Best STABLE wave jumper??

[sam@coastal]

I want something light and fun to throw around, but I dont want something as unstable as a waveblaster 1, i need something i can put a new rider on to mess around on, but I also want something i can take out and slam waves with.. are the 96 xp or hx's any more stable than the waveblasters? i just want something that can be ridden by a novice and not topple over sitting still. any suggestions?

waveraiders can be fun in surf and are stable to sit around on. plus they are cheap. look for a 760 motor or an 1100.

Novice + wave jumping= accident waiting to happen!
(Hopefully you will not hurt anyone else but yourself).

How much riding experience and what have you ridden so far?
What makes you say a B1 is "unstable"?

You can always get a big fat couch, as they ususally land pretty softly.

wave blaster II

x2

great surf boat

blaster II stable, easy to board, and accelerates quickly.

97 to 99 GP 1200 is the best wave jumping couch I have ever ridden. I sold one about 5 years ago and I still want another one.

I do have a friends Blaster II in my back yard that I have ridden alot , although it is a great ski and fun it still can't compare to the gp 1200.

99 to 03 see-poo xpl,Ive riddin every ski in this list and more,none of them even come close to the handling and the air time of a xpl. The only thing it sucks at is droppin in on big waves,and bottom turns on steep waves,she is heavy in the front and will go straight under.only reason I ever got rid of mine as a backup

im gonna start by saying please dont do it.

but if i had to pick a sitdown for ocean riding it would be 96xp.....i think im gonna go shoot myself now:ugh:

XPDI hands down.

 

[QuickMick]

as many others said. Blaster II

I've had a B2, fun in the surf, but for jumping, nothing beat my XPL. I'm pretty sure Derm proved the XPL is awesome for big air!

Dont do it. No rookies in the surf.

haha, if someone told me not to do something because they thought that I couldn't, I would probably go out and do it just to prove them wrong, but thats just me. when i first got my fx1, i didnt ride a stand up for over 2 years. i first took out that fx in the surf....needless to say, i did not have fun...

blaster 2 or 3,if you need a seat!think you need to keep weight and size to a minimum,as for novice+big air,seen em airlifted to hospital with broken back's......don't go there!

 

[ski4]

the 96 xp is the best seated surf boat for stability and air. light and power a plenty

the hx can be good but is not easy for an amateur to board in the surf or get air on( the deep v hull likes to cut the wave. but with finesse can launch


come on guys
every single one of us was an amateur in the surf at one point

just when you do bring them out, make sure ou have laid out the law and don't let em hurt anyone

Blaster 2 and just add 175 psi compression head for better low end...your good to go high up :bananapowerslide:

Any seadoo with an x4 hull,that means 95- 96 xp,97-99spx,HX's and 97 and up XP's are not good wake jumpers regardless of what engine is in them,if you do constantly jump wakes with one you will fawk up a very expensive driveline that has a lot of expensive parts.Th bigger the boat the bigger the wakes will have to be,a x4 needs very little wake to launch to the moon.

You have... CRAB balls. :splatt:

XPDI hands down.
