I'll be adding the info later today. The top deck is being moulded as we speak, so its not exactly in the best form for pictures, but we should see some pictures soon..

 

[DK-Freestyle]

Just posted some info, hopefully it'll hold you guys over until the top deck of our plug is finished with the moulding.

[h=2]Changes from Gen2 to Gen3[/h]

All changes have been tested on a prototype hull before finalizing the design.
​

---

Top Deck: Added body line on the nose Added body lines on the hood Integrated G3 Logo in the handle pole area Tray foot hold area is indented even more All new Standard Graphic Kit Design Reinforced handle pole bracket area design ​

Bottom Deck: Revised Bulge to give more pop when launching for aerial tricks Larger Intake to offer the pump more water for quick, consecutive flips Integrated Splash Guard to help keep unwanted water splash away from you Widened Pump Tunnel makes removing & installing the pump easier Tapered & Rounded rails help to make landings much more stable Angled tubbies for more aggressive handling Ramped tray gives your hull a built in kick tail to help keep you in the tray Modified Keel​

hope see pics soon

Sounds pretty sweet D! Is that going to be sold strictly as a flatwater ski or will you guys make surf versions of that as well? And any idea on weight? Estimate?

Thanks for the info and your time. Just another benefit of workin with the Ski Clinic......constant info and feedback

 

[DK-Freestyle]

Its basically an updated version of the Gen2. Gen2 was used in surf by many, Gen3 should be the same. As far as weight, since it's Carbon Fiber only, we're expecting approx 75lbs for our production units.

Is that with hood?

 

[raytherace]

Is that with hood?

yes

 

[chriselmore_1]

How come only carbon?

 

[XJCrawler]

How come only carbon?

Because its there pro series hull

 

[chriselmore_1]

have too check one out when I come pick up that hitch hauler d

 

[DK-Freestyle]

Carbon Fiber only because we wanted the Gen3 to be more about Competition. The Gen3 Carbon hull is priced exactly the same as a Gen2 Carbon Hull, so the price hasn't been bumped up.

75lbs with the hood is correct

We popped the top deck mould yesterday, if they pull off the flanges from the plug, I may be able to get some pictures.

Chris - If you come by the shop, we'll give you a tour of the operation. Gen3, Gen2, moulds, lay up process, fiberglass shop, etc..

WOW, lots of changes, so bigger on the boob job? I often wondered how that feels on landing bottom side nose down.

 

[DK-Freestyle]

Bulge has been slightly reduced, but we mainly changed the shape of it. Not sure exactly how, something about we relocated it on the hull, and brought it down a bit. As far as landings, its not bad at all. Helps with nosing in flips, instead of falling to the side, it kind of helps make it more smooth for landing.
