Applications Engineer for Kawasaki Hydraulics. I tell people what they can and CAN'T do with our pumps and motors. Sometimes they don't listen, then I get to deny warranty.

Stone has been on an EME for a couple years now. I'd say he kinda likes it.

Hey Tommy, what did you guys end up doing for a gas tank in there? Can you still run the stock Kawasaki SXR tank?

Good to know - thanks!

Hey Dan, What about a 4 gallon Kawasaki js550 tank? If you're running a 'b' pipe set-up, there should be enough room between the motor and waterbox to fit that tank. OR, does the stock waterbox not fit in the nose of the stunt hull?

A really short, really light (like 55lb) hull would probably do it. The problem is, that's ALL it would do!

Maybe you should just sell your boat, buy a little trampoline, put it at the end of the dock, and backflip off of it into the water.

I don't like having to wait on the weather so that I can drive 45 minutes, then get cocky and do them too close to shore and crack the nose of my ski. I'm just jealous you've ridden waves like 5 times this year already....

As much as I think the big bore 827 would kick butt, I think a stroker is really the best way to get that HUGE bottom/mid end smack you need to launch. Yes, I realize this is coming from a guy with a stroker that can't do a FWBF... Then again, Patrick likes the 827 BETTER than the 793 (8mm x...

Nicely done Patrick!

Call Radney at Team Scream (727)442-7700 and have him price it for you. I believe their cylinder porting is pretty cost effective. I'm not sure if you'll get a hold of anyone this week since they're all out in Havasu though...

The flat black with orange text is freaking sweet! Where'd you get the idea? :-) LOVE it!!

That's it! Bingo. However, if you can do it off your own wake, it makes the others that much easier. It's like learning to ride on a 550 - every other stand up is that much easier to ride.

Nope, you want to ride on the left side of the boat, outside of the wake. You are heading the same direction as the boat, and turn slightly right to head towards the wake. When hitting the wave, you'll turn right a little bit at the bottom, then HARD left (feel the clunk of the bars) riding up...

Yes, you need full throttle when launching - big time!

It's deceptive. We say "pull the tray up" because you it's easier to imagine yourself doing that. What's actually happening is that you are pulling your torso closer to the boat and helping it spin faster.

Here's the shape of the left handed roll set-up wave that I use.

If you're going do do it off a boat wake, and you're spinning to the left (counterclockwise), you need to ride on the left side of the boat, heading the same direction as the boat. That will give your boat the most amount of time on the wave face = more height, and more time for rotation. If you...

Fujisawa could barrel roll overtop of my barrel rolls. He get's jaw-droppingly high.

Is that the new Xmetal log bar? I hear those things are pretty tough!
