ride plate

whats the best ride plate for the surf for a sj,short or long etc???

d cut isnt it??

flush with the back of the ski d cut optional

What's the diff between flush cut and a D cut? Can I do this to the stock ride plate on my SJ?

Plate

Your stock ride plate will be basically flush cut with the rear of the ski, by doing the D cut it should get your nose of the ski up quicker.

Ive got a stock D cut plate, may sell if anyone intrested

Is the stock plate with a D cut comparable to aftermarket plates?

I used to use one it did the job but didnt last long in the surf cause they are so thin that they tear apart through the middle of the D cut and also get beaten around the pump. best bet is to get an aftermarket ride plate which is thicker and cut it off flush

Yep as the capt says they do end up cracking. The stock one ive got is fine with no cracks just use until it craps out. It hasnt had much use

I have got molds for aftermarket ones which can be made out of glass or carbon/kevlar.

they wont fit an '08 plus ski tho will they? pretty sure dan has an 09?

I think its just a case of drilling some new holes?
