alright got some photos. With the the help of Tanner I was able to kinda complete this thing on thursday night. every thing went together very smooth and only took a few shims so that was awesome. lots of room in the hull to work aswell.

biggest issue was my pole bolt was slightly bent it seems and did not want to go past 2 threads into the bracket. we had to use a huge bar to have enough leverage to get it out of the RRP bracket off the Rickter and it was smoking on the way out... so i didnt want to just ram this bolt in a brand new bracket and mess it up. got a new bolt today and looks like a blowsion sping is going to take serious modifications to work so im just running the pole super tight so it slowly falls for the time being. also forgot that i was running the Cold-Fusion extended Rickter coupler so had to pull that off and replace it with a stock length one.

we ended up doing a lake test at perris which was funny since my Rickter never once got dropped into freshwater ever.... but was cool because i got to feel the hull handle without the caos of the in coming surf. thing thing turns so fast and has a ton of pop. tanner rode it and with out even trying on a crappy set up wake and landed on his ass with the ski was past 45* and the fr-2 would have never gotten that far. tanner thinks with a touch more brap it can flat water flip easily and we really thing off a boat wake it will go around. its fun to ride a ski and be able to haul ass all over again. it feels so solid. noticed really quick that my O-rings in my had we toast since my pisser looked like a squirt gun and my low end was super grumbly so all day today we traveled looking for a set and came up with nothing... was a total buzzkill i was mentally exhausted today. ended up just throwing the old rings back in and 1211'n them so hopefully they hold because I need to hit the big surf down here right now its killing me.

heres some pics.

cheers guys. so surfslam was over a week ago and i had a good time. i messed my ankle up again right off the bat so that sucks and my girlfriend and I's personal friend passed away on saturday so it kinda skrewed the moral up. I ended up getting 5th but i know i could have done better. i deff need a little more time to adjust in :):):):)ty surf conditions that were in oregon but i know with time ill be able to bolt on the right combo of things to make it work. alot of my problem was i was just surfriding like a :):):):):) because i didnt want to hurt my ankle. i rode monday and HAD A FREKIN BLAST! surf machine and did literally every trick in my book.... until my back cylinder lost compression.....wwwaaaaaaa. if i would have mad it to the final it would have happened then so kinda a weird deal.

my ski is now at blowsion getting a rebuild for havasu and pismo. hopefully soon ill have some money saved for what i really want under my hood... :)

heres some pics or norbert and i changing out the flat intake trackt to the convexed one and some pics from the event. next ride will be pismo. gotta give my kankle a break!
