We had 2 prototypes @ our shoot. One I built of glass, TPE964/PFP/mag144. The other was autoclaved CF (one hand lift) w/XS1000. Pat Bogart rode the CF.

This new proto will be interesting for several reasons. Besides the sponsons (sidebows) increased 2x from previous prototypes. The ergonomics will focus on pelvic seating, esp. sideways while maintaining even vehicle attitude. ( in a turn, I lean, the jet ski does not) then brap, brap! Drift-------

Centerlining/locating the 160 pump to the midshaft. Rediculous amount of mods. All good, system set up, Mid shaft tool smooth soon. Love the challenges

Mid shaft smooth through rigged jigs. Center lines within tolerances.

Can't say that I've seen anyone drifting on a jet ski. Only experienced it.

lol. I'd love to see this one. (Wavejammers and Sparks can drift!) and You would think after all these years, some video would have surfaced? I can't help Discovery's video editor, but during that 2 day shoot, I was doing some serious drifting. Controlled @ 45 degrees.
I will have this prototype completed 6-8 months, then we'll have video.

All you have to do is turn it hard and gas it , pretty much like powersliding a dirt bike.

See, you can't redefine drifting as a swoosh. Y'all would hi end that MF, got's to get low

And that's on a flat surface. Ask Bobby (videographer) what happened after the first couple 20' radius circles @ 45% in a 200 ' wide canal in Canada. (wakes make for serious drifting)

Machine shop in Orlando is lathing out the pump shoe to 160. #2 There are a few inches between retainer pump ring and pump shoe/ride plate/intake assembly. Bought a 6" / 160mm OD plexi tube to help mod the tunnel. My Worx 701? has always been good to me when I'm sideways. Opening the tunnel for capacity.

I am having a hard time imagining drifting on a watercraft. Ive seen slides and whatnot but are you actually sliding a big left turn while your bars are to the right? Like drifting? Got any videos of drifting on water? Id love to see as i just dont understand how its possible.

The best I can describe it is it's like powersliding a dirt bike , if you ever watched flattrack motorcycle videos you would understand , but on the water
I have a 701 Jammer with a 144 pump. It can crab nearly completely sideways. It doesnt drift like something with wheels because it steers from the rear. Its more like add more turn get more sideways.

complete control. I like that. How's its do on wakes? I will stop what I'm doing, if I could see a video of a Jammer drifting completely sideways. Controlled

poop, I don't even go completely sideways. 45

One thing you did mention that I appreciated. crabbing. In particular horseshoe crabbing, styling-wise look@ Lee Stone hulls.
