re

thats a tidy looking ski mate!

Lovin the turf job!

Yea man thats a real nice turf job!!
Good work, looking sharp!

Yeah the turf looks mint , Chris Hale did an awesome job on the turfing and installing the footholds!

That one fine turf job alright, progressing nicely

Cheers, have u got ur ski all worked out????

I think so. Gonna sus the tuning out a bit at tuakau on the way to the port tomorrow. Think my new batterys fuct tho. i think cos one of the wires was dodgy. I'm sick of spending money on repairs.

did you end up going out today?

Did you do any padding under that turf?

yeah there is under padding its real soft, im not sure how thick it is though.... at a guess i would say 8mm. I went to browns bay yesterday it was good, just about to head out there now

UPDATE

Well just added a few new bits and pieces, D-cut stock ride plate, B pipe (mod chamber), re-jetted carbs, boysen reeds, MSD enhancer, Invert tech -4" steering setup and a primer kit.

who did the "D" cut in your ride plate?

Chris Hale AKA Whale (forum name)

how does it ride comapred to stock? Might do it on my old one

For flatwater freestyle it is a good plate, the nose rides high and light. things like tail stands are are very easy due to the D-cut. I have only been in the surf once with this plate but you can slash into waves nicely. The ski also seems to slide out more predictably than stock. There are two negative things about the D-cut, the first is that when you land the ski after a jump it tends to want to stay in a tail stand and it takes a second to get your weight forward and get going (I probly just need to get used to this plate in the surf) the second is the ski becomes unstable at high speeds (wide open throttle). I would suggest you give it a go if you have a spare plate. Just get a metal blade on a jigsaw and cut / tidy it up with a grinder.

Just added Blowsion Hood Straps and a UMI limiting rope..

Looking good. You should start riding it again :lol:

Sunday the 14th and hopefully ill be in the surf with you guys. Just gotta replace the bearings on my trailer next week and im good to go, both the tires are completly seized.

How was your ride today? I didnt get ur txt till late so I couldnt make it...

Awsome ride yesterday, probably go again friday as I can't ride this weekend.

The bottom connection (pole bracket) of the ploe limiting strap will come apart pretty easily, mine lasted 10 min max in the surf, I got the shop to make up a crimp set up like whats on the steering end. Strong as.
