not true scorny. it's in immaculate condition and everything is in tact. that picture just has a mariner hood on it. it's #348

From all my research the WS-AA hull is the recreational with a rounded nose and flat bottom, whereas the WS-AB had the V shaped nose and a concave bottom built for racing.

crap. then the one I have is a ws-aa.

youve had that thing on your mothers dryer for HOW LONG?!

and you still dont know what it is???

oh, my! think of all of her soggy granny-panties!

j/k.... we all know it was a front-loading olive-green dryer in a pic taken just yesteryear!

That is awesome man! Thank God someone took the time to invent that thing:Banane01:

I believe the guy's name was Clayton Jacobsen.



Seriously though, when this thread first started I wasn't that all interested. But you know the saying a picture is worth a thousand words? yeah I think that applies here... Or an almost brand new never used 400 Kawie is worth 15k! That ski is where it all started. Even the couchers should show some respect!

Definitely the name of a shredder! He was probably the chit!

 

[dbrutherford]

I guess he was a motocrosser. Brap! He invented it, Kawie manufactured/perfected it.

And didn't want to give him the proceeds.
After which Jacobson sued Kawi.

Clayton Jacobsen Jr.(son of Clayton Jacosen Sr. the inventor) lives about 25 miles from here down on the Parker stip(CO river) and he has a house on the river. I go down there and ski 4-5 times a year and hang out and party. He's a real cool dude to ride and hang out with.

Well, the last time I was down there I asked where his Dad was living and he said over in Santa Barbara area. We were thinking it would be cool to get a hold of him and take some pictures with him/us with the ski. Some autographs would be sweet too, but it looks like were running out of time since the ski is going to Nebraska next week.
Oh well, cool thought though.

BTW - Madmat, your comments crack me up most of the time! :biggrin:

[SUPERJET-113]

Well, Kawasaki is going to look at it next week and make their offer. It will all be decided on that.

Here it is, all wrapped and ready for the ride home.resent:

Moonie and Mick told me about this ski over dinner last. Holy Shight! Very cool. Amazing find.

 

[wsuwrhr]

I only wish I could have something like that to put on top of my dryer!

I could think of a couple better things to set on the dryer.
