D-cute ride plate ?

[FreestyleFreak]

Is there any advantages to a d-cute rideplate?

Learn to ride first.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

nope, none what so ever.

:dunce:

 

[FreestyleFreak]

ok

ok lemme re word it.What does a d-cut plate do?

 

[Vumad]

Makes the front end lighter from what I hear.

Idea is to make it easier to get the front end out of the water when jumping.

On the flip side, it makes it harder to keep the nose down when you want to ride faster, so it will porpose more.

I don't have a D-cut, but that's what it does from what I gather. Sounds like something I wouldn't like.

I strongly suggest you learn how to ride the ski with a regular rideplate to where you are in absolute control of porpoising.

Because it will get worse with a D-Cut.

 

[FreestyleFreak]

ok

Ok i will stick with the stocker for a while.

Good call. Don't think about cutting your ride plate until you can ride the ski almost full throttle in flat water w/o porposing.

it helped me turn harder when launching out of the water. i couldent nose stab with my long ass extended plate... cut it and wammmm great spinning action. but i had to almost relearn the ski

if you ride flatwater stick with stock.
if you ride surf it is a must, regardless of skill level.
in surf dolphinism isnt as much of a problem.

do a search!!

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

funny.

I ride flatwater, and it made a big difference after I did the D cut to my plate.

but search.

haha

i think it helped on flat water with rolls but i hate it in the surf

Makes it handle like crap

 

[Matt_E]

That depends on the rider and his/her preferences.

My ski handles better than any other I've tried.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

yeah, I like the way it handles better with the cut than without.

but the main thing, is that the nose is light, like it feels when you are nearly out of fuel, it feels like that all the time, when I first started riding with the D cut, I would jump a wake, and land with the ski nose up, on top of me, it really makes it easier to get that attitude of the boat.

 

[Matt_E]

Nutsacker!

 

[yamanube]

By crappy I mean really slippery, it seems to work better for freeride/freestyle but for just riding and carving it really sucks. This is how mine looks...

OUCH! I hate thatopworm:

with a D cut plate my rolls were nose high, I installed a regular plate and they leveled out more........ no D plate for me.

But, I have not run a plate that was built specifically with a D Cut in it,

Mine carves fine. :dunno:

Tubbies may have something to do with that.
