Baller Oldkier Posted May 16, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 16, 2021 Dane Mechler ran 5 @ 41 off yesterday and he is 5ft 10in on a good day, who is the record holder for the shortest person to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller matthewbrown Posted May 17, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 17, 2021 Terry has run 5@41, same as Dane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RGilmore Posted May 17, 2021 Members Share Posted May 17, 2021 I don't know if Wim DeCree (at 5'7") ever ran -41, but if he didn't it certainly wasn't for lack of skill or trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller matthewbrown Posted May 17, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 17, 2021 @RGilmore he was a pretty skier but was a 2@39 guy when the heat was on, not even in the same league as Terry or Dane. I’m not sure how tall Caldwell is but he’s run 2-1/2 @41 at a pro tournament and you know there’s more in the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller matthewbrown Posted May 17, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 17, 2021 Also Marcus Brown ran deep 41 a couple times at maybe 5’10”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ScottScott Posted May 17, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 17, 2021 I can't speak for "when the heat is on" but the video of Wim running 39 looked pretty smooth. Woulda liked to see him continue on to 41 to see how far he got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller matthewbrown Posted May 17, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 17, 2021 I believe 1@41 was his highest average for Wim among 2 different tournaments as listed on the world ranking list back in 2007. That being said he was definitely the shortest skier through 39. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller AdamCord Posted May 17, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 17, 2021 @adamhcaldwell is 5’9” and his PB in record tournaments are 3.5@41@36 and 1.5@43@34. Insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller matthewbrown Posted May 17, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 17, 2021 @AdamCord exactly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted May 18, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted May 18, 2021 Hmmm. So just maybe strength to weight ratio, technique, mental intensity, and equipment tuning has more to do with performance than height or reach??? Who woulda thunk it? If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller CBR51 Posted May 18, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 18, 2021 I realize the thread says OM. But the shortest person to run 41 at 34 or 36 might be Regina soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller matthewbrown Posted May 21, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 21, 2021 @CBR51 are you saying that Regina could possibly run 41@36, or are you simply stating that out of the two options of running 41 at 34 or 36, if Regina ran it at 34 she would be the shortest person ever to run 41 at either speed? Hard to tell the way it’s written but I am assuming the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller CBR51 Posted May 21, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 21, 2021 I meant 34 only. Sorry it wasn’t clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller matthewbrown Posted May 21, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 21, 2021 @CBR51 she will probably do it soon. She’s literally only a couple buoys off the men’s 34mph record and if she runs 41 and gets 1@43, she’d be right there with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skihart Posted May 21, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 21, 2021 How tall is Regina? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller matthewbrown Posted May 22, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 22, 2021 I think she’s somewhere between 5’4” and 5’6” but I think closer to the lower end of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller slow Posted May 22, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 22, 2021 5’6” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller AdamCord Posted June 14, 2021 Baller Share Posted June 14, 2021 5’9” @adamhcaldwell pulled up just inside of 5 ball at 41 yesterday at the Trophy Lakes record tournament skiing 36mph! New PB 4@41 at the age of 38, will be 39 next month. He’s been testing skis and fin settings nonstop this spring so I think he only rode the c85 he’s on now for less than a week leading up to the tourney.

Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted June 14, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted June 14, 2021 Reggie is 5'4" maybe!! I have pulled her many times through and into 41 at 35 mph. As she has been known to practice at that speed. In tournament I have pulled her 2 @41off . One thing everyone needs to understand is she has run 39 behind more different driver and boat combinations at most every competitions then any other skier both men and women. Her strength to weight ratio is off the chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
