It's fun:biggthumpup:
It's super loose but really stable down the line. I was using hardly any steering inputs to turn but need to learn to bury the rail on hard faster turns. I did have the pump losing traction when laying into a hard turn but I can learn to work with it. It rides with the nose lower than last year & the tail floats higher. I can tell because my exaust is out of water more & louder. Last year it was really light in the nose & for airs & reentrys I really had to throw my weight forward. The few I did yesterday were effortless. It turns quicker, handles better in the steep stuff & more stable. It does things it would'nt befor:woot: I get some vid soon:biggthumpup:

As the sun quickly disappeared behind the casino, Joe B took to the front side for a little shred session. With no surfers or fishermen, he had it all to himself....
The small surf sure was fun! More testing in progress. :brap:

Dude, the red mouth on that boat looks amazing in the surf.
I was going to paint my boat primer beige too.
I love your ski, nice work!

Thanks for posting the pics pop-pop:biggthumpup: I've got some ideas after getting a feel my wider rails & it's nice to see it in action:biggthumpup:
I thought it looked like a foot plant on the lip. It was'nt planed. That was my first ride with my tiny battery and it made the nose lighter yet & I was doing some flailling trying to get the nose down. It be cool if I were kicking out the other side & maybe grabing the tail:biggthumpup:

keep the pics and info comming... I have really thought a lot about your modifications and the logic is right on... All boards you see made for freestyle are short and fat.. No matter what sport. windsurfing, surfing, kiting, snowboarding and all wake sports... I really think you are on to something...

I ordered all my stuff thru their web site. I'm not using the ride plate... If you want it make an offer. Also you might want to try a 4 lbs. battery. I just put one in my boat & that's the best weight savings bang for the buck there.

That's what I was thinking:cool2: I'm getting a feel what it can do and I'm lovin' it:Banane01: On the wave I'm going through steep transitions weight forward & on the gas where on a normal ski I'd be off the gas with my ass hanging off the back & still be nosediving. I've learned how to make it go fast when needed but it's a handfull & there's no relaxing. Flat water I can carve turns all day draging my chin & sholder. I'm looking for a good size hollow day to see how deep in the pocket I can hang:biggrin:
