Unfortunately: Cold front = Good waves No cold = Great babes Such a dichotomy...... Good Waves or Great Babes

Never thought about that other talent. Now that I think about it, Freestyle stunts might be cool to watch as well ;)

Cool, Just what I wanted to hear as I have to plan more for Saturdays as I usually close my business on Sun-Mondays. Sat it is!

breakdown as in packing up. Should have clarified. and not used the B word.

Thanks. Is Sunday just a breakdown day or if the weather is right, do things happen then?

I have never been to one of these, but looks like a way to see some incredible tallent! I only live a few hours away in Ft. Myers and unfortunately can only spare the time for a one day visit. I will just be a spectator this year. What is the best day to see the most action (wave) . I...

Hey all I finally finished the sponson install (it took forever)! Ironically, I think it may have been faster to start from scratch.lol. The sponsons weren’t an exact fit, were a little asymmetrical and without a backing I felt that I had to revise them to create a sound install. I used epoxy...

Just an update. I heeded everyones advice and carrera came to the rescue by selling me his sponsons. For others benefit, I will share the install once done. THANKS!

Everybody has had great advice, however, I would still advise whatever you choose learn to love it and if not (goes back to that attitude thing) , move on. I am doing something totally differently than what I went to school for (aerospace-airway science) . Even though what I do for a living...

Jhucke. If you haven't realized by now I do over complicate everything. :D Bigkuhuna, I will look over the entire thread when I have a little more time. It is interesting that they are mixing matte with epoxy. That is a no no with most brands matte. I think it was just a filler, but again...

I am considering Carrera's sponsons, but at a loss to how I would mount them securely. I wouldn't have any concerns if our skis were glass like the blasters and early raiders, but on smc??? Only ideas I am coming up with are 1. molding them, molding the flat of the ski, and creating a two pice...

Not the original poster, flightmandude, but 227 who has the photos of his bottom mods.

True, and in chop, it would prob be even more pronounced. Here is the thread that got me thinking DIY. 227 version is 2/3 down this 2rd page . I have never ridden with him and no idea if he is an authority in surf anyway and the post date was 10 years ago...

Big kuhuna you have some great points. It seems that most people are kind of guessing where they place these though. In a high speed straight line if one was not the same exactly as the other would prob not be as critical in a straight line. It might make turning one direction a little...

Carrera911, Interesting. I'm not sure I could ever get those to adhere to the hull right if they are just attached at the edges. I was thinking they would be more of a sandwich construction. Maybe I just assumed that most that were professionally made with two part molds and vacum bagging...

Yes, was not planning on using any software, 3d printing, or cnc, just old fashioned hand shaping. (thats part of the fun) . I just found 221'sugestion impelling that he liked his for surf. If I scuffed the surface enough, added some concave divits, and applied a layer of cloth on ski...

Not sure if that fully classifies as design advice. lI'm sure it's good advice non the less. lol. :) However, I think I could fabricate them (one off no mold) in the same time it takes to install the typical ones. It would most definately take a few extra hours sanding painting, but some...

Very tempting! When you say glass-on do you mean that they are contoured to the superjet hull? Which sponsons are they closest to in design. Are they more surf oriented or race oriented? Can I see a some photos of other angles including the backside?

When I say sponsons I am reffering to those things that rhyme with hubbies. Oh,heck, I'll just say it Tubbies. We call our superjets Jetskis not waverunners anyway! (Now you know I'm really old lol) I think I have searched all the threads I could possibly read on the topic, but before I dive...

Thanks, but would have you do the seals anyway. I'll hit you up when I have a list of everything for the ski I will end up needing. I think this weekend the ski gets pulled back apart and flipped so I can do some glass work for the handling followed by paint and graphics.
