QuoteReplyTopic: Hydroturf Side Lifter Wedges Posted: 16/Mar/2010 at 9:05pm
I have ordered a Hydroturf kit and side lifter wedges for my superjet along with hydroturf recommended glue was just wondering whether any of you guys have fitted the side lifter wedges before and will the same glue for the mat kit work for the side lifter wedges? Also is the height to mount the lifter wedges just personal prefference i.e. where feels most comfortable for my foot to catch it?
Mainly becuase i didn't want to go the the extend of fitting foot holds just now plan was to use side lifter wedges for a while and see how i get on maybe add foot holds at a later date. Only got the ski last year so still practicing
Yea iv had a shot of one with footholds on loch lommond where i did notice a big difference but i usually ride in the sea where they aren't so necessary to do a decent jump

arent necessary to jump - but are necessary to keep attached to ski
back to your question , i do think the glue supplied for the turf will be right for the lifters
Janker tried the lifter wedges a few years ago, he couldn't get on with them as the tray is not wider with them fitted & they ripped off after a couple of weeks

hi,speaking of glue or adhesive.just wonderin can i use anykind of contact adhesive to stick on my new hydroturf mats with. a mate gave me a can of gripfill high strenght contact adhesive,and im thinkin of usin it.do any1 have any experience on using other different kinds of adhesive other than the recommended types.any advice would be helpfull.
The lifters are fine as a stop gap before fitting footholds. I had lots of fun with mine and they work well for getting to grips with doing bigger jumps by being able to lift up the back of the ski.
I used a contact adhesive we had at work and it worked fine but they do come off after a while. the stuff for the hydro turf might work but i would try to find something stronger (and I guess water resistant).
But, if you your not fitting footholds right away side lifters are a great idea for a while but in the end you will fit footholds..
