Purpose:  Stock mats fade, warp, rip, or just stink.  Replace with Hydroturf or something similar for a different look and feel.  If you add footwells to a standup, you'll have to replace the turf.

Recommended for:  Anyone modding their hull/tray or anyone unhappy with their current mats.

Difficulty:  Easy when using a kit.  It takes a little more planning and attention to detail for custom jobs where you cut your own sheet.

Tools/Supplies:  

  • eXacto blades (use very fresh razor blades if not eXacto...)

Mod: Blaster Quick-Steer

Purpose: To get some control and maneuverability out of that waveblaster.  Unmodified steering will leave you side-swept in the whitewash.  You need to modify your steering to ensure optimum control of your blaster so that you can turn as sharp as

you need to turn in order to line yourself up perfect at a moment's impulse, to ride that wave, roll off that wave or recover from a wipe out.

Observations: This mod applies to Superjets too.  Only difference is that Superjets come with a pre-drilled steering mod at the turn plate so you only have to move that out and then do the bottom half of the work.

Intended for: *Everyone*!  Why not?  You have nothing to lose.  It will make the ski slightly less stable but that's a good thing.  If you are concerned with stability, I'd recommend a nice three-seater.
