Going to be putting in my 2nd cable in soon. Don't think i even made it 6 months before it was useless. I have an X-metal trim setup. I ride in the surf. Any tips you have found that make these last longer? The main problem i see is that it is a stainless cable but the wrapping is normal steel...

Here's a sequence pic of a backy CarterB got me doing. Thanks CB!

The title is 227s idea but I have always agreed with this statement. Surf skis get jacked so making them pretty is futile. Post up some pics of your battle boat!

It was an interesting weekend at Hugo. Went out Friday after work, rode in some beautiful surf, and sank the ski once again. Getting it started in the dark and riding to burn off the water is a scary thing at night. Anyway back to the boaters. Sat we are heading out to the break and I...

After riding with the ffh a few times I thought it was a little rough on my foot (haven't turfed yet). Also this one is for a right foot forward and I ride goofy. I was looking at it last ride and thought the top of it looks more anatomically correct than the bottom of it does. So last night...

I put on the wdk short plate and xmetal straight bars and now have to mod the chinpad. I was thinking maybe move the mounting brackets back a half inch or so? That way i don't have to cut into that sexy glass job. Seems like it will work but then will have the bolts showing through turf...oh...

I just wanted to give a shout of to Tem for letting me do about 10 backflips on his ski yesterday. That hull is amazing! Lightest and strongest thing I have ever rode. It backflips so easily since it has the rocker built into the back. I know what a backie is supposed to feel like now and it...

This edition of Wet Racer has a bunch of pics and name mentions of us florida boys! Jim (thrillhill) doing a backie, Nick (Yamaslut) doing a roll, and backie, Lucas (lucampits) doing a backy, Chris (jetmaniac) doing a big backie and a surf pose, Tanner (tkmww) doing a roll (me). I don't know...

I was towing a buddy in and I couldn't get over 10-15 mph. I would gun it and the ski just wouldn't get up and go. Does that sound like a cavitation issue? I am running a 13-15 concord solas setback. I have a stock pump, 760 62t big bore setup. Is that the right prop? Any ideas of what to...

Where is your fav place in FL and why? I live close to Hugo so that gets my vote. Lots of riders have said the same thing about it. Plus, you can drive on the beach which is nice.

Any tips for installing this thing? Turfing tips? Did you guys put padding on the bottom before turfing? Should it be really tight or just enough to hold your foot under it? Im thinking a layer of padding then turf so it won't kill the top of my foot. Thinking of putting the screws at 12...

I did a refoam with polystyrene but was wondering if there is something I can use to fill in the voids that it has. Small voids add up to lots of water.

I noticed that some water is coming out of the boweye in the back. I put some 5200 and it seems to have sealed it well. Will that work or do i need to actually put some fiberglass there?

Is it supposed to be flush with the plastic cover that protects the on and reserve pickups? Or should the hose lay along the bottom to get the last drop of gas?

I currently have 2 inch water dawg but they are too short because i cut them since they were wearing into my flywheel cover. What are you guys using? How far down do you have it going into the engine compartment? All the way to the bottom? Few inches about? Where is a place to get...

I kept my plugs in so when I brought it home I could see how much the water weighed. 30 lbs! Also to see if I could find the leak, im thinking its the firewall but need to find out what it really is. This is after tearing open the tray, putting polystyrene in, replacing broken through tubes...

Hopefully you guys can help on this one. I have a diablo waterdawg hood two breather tubes in the front. 760 engine with oem mukuni 44s, was running oem 38s. Also just put the epic in as well. Seems like everytime I go under water it will run like crap for about a minute afterwards. A buddy...

I was thinking about this and wonder if there is a way to figure it out. Lets say you have a 350 lb ski, plus a 200lb rider which is 550 lb total. But with the drag of the water what should the tow rope break strength be? 1000lb? Just a though....

I have the ac aluminum pole with the umi bracket. So essentially a stock super jet type set up. My spring looks like it is going to rust through soon and those bolts look trick.
