RRP has released its first Ski hull that is especially designed for Freesride use. The new hull features a unique set up of the handle pole which is placed extremely forward compared to any other freestyle or freeride Ski. Additionally the deck is equipped with adjustable foot holes. The new hull can accommodate any type of Ski two-stroke, twin cylinder engine and utilizes a Yamaha OEM driveline and pump. Who ever is already in Lake Havasu City may pass from the RRP booth to admire the unique design and features of the new Rickter hull.

Rick Roy shocked the freestyle market with the adjustable handle pole that was released back in 2005. Three years later Watanabe Fumikazu owner of Bun Freestyle makes one step beyond by launching a fully adjustable handle pole. It features not only adjustable poles but also and adjustable top part (the angle of the turn plate section) that enhances the rider’s ergonomics. Most parts are machine from billet aluminum and the overall construction and quality is in a class of its own. The new Bun Freestyle pole is exhibited in Fennec’s booth in the Performance Alley.

TBM Racing has launched a new ride plate that actually features an adjustable tab at the far end of it. The particular design enhances the maneuverability and the craft’s handling without sacrificing the top speed. It’s a must tool for the weekend warriors as well as the Offshore enthusiasts. The tab is actuated through a lever (soon TBM will release their own trim lever) which adjustable at the rear end, where the cable actually mounts on the ride plate. The reverse bucket can still be used without interfering with the mechanism of the trim tab.

Lee Manvel is the man behind all of those modified hulls that shown up in Lake Havasu City during the World Finals. He had glass them all. The recipe involves a Kawasaki STX-15F bottom with a Sea Doo, Yamaha or Ultra top. You name it and he will do it. That is why most of these hulls use R&D ride plate and trim tabs. According to Lee Manvel the 15F hull has a great potential and it is very stable at high speeds (85+mph).
