Super Jet Which ride plate for 180lb lake rider?

[andrewspoke]

Seems last attempt to post this question didn't work so I will try again. I just bought a stock 07 superjet and it porpoises a lot. I weigh 180 lbs and do flatwater riding exclusively. I am not looking to race, just want to have fun on the lake without all the porpoising. Anybody have a recommendation on which ride plate I should get?

Thanks

how much time do you have on the ski, throttle control and practice.

Stock plate is fine. Practice practice practice.

yeah there is alot to be said for practice...you should be able to ride it with the stocker no problem with out porpoising. A good intake grate though helps wonders if you don't already have one also shortening the pole helps get your body weight more forward. With that said though, I have been using a riva groovy plate and find it is a nice fit for my riding style. Which is mainly just ripping around, chasing boat wakes and wave jumping in the rough stuff.

I haven't been riding long and I was having the same issue. I truer watching some of the real good riders foot placement but since everyone was a bit different, that didn't work. So it ended up just taking practice. I am still dialing it in but for the most part about 6 rides in, constantly changing stances I have pretty well figured out how to stand to make the ski do what I want.
