Matt Smith, Mike Young and Myself (John Howe) riding the Oceanside Sandbar in February 2011. This was filmed all in one ride. I think I put about 300 hrs on my motor riding these waves this winter

So I twisted my ankle pretty good about 3 weeks ago and I’m just now able to start riding again. I can walk (and ride) fine but every once in a while I twist it the wrong way and it sure lets me know I did something wrong. Thinking of getting an ankle brace until this things a 100%. I’m...

I saw on there website that they make touch up paint for a 2000 SJ http://www.colorrite.com/product/yamaha-0754-dark-purplish-blue-solid-m-dpbsm-1928.cfm Has any one ever used this? Just wondering how well it matches the stock gel coat. And what do you recommend, the touch up pen, the...

How do you do a multi quote in the not so new format now?

I know there are quite a few very talented female riders out there, just wondering if any are back flipping or rolling?

Just an FYI, the twice Annual Iron man contest will be held here at Oceanside Harbor from Thursday March 31st through Saturday April 2nd. The launch will be open on Thurday March 31st and Friday April 1st but boat trailer parking at the launch ramp will be closed. On Saturday April 2nd both...

Every since the winter rains have brought us the “Sandbar,” our normally ignored riding spot has changed from a typical beach break to an incredibly epic shaped wave, making it the destination of choice for every surfer and tow crew within driving range. We’ve been racking our brains with ideas...

Ever want to ride super long open shouldered waves like Malibu on your ski? Well the recent storms here in California have dumped so much rain that the Santa Margarita river (the small estuary that empties in the ocean on Camp Pendleton here in Oceanside) looks like the Colorado river. The...

Maybe I just don’t know how to do it but it seems when someone posts thumbnails on PWCtoday you can simply click on the first one and it gives you a scroll option to view the “next” in the series. On the X you have to actually close the Thumbnail and the re open the next one. There’s no...

Any body ride at Lake Nacimiento, CA? My family is planning a reunion there this summer so I’m trying to find out more info on the place. I map quested the lake and its looks like a cool riding spot with lots of fingers and channels off the main body of water. (they're problably all no wake...

I know the bottom of the hulls are the same but are the bond lines the same? Are the bottoms interchangeable? I'm thinking the "square nose" and the "round nose" won't match and they would have to be hacked up to work.

I saw this Double Impeller at World Finals in the Solas booth. The guy said it was still under development but that it was suppose to load a stock pump similar to how a mag pump works. Interesting to see if they really work.

Shonuff is a great seller. I just received an item I purchased from him. He sent the item promptly, the item was more than adequately wrapped for shipping and it was exactly as described. I would buy from him again

Just exactly how hot does our engines run? Do we need the 500 degree rated engine paint or can we just use regular paint for an engine? The reason I'm asking is because I bought some Dark gray 500 degree engine paint and after it dried it came out a different shade, kinda gold looking. I then...

Any suggestions on what to use to clean really gunked up motor parts? I’m specifically wondering if there’s any really powerful stuff that will remove just about anything with out having to scrub it to death. Of course I’m lazy but mostly because there are so many nooks and crannys on the...

I have a Skat Mag pump in my ski which absolutely rocks in the surf. The only downside is that It seems to need bearings/rebuild about every six months or so. The “Bill” always seems to be around $300. My stock pumps have never come apart or even needed bearings. Has any one tried a TBM (Or...

Hey East Coast Crew Are you guys getting any waves from Earl? We're actually heading into a flat spell here in Cali. So much so that I'm heading inland to AZ for the Labor day weekend. Hope you guys score. Lets see some pics

Whats the purpose of the large rubber dampener on the bottom of the 2008+ SJ engines? Is that Yamahas answer to the Kenny keeper? Would it work on/help a pre 08 SJ?

I just saw this on Grind TV, Not sure why he calls it a TP roll but is sick any way! Travis is so good that he's not even using a foam pit for practice anymore. http://www.grindtv.com/moto/blog/19290/the+stunt+too+risky+for+an+x+games+legend/

I just got my Watcon hood seal in the mail and I was reading the tips for installation which said “Often the Super Jet will need a slit cut into the front seal area to allow the hood to drop into position” What do they mean by “slit”?, Does that mean cutting the hood seal along its length...
