Great day at the lake today with the team

Each time I go out I feel a little better riding the superjet.

Nice looking ride spot. After every ride on my sj I feel I learned something. Cheers to a nice hobby.

when riding spread your feet apart like you would on a skateboard-surf board you'll have better control over the ski if your not already doing so

Thanks!! Any advise is great. Im feeling pretty good with turning right, but very shaky on my left turns. Also I cant seem to make the dang thing go fast with out it hoping like a pissed off dolphin.

It happens to most new riders until you get a feel for the ski. IF you start to ride surf stance that will help a little bit with that. You have just a stock square pole so kind of hard to cut down, but a shorter pole helps keep the nose down. What ride plate do you have on there? IT

Move your front foot forward more ,Apply more weight to your front foot to get the nose down that should help a lot let know how it works out for you good luck

I found that for me the reason I couldn't turn one direction at first was because my shoulders tended to start twisting the opposite direction for some reason throwing off my balance. Once I corrected that turning that direction wasn't an issue.

My advice is always more ride time before new parts. I have found That most of the time changing things to make the ski more manageable when starting out often leads to spending more money to make it handle more how you want it to once you get comfortable on it.
This is coming from a guy who spent tons of money on a longer plate, hull extensions, pump mods, angled nozzel wedge, intake grates ect. then went to a shortened D-cut stock plate and removed the extensions and now want to shorten the hull lol. I accidentally turned my ski into a race setup trying to fight porpusing and learn fereestyle. Its all about the tray time

Make a boater buddy who will be cool with you harassing his transom

I have a pro tech ride plate. Thank you very much for all the advise. My goal is to be able to ride at freeride next year and at least be able to hit some waves with confidence. Not so much doing big tricks or anything but fun surf riding...no survival o-crap mode. As soon as time change comes I plan on hitting the water a couple times a week.

I also replaced my handle pole bushing and updated my spring to a Blowsion one. That helped a bunch.
