    Will a hull builder discount a hull to help one of our own?

    I don't know how well this will be received, but I thought I would throw this out there. I came across this thread (http://www.x-h2o.com/index.php?threads/freestyle-factory-backie-chan.161902/) about one of our community members getting ripped off. I don't know SmittySX, we have never met, and...

    Another painting thread...

    Im trying to find a good site to buy paint from online. For some reason this task seems to be more difficult than I had imagined. Every site I go to lists paints but no way to buy them, and you have to visit a distributor between the hours of 9-5 (while im working) if you want to but it. Im...

    First time build - FX-1

    I just started tearing my fx-1 down. For now I just plan to reinforce, paint, defoam, and add footholds and drains. Nothing crazy, and no performance upgrades for now since the budget wont allow it. Just hull work. This will probably be a boring build for those watching, but I wanted to start a...

    Trying to find a specific tie down...

    A friend of mine had a tie down strap I cant seem to find. He just got rid of his skis and doesn't remember where they got them because they had the straps for 10+ years. Its basically just a metal pin that goes through the eye (not that cheap plastic atlantis crap) and has a strap connected to...

    Coolest wraps/paint schemes

    I thought I would start a thread for people to post pics of their favorite wraps/paint schemes. It might provide some inspiration to people looking to change things up a bit color wise. I could use some inspiration myself :)
