I highly recommend against bailing during a roll. :bigeyes: Other than that I don't really have any advice for flatwater rolls. But don't be nervous about getting hurt. You'll forget all about a little pain as you make it further and further around your rolls.

I bought a brand new 05 for 6k at the end of the season thinking I'd keep it stock for a good year to maintain the warranty. Then I learned about surf riding :bigeyes:. I have since sank an embarassing amount more $$ into it in just the past four months. Oh and that nice black paint job you...

The biggest difference I notice (besides the waves) is my eyes kill me in fresh water. Not a problem in salt. I also feel slimier getting out of fresh water. You'll get used to it. :Banane09:

Yeah man if anyone can get away for a weekend, Pete's clinic will be the best thing happenin in the Northeast for sure! For those of you who don't know him, this boy can turn anything into a good time and if at first you don't succeed, he'll make you feel good about trying :approve: . See...

I prefer to invest my money in Magoo's and Yamaha stock :nono:

Back to work... :rippedhand:

Yeah man this site is the shiznit :cool2:

Just called Steve at Watercraft Factory. He answered on the first call, gave me the cliff notes on Hoods 101, and is working on it this week! If his product is half as good as his reputation and service seem to be then I'm going to be very satisfied! :woot:

Arsed or not, I expect a lesson at your clinic in May! :Banane01: I'm sure it helps with one less ear in which to hear the voice of reason :wink:

There's a decent gallery of my reinforcement job using fiberglass at http://www.wavejunkies.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=4. I think Yamaslut's roundnose build thread has some good info on the paint, fuel filler, and just about everything else you need to build a freestyle ski...

Yeah man you did fcking sweet dude :headbang: . Unless your food sponsor includes lunch, some volunteers working that grill would be great for lunchtime. We definitely need to do this more often in your neck of the woods :cool2: .

SJ so you always have spare parts :27:

Yeah I searched around pwct and saw nothing but negative feedback. That's why I say that product is not a good fit for me :cool2: . Good luck to ya though bro! :fingersx:

Those shots of pearljam/chrisxp are unreal. I've seen him do nuthin's from about the same height and have never seen him bail :omfg:. I can't wait to see how he handles his new blaster!

There's a waterdawg hood for sale on pwct. I really like the wcf hoods I saw this weekend especially if they've been pancake tested and approved at the heights yall fly :omfg:. Now I gotta work extra hard on tweaking my tax return :hail: .

Thanks for the tips :approve: . I'll make a couple phone calls. I'm not too sure the Waterdawg hood is the best fit for me.

$275 for an SBT crank. Maybe they'll even offer a pwct discount :theyareontome: :outtahere:

I've already learned the hard way about reinforcing the engine compartment and now I'm afraid I'm learning something else the hard way. Here's my worst area which happens to be on my 3/4 roll side. http://www.wavejunkies.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=26 I like to think this...

Does the pic of slut "dead or alive" thread count? :sasmokin: :biggthumpup:

I hope I'm not beating a dead horse with this thread :question: . I've read a couple threads about the look and feel of various hoods, but how about strength? Keep in mind I can't really afford an $1800 247 hood unless it'll save me from purchasing two $900 hoods down the road. I'm still...
