concerned about how it handles at speed.

This is one of my new favorite skis. I love all the things you have done with this ski, some different thinking going on. :biggthumpup: I know what you are talking about with the footholds I love my right one but not my left one.:bigeyes: Im thinking about a strap or front foot hold myself. I hope to see this ski in person someday. Do you ever ride at corsons inlet?

Finally made it out today. First run I ran for a couple minutes, forgot hose clamp on cooling to pump, and after that poped off it ran dry until it overheated:banghead: Ran to a friends and leached some tools & clamp(thanks jd) & back to the beach. Got to ride enough to get a feel for it but had some fuel starvation problems. So far it's a handfull. First couple of blasts it just wanted porpoise & pop out of the water. Started to figure where my weight needs to be and realize my straps need to move forward. With the shaping and the curved rideplate it really brings the nose up and makes it loose in the tail. The short pole works with my stance good. I like to ride with my pole light in my fingers and down around my knees. Befor I could only get so low until my knee would hit the bars. The back strap is working for me. The 1 tiny reentry I did I sucked my tail up and came in straight up & down. I'll need to get used to my back foot staying glued.

Northfield is outside Margate. I usually ride at Brigantine but sometimes go out at Ocean City north end.

Thanks for the props:Banane01: I've only ridden corsons once. Post a message when you're ridding and I'll try and come out. I usually ride either early or late in the day
