Surfski transportion safety rudder flags

I transport my ski on a standard size 4-door coupe which is roughly 16 feet long but the ski is 21.5 ft long. Technically it must be hanging over 6 feet behind my vehicle to require a safety flag; however, I choose to place a flag on the end to avoid accidental damage. The ski is white so joggers, bicyclists, cars, etc may not see it and cause damage. Standard kayak transport flags won't do because they all tie off some attachment point on the end. Many skis do not have any attachment points past the rudder. Shopping for a tail flag took hours of research. First of all what do I call it, "surfski transport flag", "kayak flag"etc? The correct name is "surfski rudder flag". Unbelievably, it seems that only a few places in the world make rudder flags designed to fit the unique shape of a surfski. Here are my top choices: 1) ocean paddle sports makes a great orange flag with black netting that securely attaches with a tail sock and adjustable parachute cord. 2) epic australia makes a nice long rudder flag. http://www.epickayaks.net.au/shop/rudder-flag.html 3)Blast makes a unique orange flag with a strip of reflective material on it. This would definitely be my #1 choice for night visibility. 4)Mocke makes the most affordable flag at only $10. http://www.surfskisport.com/epages/62132843.mobile/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/62132843/Products/%22Mocke%20Traffic%20Flag%22 So who makes the best flag? They all seem to be good quality and each has its advantages. I travel with my ski mostly during daylight hours so I chose the ocean paddle sports flag. The epic flag is the longest so I would assume it provides the greatest visibility in daytime. The blast flag provides the best day & night travel visibility with the reflective strips. The mocke flag is the least expensive option. Whichever you choose, expect to pay only $10 to $20. I hope I was able to save you time shopping the world.

Surfski Repair

Surfski Repair (Step by step guide) While standing on a floating dock and removing the boat from the water one evening, my grip slipped and it fell on a dock tie.  The impact placed a small indent in the ski.  I knew I was in trouble because I knew nothing about boat repair.  I immediately called my friend & surfski training partner Brent.  He offered to help each evening after work to repair the surfski.  I quickly realized that my seemingly bad situation had afforded me a great opportunity to learn from someone who has extensive experience in professional auto body repair and had repaired surfskis before.  If this ever happened again in the future, I would have the experience behind me to fix it myself.  In repairing the ski we wanted to create a solid repair that didn't add unnecessary weight, was easy on the budget and made the ski look like it did originally.  Below are the steps we took to repair it: 1.  Create cardboard cut out of the hull curve so that as we re

Outdoor storage of surfski

Image
I moved into a smaller house with a garage that is not big enough to store a 22' surfski. Here is how I properly stored my ski outdoors without sun or moisture damage in sunny high humidity Florida. I looked online and all the covers seem so expensive. I thought about it alot & finally got the perfect solution.  I picked up an industrial thickness white vinyl tarp cover.  Don't use the cheaper home depot variety.  Get the high quality thick industrial stuff in white.  I cut it in strips so that I could cover several boats.  I also found a silver/gray elasticized gray boat cover which someone got rid of (likely for a 20 foot boat) which I lay over the white vinyl.  Two layers of protection.  How fortunate!  Its elastic ends fit perfectly over my surfski. I use 4 straps to keep the cover firmly in place in high winds.  I store it in the shade of the trees and pool screen to keep it cool.  Finally, if you need to, you can run a combo lock cable thru the venturi port to protec

My first surfski a Futura sport

Image
I raced and surfed this boat for at least 5 years.  It's very tough.  I originally picked this up from a guy in Orlando.  I was looking for a retro Magnum P.I. type surfski.  I didn't know about the high-tech carbon fiber models at the time.  I later used it as a trainer for newbies.  My brother-in-law now owns it.  The stripes, handles, and seat padding I added to it.  It had metal rudder cables, aluminum kick-up rudder, and aluminum rudder pedals. Very durable to own for many years.  I'm glad to have owned a classic boat as well as the modern ones.  There are rivers I was able to race in this one that I wouldn't have considered bringing a more expensive lighter boat.
