Some screen dumps of some video taken of me on my ski ...I want to point out the last pic (my favourite because it shows what i wanted this ski to do and that was everything) that was taken doing a 180 degree race turn with full throttle best of all is that you dont need any extra bolt on aftermarket tubbies or fins... I wont say no outher AM hull can do the same but would like to test some head to head ....and landings are a breeze as you dont spend you entire ride pulling yourself into the tray ... this will happen with shorter hulls...gets boring after a while i like to land my tricks and ride away...or at least a tail stand and ride away thats good to......

 

[Sharky]

sorry the last one with the 180 turn LOL

hey cambo where you been hiding , you still get out on the ski much........ yeah well i spend the time masking and tapeing and sanding ...i want the inside to look good to....if i had my way i would spend at least a few more hours just detailing but ..the market sets the price i suppose ....i have decided to sell them for what a rickter costs as they are just as good i just dont have 2-3 guys just to finish mine off (just me so will only be able to sell 2-3 max a month....

cheers alan just sorry the hood was scratched ...did it buff out ....if it does not i will swap it as i have a new hood out this week....

i know you are running a modified 08+ bottom..how similar does it ride to an 08+?? I love riding a newer sj for laying down turns on a buoy course but not in the surf...they hook up way to much...were u able to loosen it up some??

this is the only aftermarket hull that sparks my interest... completely utilitarian and down to business and the tray is the proper width so you can have a normal stance and still use the gunwales for support..its nice to see someone build a hull without training wheels (aka 6" too wide)

I haven't even tried Im going to spend most of the weekend so I will give it a go pretty sure it should come out its not very deep

Hey mate
Not hiding just been super busy with work and I was in thailand last rip and ride set foot on my ski two weeks ago for the first time in 14 months
I will probably see Luke soon keen to have a wirl on this ski and see how she handles
Are you doing this with tracker??

No mate did it on my own, built the plugs myself over a year and have a local company doing the infusion and moulds ....I just assemble them..

Thanks , I wanted something that turned like an 08 but could still slide....its hard to describe but you do use feet and weight more as you can actually kind of over steer and slide it then it just grabs so take a bit to get used to but yes when flat you can spin it around like a pre 08 and slide into a wave, but it wont side slide down the face so you can ride the wave at any height..... its weird cause once you turn you can get the back to slide or step out depending how aggressive you are but you can turn and lean over just like an 08 i reckon its the nose as it wants to turn around the front tubbies back on its self........everyone who has riden it that is actually good with ski's loves it ...new riders with less than a year or two get high sided and fall off but pick it eventually ....best handled with speed LOL my plan is to try and get one built and send it over to the states for people to try .......i have seen you ride and you will love it ....video will be out soon

Chines are not an 08 i hand sanded them down a bit , the rest is my secret
