Yea i got the stock polystyrene in the nose, its the hood that's the problem. don't think those hoods are made for the surf lol. So going to fill air intakes in hood and make it water tight so the hood will be air pocket = more floatation. then run breathers through pole and that should solve any problems.
Bro! that ski is wicked azz! Nice ride .... its come a long way! Hard work sure pays off and late nights i can relate to that well with my build too haha
