I've been able to ride a few times a week for the last month and starting to feel comfortable with my ski's handling. It's really light in the nose and fun in the surf but alot of work to go stright fast. I tried that curved rideplate a few times but it had my nose riding too high and just wanted to jump so changed back to a cut stock. The -6 in. pole is working perfect for my stance. Last year using a -4 in. pole my front knee would get locked in the bars limiting motion and punishing my knee. Using a back footstrap has locked me in better than the front strap did. So far I'm liking the changes but I'm already thinking about the next mods.

Thanks flash-fx for the action shots:cheer:

got to ride some overhead clean surf this morning with good pitching lips that were good for stalling under & reentrys. Had a fun hail mary barrel ride I can't believe I came out of:woot: and a big reentry landing flat in front of the wave bottoming out my pole, knees & butt hard:woot: now my dumb pole is cracking on the bond line:banghead:

Got a email back quick from XFT saying it's a finish issue & not structural. He also told me not to worry that the pole is 100% warranteed & I'll get a new one if the crack increases.

I want to shorten the tail last year but instead went conservative route.

removed 3 1/2 in. off the tail:

Tubbies are good so more would be better???? That's what I'm going with.

Tore the glass off a surfboard & used the foam to extend the tubbies & reshape the enitre rail.

Wow, amazing... Can't wait to here how it rides..

I'm curious why you shortened it, when you do not like riding with the nose up (reason you said you didn't use the curved ride plate)? Shortened hulls will ride with the bow higher out of the water.
