Baller MattP Posted July 26, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted July 26, 2013 They are waiting 1min45sec to calm the water but will not wait longer because there would be less action on the water for spectators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Chef23 Posted July 26, 2013 Baller Share Posted July 26, 2013 It looks like a wall on the right side that would cause some major rollers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted July 26, 2013 Supporting Member Share Posted July 26, 2013 @chef23 that's exactly what I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted July 26, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted July 26, 2013 At the end of the day sometimes we all must realize that it is about getting the sport infront of people. Even if that means taking a shorter wait time to ensure spectator enjoyment over shorter lines. I will take it. Spectators that do not know the sport will not notice the difference in scores at 38 or 39. Look at what was accomplished at Soaked last year! Lets be glad that the IOC allows waterskiing in the World Games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted July 27, 2013 Supporting Member Share Posted July 27, 2013 All true @MattP. I don't think anybody was complaining about the scores; just being curious why they were almost 2 full passes below typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted July 27, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted July 27, 2013 @than_bogan I know I thought it was an appropriate time to voice my opinion on the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jcamp Posted July 27, 2013 Baller Share Posted July 27, 2013 Heard from a skier that it's rolly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Kelvin Posted July 27, 2013 Baller Share Posted July 27, 2013 Talked to Martin Bartalsky before he left. Ideal wait times would be over 3 min on each end, but then they wouldn't be able to finish the tournament in a reasonable amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
