cause the stocker cracked to pieces
its worth a shot on the outer wears,wonder how much volume of air they would stop? and how much water pressure they could hold back? ever try filling a outerwear with water?
i dont think an outer wear will help an upside down ski at all.they repel splashed water pretty well but when dunked they dont stop much at all
if the pole is light enough and has floatation in it then the ski wont float upside down.it will right itself.i had this problem when i first got my conversion hood.i put a block of foam in between my hood and liner as big as i could fit.problem solved,the ski wont float upside down now,it always ends up upright even after being rolled and pounded in the surf(this has been tested extensively)
food for thought:my oold a/c pole was filled with foam.not sure if a/c used to do that or if someone added it but it worked
