So I finally got my first ride on this thing and here are a few of my thoughts coming from 2 different SJ's.
One concern I always had about going aftermarket was not being able to "ride" the ski. As much as I like jumping waves and chasing boats I also like to ride WOT at times, carve, and just cruise. We have all seen the videos of these things flipping, rolling, and jumping 20 feet in the air which is awesome. I do plan to try some more in the surf this season and hopefully I get enough tray time in to get the stones to go for it. With that being said, I am Super impressed with how "rideable" this hull is. It feels super stable, light, and solid. My worries about not being able to ride at high speeds was gone after about 10 minutes on it. Also, I was worried about getting face splash at higher speeds and that concern is now gone as well. The 735 seems to have real nice power in this hull and I never knew how much I would like a front foothold. I can't wait to get this thing in some waves and try to learn some new things. I know I only rode this ski for about an hour, but I don't see ever wanting anything different anymore.
