yeah thats a sweet video....but it looks like all those are all modified RXPS, which is still cool.... In the video i saw lots of turing and it seemed like the RXPS are very responsive, did anyone mod the steering or cant you do that, or is that all stock???? When modding ur ski are ju basically modding the speed of the ski and not anything else or you modding the way it can turn sharper or wut??

Install some sharp sponsons and forget about 360s (which are the trademark of every idiot on every lake worldwide) to discover lateral Gs and carving at high speed.
Of course the RXP isn't the ideal boat for that but that's what you got so just do it.

Alright well wut will these sponsons allow me to do and wut else would there be to do on a lake with an RXP w/o doin any 360's or spins???

You can do subs if you don't mind your reverse gate to go bye bye.
Carving at high speed.
Go fast in straight line.
Offshore Drilling.
The RXP is too big to jump wakes so either you get a stand up or move where there's some surf to jump.

If I wasn't living next to the ocean I probably wouldn't ride at all, I hate lakes.

ALright well i would prb. care if it went bye bye so i prob dont want to risk that, and also u wont get any air at all bc its so heavy???? Cause if u cant that sucks!!!

Also wut is Offshore drilling??

You can definately get air with an rxp. I have and rxp and rxt and I get air with the rxp. I can with the rxt also but not as easily.

[11]

Define "air"?

Because if it's less than 5 or 6 feet over the level of water then it's not "air", it's porpoising.

[jack]

That is your definition 11. If you are on a lake and just a 3 foot boat wake you can get air. I like going out on the ocean here when the seas are 3 to 5 ft and you can catch air too. That is jumping a wave. Period.

I know the RXP is not going to jump wave like a stand up or smaller skis, that is obvious but that was not the question.

The question was

"also u wont get any air at all bc its so heavy???? "

And the answer is simply, Yes you can. If you are jumping a wave and you are 4 feet in the air, is that not catching air? Although I am not experianced or brave enough to catch any real big air, there are guys that do it on an rxp.

Of course then you may have to deal with the TOPS.
