    Foil Boarding - Loyal to the Foil

    No worries at all! Normally we can dropship those types of things from Slingshot and Ride Engine. Kinda hard to do when it's all out of stock... Desperate times! Here's what I've been doing. Just a O'Brien surf sock. It's just big enough and stretches enough to wrap around and cinch on the mast.

    Things have been hectic at the cabinet shop. 3 people juggling 5 or more projects at a time. Both a blessing and a nightmare. We've had to put in a lot of hours to stay in schedule and keep Since it's 2021 and we're anxious to see artificial intelligence take the next steps to dominate the...

    Cipa mirror owners beware

    2 years in (I think) my CIPA Vision 180 did the same thing. I uncovered the boat to find the mirror/glass on the floor. Went to Lowes and bought some Gorilla mounting tape and reinstalled it. No issue since. I love the mirror otherwise. I would have been upset if it had shattered...

    Wake Surf Suggestions

    Fluid dynamics I agree, that your wave is not fully forming due to the lack of speed.

    2006 Yamaha SR210 Wake Surf setup

    Not impossible, but it definitely is an aid. Constancy is important, and very really 10.2mph and 10.4mph can be the difference between going ropeless and falling out the back of the wave. The Ridesteady maintains an accurate speed to the nearest .1mph. You can be fairly accurate without but you...

    High altitude prop recommendations

    Swapping to the pitched 6CW (AR190 & SX190 OEM impellers) you are dealing with the same pump diameter, so that part is easy. The 6CW impellers have the most overlap available for 150mm pump which seems to improved traction and decrease cavitation. I went from 6800 max RPM to 7500 RPM, better...

    High altitude prop recommendations

    2016 AR240 here. Boosting in Northern Utah mostly, between 4500-7000' elevations. I had Impros pitch me a pair 6CW (OEM from 190 models). They made a BIG difference.

    XLR8 Wake Shaper. Anybody? Opinion?

    Rumor has it that these wedge style shapers are ineffective in these jet boats. This is for a couple of reasons. most don't fit far enough down in the hulls of the Yamahas before they encounter the step. Also difficult because of the shallow draft. These devices are meant to be installed on...

    Yamaha to the rescue at Haulover (2:40) If you're a member here, we need a award for heroic acts. My wife commented how the jet drive was the perfect rescue boat for the situation. Safely maneuvering in the current and getting him on the transom. Well done!

    Want to buy the wife a surfboard.

    Honestly, she could probably get away with either size. Once you geth things dialed in. I think the 5'0" would probably give her an easier time learning and progressing. It'll keep her on the wave with ease and be a little more forgiving if she drops back. Riders as light as 100lbs have been...

    Want to buy the wife a surfboard.

    Hey @Speedyjunk, Congratulations on the new boat! I started drafting this yesterday morning... its hard to catch a break. My guess was the 5'9" board was probably a H/L Landlock. Not a bad board, but I think your instincts are right to shop for a board for your wife, it's a pretty oversized...

    First day with Cobra Jet fins

    Here's a little walkthrough of my installation if the Super Magnum AK Deluxe with AK Fangs on my '16 AR240. I guess in a way it's kind of the video I wish I'd had to start. My video is probably a little long-winded. Be nice, I'm a amateur installer and it's my first install/review video. Feel...
