Maybe I'm behind the times... but I just saw this today. I've seen crazy plates like this before, but not "mass-produced."

Discuss amongst yourselves...

Like I said, I've seen these before, just never for sale. And yes, definitely a bank-breaker.

Who's Norbert?

I had a prototype of that plate for a while a few years back, it is definately a nice piece and the work was top notch. However, it doesn't work with a stock SJ steering nozzle or atleast it didn't at that time. It would work fine with a raider style nozzle that has the cable mount near mid stream, like the Virgin trim system, etc.

Pierre is running one on his new LightWeight hull, and seems to like it so far. I have not tired it yet. Lots of R&D in that plate.

i tried it it on sickerlings boat back in october. That thing is a backflip machine. I kinda had a hard time going in a straight line though

 

[D-Roc]

i would try it but i shortend my hull already and it wouldn't fit unless i started drilling new holes in it. Does it work on a hydrofoil type of design? anyone ever see these?

imagine we could use a foil to help unweigh our skis for bigger air on flatwater. surf riders wouldn't need it.

I see the price tag.

Hmm. Interesting. I think I'm gonna make one tonight. I have a ton of black glass and resin left over.

I rode a Lightweight hull w/ that plate... very strange feeling

btw - it's not designed by Blowsion, but Lightweight out of Germany

 

[MADMAT]

I would imagine it does not want to slide out AT ALL.

I think Jens had this on his lightweght.de boat at the 06 riot ride.
That dude had a killer boat.
