Hi guys, has anyone used there s4 in the surf for freeride and jumping yet???

Good Luck! IMO its not a surf ski front end heavy.

don't like salt water on or in my hs boats but as far as jumping, I got incredible air off our ramp jump in phrump and it had no signs of the front end going down

for the ocean theres plenty of cheap two smokes available

but if you are made of money like the guys in the middle east salt water is not a issue

ive seen a few HS's in the surf. they dont jump over waves, they slice through them.

Don't listen to the blo-hard momar only salt he ever saw was on his super size french fries and ronald mcdonald happy meal with toy... lol! well if your the kind that drives around in 30 foot circles all day to jump wave after wave after wave to do 100 barrel rolls. then no, a hydro isnt for you. But slam a 951 in that hydro hull now you got some thing! if you like to run along the beach wide open out running the shore break in one foot of water till the 6 footers close you out and throw you onto the beach and you have to think fast to find a way out or els punch right thru to get out! then its friekn heaven!! I love that cheeeit! But the weber engine is a pile of over weighted slugglish krap.! Now where's that engine i have of that weber hangin by my hoist just b4 i sold it to klipper after a week of owning it. lol

Thats what i was thinking had a freeride xft sj, started racing bought sxr, got bored, just put in a 951 in the kawi was wondering how the hull would handle wave jumping even back flipping with the hydrohull imagine that! OR R I INSANE

and the reason klipper bought your engine is he has the intelligence like I to keep a weber running all the time but you??????????????

sluggish crap, apparently you have never been to a real jet ski race like the world finals or anything in europe

for jet ski racing, the weber is the motor to have for sure

a little water in your 951 and it will grenade for sure,happened to hagas on saturday at the races and its been
known to be the nemisis of the 951 in xpls forever

JIP i know thats why im looking atother options, i got bored with racing here in south africa why? i won the 2008 limited class s2 out of a whole 3 competitors, moved up and when i pitched up the whole season we may have been 2 including me check out our website www.sajsba.com i wish our racing was a big as urs in the usa but its not anymore so i wanted to stop rebuilding my engine and play more Racing rules but freeride is cheaper my o2 the 951 has issues i know but im gona ride it anyway ;>
