Nice looking setup, and it should be good as a bouy runner, I doubt however it will work as a freeride ski unless you come up with something else for the flame arrestor setup. Almost all of us here that run x2's in the surf will concure that that is the biggest single problem we face everytime we ride, it cost Legdragger a crank at Daytona last week after bending a rod. Time to get creative with a snorkle or something to get the f/a's protected.
