Captain white sox Supajet!

Well I felt it was about time I built myself a fully surf dedicated Superjet that can withstand some big crashes with minimal damage. I wanted to leave as much spare cash aside for mods as I can so I purchased this as a starting point. you may have seen it on trademe a couple of weeks back, I picked it up for a resonable price. I only kept it in one piece long enough to take these photos then It was stripped down to a bare hull.




For a 12 year old ski it is still in good condition.



It came with a few extras already which is kool. I have some pretty big plans for this puppy and some choice parts on the way soon too!

A new ski at last!

Wow - Tidy looking ski there Capt - Well done.

Nice ski, What are your plans for this build?

Yes a new ski at last! My plans are to make this ski much more badass and stronger then the one im riding now with heaps more power and all in a sweet looking skin...

More updates soon..

Besides you kunts couldnt ride a greasy stick up a dogs sweety ass hole,

Doesn't the saying go "couldn't drive a greasy stick up a dogs arse"....
You really need to stop riding those sticks and dreaming of dogs sweet assholes... :lol:

what on earth are you on about Bailey!? .......you need to lay off on huffing on the Black Flag !!

haha who let that dude on the forum!!

So anyway all my Blowsion parts have been ordered and should be arriving shortly. In the mean time i have been doing alot of work reinforcing the hull. I am using woven glass instead of carbon because the end result will be stronger. The only downside is that it will be heavier aswell but i figure the weight difference wont be more then about 1kg anyhow. I coved the whole join smooth between the top and bottom half with resin and glue powder to give it more strenth and to make it easier to glass over and i also coved the little dip beneth the rim where the hood seal goes so i can bring my glass right out to the edge. will try post some pictures soon. ( lost the charger for the camera)

Get a carbon hood, that will save you 1 or 2 kg Captn

Whats that hood on knoxs ski it is carbon but doesn't really feel lighter??

Chirs Hale was doing something like that last time i talkd to him.... I dont know how he is going with it though. From what he said i think he was going to make one similar to the wamilton one he has on his ski.

How long has that dude been talking about making those hoods for? haha how far along is he now? could be keen?

I have no idea... just pm him (whale)

Knoxie is running the same hood and nose cone as my ski, its an R&D race setup, but I have filled in the air intake holes at the top of the hood and added some more at the front (behind the pole bracket) so it still sucks plenty of air but gets no water in. It is A LOT lighter than the stock hood.

He's built the mold and i think he's making hoods now.

I got the reinforcing done on the first side last night it swallowed up nearly a litre of resin. the nose took half a litre. the coving took half a litre also. I will weigh the glass tonight to try get some idea of the total added weight, probably should have done before and after. il find out the weight of the resin too probably written on the tin...

i would say it close to 1.2kg for a container of resin
