Really? I sub that boat without thinking. It's actually a bit annoying since I usually sub the damn thing during a race :frown:

Get all the way to the back, hop, pull up, tuck, and you can almost invert the boat without thinking.

Do you get a lot of water in the hood? after a fountain the thing was full. i wonder if i do pull it off it might be worse. ....but thanks, i'll try again this weekend, i'll as far as possible

I put the Blowsion block-off on my hood to avoid the excess water intake. You have got to get your speed up before you try to sub....going too slow you won't pull it off. Also make sure you push the bars forward and down after the hop.

My buddy has an 800 ( hella heavy ski in my opinion ) and when I first learned I took the little advice that speed is an issue when you start trying...

Some guy once posted here that you have to be " faster than you are comfortable with " and that worked great for me in the beginning..

Now with any ski at any speed actually no problem...

try it when you have a full tank of gas, stand about 6-8 inches up in the tray, push your feet against the walls, bunny hop, pick the feet up and throw all your weight forward you should be able to make the thing come up backwards if you do this correctly

I do them all the time and havent screwed anything up yet. You just need to be smart about it and only fountain for a second or two. I sub sometimes too deep and come up sputtering real bad but I am sure everyone does that. :starwars:

It's our own Chernobyl :( That is one of about 20 plants around here that have spills that arent reported :thumbsdown: Maybe that's why we have like the highest cancer rate ever. Big Yatchs though!! Want to see my third eye? :dunno: :haha: BTW: It's a river.
