Custom/Hybrid EVO FR 2 RICKTER HULLS

[jdesuperjet]

anyone know of any weak spots (cracking) or any issues with the strenghth of the rickter evo fr 2 glass hull?
i will be surf riding and wanted to know if there are any places on the hull that crack
i do alot of re-entries and backflips but im not a pro at it so rough landings lol
will be attempting to learn barrel rolls so will be alot of bad landings im sure..
Does the rickter withstand alot of this abuse compared to a yamaha superjet for example?
input would be much appreciated..have not purchased rickter hull yet..rode yamaha superjets for my entire surfriding experience..

Well ive seen a fr2 evo get stuffed into the sea bed (under rotated flip) at the UK IFWA last year and there was not a mark on it. It was hard enough to break all 4 mounts and smash the coupler but that was it......no damaged to the hull.
I have had mine for around a year now and it hasnt got any cracks to the hull or even paint, I do a lot of side landed rolls to.

They have to be one of not the strongest hull on the market! Even the FS-2 Evo will handle surf.

If Brandon Lawlor isn't breaking them, that pretty much tells you it is one tough hull. I've seen them tomb stoned on shallow flips and not have any issues.

You won't break it I beat the crap out of mine and only minor stress Cracks. Coming from the guy who is lucky to get a half dozen rides on a reinforced superjet

Just curious....what motor mounts were they?

I have a glass and a carbon, your average idiot will not break these hulls!

Not sure buddy but knowing the owner of the ski they would not have been stock.

Thanks man. That is why I want to know.....stockers don't all break together and take out the midshaft coupler....in my experience. I bet he used stock after that...or should have anyway!
