To Tubbie or not to Tubbie?

[tipafew]

Okay, people that have a fair amount of experience riding skis with and without Tubbies please give me your opinion.
I am building a RN for surf and flat water.
Are there any negatives for freestyle and freeride?

I have tubbies on my SXI and I love them, best mod i've done. I can still roll off of wake :wink:

 

[Big Kahuna]

personally, they absolutly suck for flat water, you dont see anybody that competes with them........

that said, in the surf or really rough choppy water, yeah, they are good.

tubbies RULE

 

[Fro Diesel]

I want some tubbies! I nosed in hard on thursday on the face of a waves and hit bottom, not hard but enough to make me say, "I want tubbies"

I just don't want to pay the price they ask. Mark (thong_bandit) and i are talking of making our own off a template or from some real tubbies. It would be poor man's tubbies. :cheer2:

 

[team510]

i have not been on ski with them for a long ride just kinda playing for a minute on a ski with them so i dont have a real opinion,but everyone that runs them loves um or hates them!

 

[butti]

i dont like them at all but i seem to be the minority :dunno:

Wow!! Do you two make out often?? Making out with (thong_bandit)???at:

 

[marz831]

I love mine.....and FWIW I don't make out with dudes. Especially dudes named Thong Bandit.

I don't compete, but I love them for flat and surf. I don't know why you say they suck.

Exactly what is it that sucks about them on flat? :dunno:
Seriously....I keep seeing you say that, but I'd like to know what exactly it is that makes them bad for flat. I've had them on for over a year now, and I can't think of a single thing that's bad about them for flatwater freestyle, but I am probably missing something or not thinking of something.

there is nothing wrong with them on flatwater, just unnecessary

 

[hangtime]

There are twp types of Superjets ,those that have tubbies and those that need tubbies .

My tubbies are bigger than yours:booty:

If you like carving turns than you don't know what your missing:fing02:

I disagree. :biggthumpup:

They improve handling all around.

Well, maybe not on the trailer. :nutkick:

 

[D-Roc]

has the handling improvement made your flatwater tricks any better? or just your riding input lazier? i can't see how you would need to rail the corner for that setup wake. like kahuna said you don't see anyone competing with them because for flatwater tricks the superjet already handles perfect for everything. just imo, each to there own.

 

[waxhead]

I love my tubbies
I wouldnt have a superjet with out them in the surf or in the flat
I tune a lot of boats for people and i hate riding some ones ski that doesnt have them on

 

[Crab]

1's or 2's?:stups:

 

[waxhead]

Do they actually still make the ones

definetly 2s in my mind

 

[IceRocket1286]

like kahuna said you don't see anyone competing with them because for flatwater tricks the superjet already handles perfect for everything. just imo, each to there own.

Since you said everything I'm assuming you also mean racing. Ever see a Sj out there racing competitively without tubbies? Its hard enough to find SJs competing WITH tubbies since it still is no match to an sxr/hs/octane

Like what was said aboe, there are two types of superjets. Superjets with tubbies, and superjets that need tubbies.
