Blocking front holes on SN Hood - tuning

[Midlake Crisis]

I put duct tape over the front three round holes on each side of my SN hood to reduce water intrusion.

My ski is running pretty darn good for what it is, but after I ride a while it will periodically start having this problem: I do a little prehop, let off the gas, then nail it to do a stab or whatever and it just bogs like a dog and won't carry me through the maneuver.

Could the bog be air starvation from the hood getting filled with water and not being able to drain out the front holes?

Any other ideas?

i don´t have an answer to your question. but there will probobly be more water intrusion with the drain holes blocked.
if you block the front holes you need drain holes in the back. otherwise you need to do a backflip to drain the hood
