    Has anyone tried 3d printing a hull?

    Please just spare the superjets for the sake of keeping them in existence. So many went to the graveyard by people cutting them up then giving up half way through. If not for the sake of it being an endangered species, for the fact that its the hull that started modern freestyle as we know it.

    Looking for information

    Youll get used to mr plug. He knows his stuff. But hes the type of guy that explains why lead paint is bad by dumping a gallon of it in your kitchen.

    Which SJ to buy?

    At this point they are all pretty hard to buy, and expensive compared to years ago, so I would just get whatever you can find if it comes down to it. If you ride fast and aggressive theres nothing wrong with an +08. If have to slam the bars for sharp turns and its barely enough. Def do the mod...

    Sparkplug mined for the metal with a homemade shovel to make the two stroke airplane he used to fly to the oil field. He then used that oil to win 16 championships racing a backflip boat against a field of SXRs

    Need Help Superjet Noob

    As a guy, who is just some guy, who has been riding for over a decade, you dont need aftermarket stuff to have fun. Figure out what you wanna do while riding your superjet. Whatever anyone says, the best surf rider ever rode beefed up superjets. Learn skills on superjets, branch off from there.

    Who had a bad day at Newport Beach?

    Its because everyone thinks they are gonna save the day in a life or death situation until the guns pointed at your head. The captain clearly had np idea what to do. He was probably going from keep doing what im doing to holy crap rapidly and then its too late.

    First A/M freestyle hull…. Help

    Is a full carbon lightweight comp hull really ideal for someone learning to flip? I just feel like its going to break a lot and a sizable time and financial budget will be needed for repairs. Just curious because i dont really know.
