My first custom board build
ChrisKinseyJR. replied to DarksideR's topic in Watersports & Related Gear
Hey Dark, I'm glad you ordered a board. I really think you'll enjoy it. Let me know how it rides and if you need anything. Welcome to team Shred Stixx! -
Whenever I 360, I try to gain speed down the line of the wave. If you pump, make sure they're in rhythm and not too aggressive. Next, try bending more at your knees and not at your waist. The best way I can describe this is to spin like you're doing squats weightlifting, making sure your back is straight, and all of the pressure is applied to your knees, not your lower back. You can help this by only putting your right hand in the wave and keeping your left at your side. Keep practicing and keep us posted on your progress!

Just picked up the new boat. Taking it to the stereo shop on Monday. Can't wait to get it on the water!
-
Thanks again guys! I had it at the Shredstixx/Slayshtank video shoot this weekend, and it throws a massive wave. The police also gladly informed us that the stereo far exceeds the maximum sound output allowed by the sound ordinance on Lake Austin; the flashing multi-colored LED's didn't help us out either... @duffy- The horns are in the center of the cone, they're just hidden behind a very thin layer of fabric. @irocn- I also think it will be stronger than the original fiberglass. It is a very sturdy, high-quality build.

Here are some pictures of the finished install. It sounds even better than it looks! Everything is sealed up and water tight. The amp boxes were built and installed so that they will support everything properly. We only lost about 4 inches from the ballast area under the seats.
-
Here are a few more from Insane Kustomz and Treo Engineering. These are pictures of the amp boxes. One of the things that I asked Insane Kustomz is that we not lose any ballast or storage space. They came up with a very creative design. @LakeSurfer - The amps and speakers are Treo. We should have the finished product later this weekend and I can post some information on the install as well as more pictures.

Just got these pictures in from Insane Kustomz of the audio / lighting install

@jag- I have never ridden a boat with a switchblade, but I've heard it makes a big difference! The wave on my Enzo 240 is huge and has a lot of power to it without the switchblade. I haven't ridden my new 244 yet, but the one I rode at worlds was very similar to the wave of my 240.
-
@cook, wakedoc- There, I uploaded one just for you guys!
-
Thanks guys! @doug- My boat came with the standard quick fill ballast- approximately 500 lbs. on each side The standard center ballast- 250 lbs. The pro ballast system- approximately 694 lbs. on each side The plug and play ballast system- approximately 714 lbs. Total ballast- Approximatley 3352 lbs. At worlds last year, Centurion increased the size of the pro ballast package (dual midship ballast).
-
@cooks- The new boat came with the quick fill ballast system, the pro ballast system, and also the centurion plug and play ballast option. All of the ballast came installed from the factory, so everything is ready to go. The new centurion ballast arrangment is practical and easy to use, and everything fills in a matter of minutes. I will post up pictures of the wave once we get it onto the water.
-
Thanks for the compliments guys! @Toby- Yeah, I was thinking the same! My top two college choices right now are Texas Tech and Baylor. It's going to be a very tough decision!
-
Thanks guys! @Darkside- I think that the swim platform is still the same standard size, used previously on 240's. I think the angle of the picture makes it look smaller than it actually is! @PayCheck- One of my sponsors, Insane Customs, is going to take care of all of the stereo work; I will post pictures whenever it is complete!

Great, airs and 360s are a great foundation for lots of tricks. Also, being goofy is no problem; the same principal applies to both sides of the wake. I am really looking forward to coming and meeting everyone. If anyone else has any more requests let me know. -

Hey I have been thinking, if you are the winner of the lessons, what kind of tricks would you like to work on? -

I'm really looking forward to this event and also looking forward to meet everyone from centurion crew. Thanks for including me in the event and giving me the opportunity to come meet and ride with everyone. -
Hey Bob, start dropping as far back in the wave as you can. Then pump forward gaining speed as you pump up and down the middle of the wave. As you move up the wave and gain speed spot the point on the lip that you want to launch off of. Do a slight bottom turn toward the spot on the lip that you want to launch off of, make sure you do this in rhythm with your pumping so you can use the momentum and energy you gained while pumping. As you ollie off of the lip, the height of the air is dependent on how high you bring your knees up. First, press on your back foot slightly and try to bring your front knee as high up to your chin as possible. Next, bring your back knee as high up as possible. The height of your air is dependent on how high you can bring your back knee, so flexibility is key. Here is a sequence shot of my buddy Alec Wood.
