Surfriding Surf Rideplate for SXR??

[Sit]

Hi guys

Just a quick one in relation to rideplate suitable for surf/freeride - is it a case of cut the standard one down flush with rear of ski?? Seen a few different versions of modded rideplates on here and just wondered what works best?

Cheers

I think most of us just run a D cut for flat, boat wakes and surf. My ski was all racered out when I bought it so I cut the works plate flush and then a 6 in radius D cut. But think most just mod the stock one. Way more fun to ride

My bad it'd be 3in rad. (6in circle)

That's great thanks bud I will get marking out!! Can't wait to get it back out in the sea now!

Also while I think of it, what does the shortening of the plate and d cut do to the handling of the ski?? How does it change the way the ski rides?
