Customs skis' from Air Time Products (UK) - April 2006

We were asked to build two freestyle skis for a budding would be freestyler, he was from another country and under the age of 16 years old. We were asked to supply hard hitting freestyle skis with a realistic price tag and no fancy paint job (wanted to keep it simple and kept the OEM graphics with a few others added). Reliability was a major consideration as technical back up was limited from their own mechanics. One of the nice things about this build was we started with two brand new SJ's straight out of the crate, and did everything in one hit, it makes you realise just how much stuff from the original ski you actually throw away.
These skis don’t have the fantastic paint jobs/artwork that some of you guys have displayed on here before, but they are custom skis fully kitted out with the whole Air Time Products range (at time of build more parts added since these two were built).
We’ve tried to show you as much as we can without taking up the whole forum.
Some picture gaps of the build.

Just thought we'd add the following as we don't think it's ever been shown on a Jet Ski forum before (I might be wrong) thought you'd find it interesting.
The following pictures show some of the process involved in making one of our (in house) Carbon Fibre pre-preg hoods.
There are more stages than this, a more detailed write up can be seen here
http://www.queenford.8m.com/hoodprepregbuild.htm more photos will be added to our website soon.
This particular hood has been built with the demands of surf riding in mind so extra layers were added, this hood and baffle bonded together weighs 9lbs.

awesome nice looking skis
why did you use a jetentics ignition and not one of your own

At the time of this build our ignition systems were still in their testing stage so I really didn't want to put them on these skis until the units were 100%, our ignition systems came about because of the ever present supply issues with the one's we'd imported previously.
I never heard of ATP... do ya make SXR stuff?
As our interest is mostly freestyle and nearly everyone over here uses Super Jets for freestyle and SXRs for racing we currently only make a few parts for the Kwaks i.e hood latch, handlepole & steering etc.
very nice workmanship!!!
Thanks

I think these are really cool sleepers, and they are skis that the average rider can afford and handle. Beautiful hoods!
