Thanks, it got painted pink. I'll go into more details and you can check out the pics.
Ok well it was going to go all black but at the last minute I said something that got me into trouble. I told skibums4life that if he could find pink in our paint cabinets I would paint it pink. Well he owned me becuase after going to grab something he had found white and red. With the help of my older brother they began to mix them together and came up with barbie pink. To be honest I completely hated it at first but after working on it for the past 3 days nonstop it's grown on me quite a bit.
XFT has two new style footholds out but I just wanted to go with the classic, I love having my foot locked in. After using a similar style hold all last season I couldn't see myself going back to a normal hold or even REVs.
Pics are coming very shortly.

Well I'll mainly let the pictures do the talking for me but here are a little details of the paintjob. Yes I wanted to use black emerald metallic but I stuck behind my word so I had to paint it pink. To make it stick out even more we added a pearl effect to the pink but honestly I can't even notice it, guess I'll have to wait for a sunny day. As far as the clearcoat goes, in the first coat I added some metal flake just to make this thing look even more gay than it already is. After that I added three more coats of clear and I must say I was impressed with the final product.

I don't know what you're talking about :biggthumpup: They're actually added flotation areas that I thought would be useful in the long run :bsflag:

LOVE it......puzzy pink with sparkles!
You've sure done a fine job of making chicken salad outta chicken schit!
I must be honest, I didn't think you would make it this far on the ressurection of that hull. I rode with Dan in Beaufort last year and I thought that thing was gonna end up in a dumpster.
Sweet job...

Yes it is, and I love it with my TLR 48. I just rode this thing a couple hours ago and man does it rip. Rolls are going to be a little easier on flatwater.

I'd ride a pink ski too if it had that much carbon fiber. Everybody that laughs at the color is jealous there ride doesn't have that much C/F. Nice build.

Ha! You should paint the handlepole into a rainbow! It will be easy to find you at a freeride!

Well if the xmetal handlepole ever arrives it will be black, and yes part of the reason for painting it pink was so the ski stuck out. Now everyone must think I'm a fag, thank god my close female "friend" is going to Daytona with me. I'll probably just say that it's her jetski.

Much respect for living up to your bet.
I did that once with a 12 gauge nipple piercing. It was NOT sensual, it hurt like hell.
