08' superjet hulls and basic free riding

[sandman]

for basic flat water free riding - is the new hull any better or not??

are only really matters in racing??

edit: sorry can't delete question now.. and never mind~

 

[Big Kahuna]

really to hard to say, only a few people have ridden it so far..........

 

[waterfreak]

Has anybody rode it and compared it to the "old" style hulls? What will be better for flatwater freestyle?

There have been a couple ride reports typed out here, one by Kaveman.

It should handle better, but I have not ridden one.

The bottom hull looks alot more like a SXR now. IMO

Parr has about 20+ minutes on one including the ramp jump at World Finals. Maybe he could chime in here.

We have a few in australia
it would seem they handle as well as the sxr and i am guessing they will still be good in the surf due to there light weight

thanks

when posting this question I really needed an answer in 10 minutes - one of the reasons "at the time" got frustrated and was to delete the question.. but the question stills stands - whats the real answer??

Should be a PIMP surf boat just judging from hull changes obviously as I am not one of the few to be awarded ride time on one:crying:

Even though I'm a total hack, that is the question I would like answered. I'm patiently holding out and I don't want to buy an '08 and regret it.

Mine just came in today:Banane01::Banane01::Banane01::Banane01:, picking it up on Mon., I'll have to get out the drysuit, but I'll have a full comparison next week

cooool!

I doubt it's going to be THAT different... I do wonder about the trim system it has... I know its in a fixed position, but I've been wondering if the parts that we can order from yamaha will then be an easy CATS conversion... I know the superjet reduction nozzle is different than the Raiders... right? I wonder if the bosses are in the best position to make the most up trim...

 

[waxhead]

they say it is THAT different
from what i hear its awesome

I want one so bad

Where u from on the gold coast ?? Spent some time in Austraila along the gold coast - the beaches where wonderful! spent a year in New Zealand cave exploring (caver).. must say you people from down under remind me of home.. could not ask for friendlier blokes - girls 2! :beerchug:

it does not handle as well as the sxr. it stays hooked up better than the previous sj and has more lean to the turns. It doesn't rail like an sxr by any means, but is a great handling ski. This has been told to me by a veteran racer who lives in havasu and test rode the ski a long time ago.

I would assume by what he told me, it will still be good for freestyle.

 

[GDFL]

word on the street is that it's hard or nearly impossible to quick-turn like you would to hit a setup wave for a BF or similar. It may just take some getting used to.

 

[Big Kahuna]

I was talking to Parr about that a few hours after his ramp jump......... That may be correctible depending on how the trim was set up, may have been a tad nose down, my SXR will not turn tight for nothing (like a setup wave turn) because it rides nose down..... tweek it for nose up and it could change how it handles.
