That looks so cool James. Did you book private time?

jdjjamesz 04-02-2009 1:57 PM

yeah, they fixed the bottom on the pool so the wave is better.

James, when you gonna come down and ride Perris with us &amp; film? Damn near trunking weather here &amp; lake is still empty. <BR> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" border=0>

jdjjamesz 04-02-2009 7:37 PM

whats the water temp right now,and when does that lake start getting packed,that would be the perfect back drop.

dbh_brad 04-02-2009 9:15 PM

Jealous. Who all went ? <BR> <BR>Did the chlorine darken your hair? <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/smile.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>What board worked well at Typhoon?

notsobueno 04-02-2009 10:05 PM

Water temp today was 65 and i was surprised to see two or three other wake boats out during the week. Usually it is us and fishermen. I'd say by the end of this month for sure, the crowds will be back.

duffymahoney 04-03-2009 8:36 AM

Hows the switchblade bennett trim tab combo working? Did you get it installed?

jdjjamesz 04-03-2009 8:48 AM

yeah but its being funky still got to play around with it and,to put the electric trim tab is going to be hard my boat guy treid but it might not work,so we put one on that you do by hand.

jdjjamesz 04-03-2009 8:52 AM

Brad what up,yeap it was nuts im ready to go back,I rode a 6/0fish in those pics and the placebo,the placibo works good.there was video on mobgroup of it on the placebo, but now its the old video on the surfing 2 page on my fish.and I died my hair black.

duffymahoney 04-03-2009 10:40 AM

Did you put your old plate on with the hinge and the turnbuckles? That would work, but you would loose a large amount of play. Talk to switchblade, it can be done, and hopefully someone is putting it on there enzo as we speak. <BR> <BR>Duffy

jdjjamesz 04-03-2009 10:59 AM

the problem is making it so it doesnt hit the switchblade because if its not done right you will get alot of roaster,the switchblade loves to roaster when your trying to make a big wave so it takes alot of playing around,im almost thinking its not going to handle alot of weight with the electric plate.

jdjjamesz 04-03-2009 11:01 AM

yeah im relizing it might not be worth putting it on beacause you can only pull the plate up a hair before it roasters.thats why I tryed this first.

duffymahoney 04-03-2009 11:07 AM

So I guess I don't get what your problem is? The hydraulic plate- electric plate if it fits, should calm the rooster tail. The bennett plate is 9 inches long and has around 2.5" inches of travel. The stock plate with turnbuckles is shorter around 7 inches. What size plate are you using?

jdjjamesz 04-03-2009 11:31 AM

about 12 inchs the shorter it is the more it roasters on you

jdjjamesz 04-03-2009 11:37 AM

Heres the take off on the right ,you have to take off on the wall about a inch away.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/559019/683854.jpg" alt="Upload">

jdjjamesz 04-04-2009 7:57 AM

hawaj 04-04-2009 5:55 PM

amazing, how much you pay for it James?

jdjjamesz 04-04-2009 6:27 PM

1100 during the week and 1200 on weekends and if you do the aframe wave, two people can ride and it ends up being 130 waves a day you get some friends do go in on it,if you got four friends to do it .That would be 300 each a day plus you get the whole place to yourself.
