I got the idea from watching the wake on my Echelon which was propped for barefooting. I was just driving around with a lot of people in the boat on the starboard side and when I went to plane out I...

I've seen some big improvement on the Darkside by using a 3 blade prop with big blades(suface space almost equal to a 4 blade prop with the proper cup for more hull shot. I think it is what was used...

I used a blow dryer and a lot of patience pulling off small pieces at a time. It also was Xtrak traction on a TWP Bullet. Then, wiped it with Iso. Alcohol till it was clean.

Jeff, how does the board handle the landing after getting air. Not just being strong enough not to break, but being so thin do the landings tend to bury the board under the water (pearling). We use...
