I think the SN backflip can be done with some Brapage, a shortened hull, trim and a skat pump. If mine was set up like that I would skip the setup wake and just do a tight 180 stab then pull back and bloop! There you go, flat backie on a SN! BTW, I've seen a Blaster flat roll at a IJSBA event...

Yea, nice work. So, my question is: what's better(All work and $ aside) A 650 Kawi pump or the 144 yama pump? I just scored a compleete 650 with burnt up motor for 100 buks so the 650 pump is an option. I also have a compleete pump, seal and hull from an vxr pro to glass in the entire pump...

Yea, I'm going to consider it when my FX hull gets here Monday. I'll see what the pump conversion task looks like in person before I go cutting out my old hull and all. 1k foor a stronger, lighter hull with setback 144 all ready to bolt in sounds pretty sweet. Just have to convince my wallet...

I was researching the best way to do the pump conversion. I wrote Waterdawg and they gave me some prices fot the deck. Don't know if they where giving me a special deal or what but an all carbon bottom was $1350 and a half and half bottom was $1k. It was just for the deck. No other labor. I...

For 1k buks you could have a killer half carbon, half fiber F1-pro bottom deck from Waterdawg. It's already set up for a setback 144 and weighs -25 over stock. Why pay 650+ for a pump conversion?

The first fx I ever saw(And almost bought) was just like this. Some guy in Michigan did the same mod. I have been trying to figure it out ever since. It seems the hood mod wouldnt be that tricky. There's already a channel there on mine. Just need to get a skinnier pole(Like an octane pole). The...

Talk to who? I want one, I have $ and have a 650sx to drop a yami in.

I'm curiouse, wht's the deal with that? Is there a reason to do that?

You'll get it. The key is that that trigger thingie on the right handle bar. It will get you out of trouble fast. Remember how hard it is to go slow on a bike? Same basic thing here, minus the gyroscopic effect. Try giving it a little more gas to start and that should help. I've watched...

One on the way! Using my SN for a doner to build it all.

Ok, all I can say is Damn! No wonder they stopped making it. I will say this though, I love the way prem1x's ski runs in the surf. It's a dream in choppy waves. The training wheels coment erlier discribes it beutifully. It took the chop out of our nasty Texas surf so I could actually enjoy...

Yea, not 70lbs, brain fart, sry

The only thing with an fx-1 is: You are going to be spoiled with the power to wieght ratio. that's the big deal with FX's. They weigh about 70lbs less than super jets but have the same power. Have fun. I've wanted a FX forever. I just got a hull. Cant wait to put it together. Bottom line: You...

Looks like it started with a whimper then... ...BANG! Sweet ride! Nice turnout. I'm waiting for pics of that double decker from across the country. Maybe our group will make it next year. We had to settle for a trip to our local beach instead this year. It was a great trip though. Lots...

So any updates? What was the fix?

Alright, Hooker update. I managed to get some more air in the ski and it ran much better. Then, I installed a PSI pipe I got cheap from a friend. It's still a 650 but pulls better than expected for a slightly modded ski of that year. Even with my rev limiter all the way down, the ski is...

Ty, it looks worse in person though. I diddn't have time for glazing putty. I'll make it pretty when I paint the whole ski this winter. The only real prob is the lack of flow. i'm working on that. It makes the ski look way more modern too. I got lucky with the 3$ paint. It almost matches...

Dave, I just installed that thing today. I was verry pleased with it. it totaly lives up to it's name. I went from a 15.5 straight stainless to a 9/15. It helped dramaticaly with 'rodeo's and hood tricks. It didn't give me the power I had hoped for but that was probably due to my hood mod I just...

So, I did this before about 8 years ago in Jacksonville on a conspicuously similar yellow SJ. I wish the 7 foot wave had been much smaller because it hurts a lot to land on top of a crashing SJ from 30 feet up. One nasty broken arm, a ganked wrist, a 6" piece of titanium w/6 screws, and a dark...

Well, if mine where in better shape, I'd sell 'em to you real cheap. One lost the leading edge that fits under the bond flange, the other is ok. But they are all cracked up from surf abuse.
