Baller Ali Posted November 5, 2021 Author Baller Share Posted November 5, 2021 Any BOS folks coming along to watch live? For those of you who have not been to GMSC, great site with trees and buildings along each bank. We have 5 slalom courses including a true 8 ball course. Any volunteers who want to help out let me know. Still plenty of things to do leading up to the big weekend. Cheers Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Ali Posted November 11, 2021 Author Baller Share Posted November 11, 2021 Interesting twist for 3rd round. 8 will have already qualified for the finals, normal style. Then everybody who did not qualify has the chance in the 3rd round Sunday morning to pick up the 9th spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Mateo_Vargas Posted November 11, 2021 Baller Share Posted November 11, 2021 What's the water like there? Is it salt water or brackish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Roger Posted November 11, 2021 Baller Share Posted November 11, 2021 @Mateo_Vargas - It's fresh and deep (not too clean though). Warehouses on both sides so good protection unless north or south wind. Rollback can be bad depending on depth at the time. Seen wait times from 60 to 120. I feel it's a tad slower than Okeeheelee, have been some great scores there in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted November 11, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted November 11, 2021 Because of TWBC I’ve been looking forward to watching these tournaments this season just as much as The Hot Summer Nights on ESPN back in the day. That’s actually saying a lot. The flat screen, snacks and comfy chair will be ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ali Posted November 12, 2021 Author Baller Share Posted November 12, 2021 Not at all brackish, very deep, water is clean but occasionally we get debris flying across from folks throwing litter away. We try and do regular canal clean ups especially before tournaments. Lake is 30 feet deep!! So skis slow as water is warm but fast as it is deep. hard to describe. If you ski well it feels great if you ski badly is goes to crap fast, at least for me. As @Roger said only north or south winds hurt us. Skied in 30-40 mph winds east west before. Forecast is unusual so far for this weekend with very little wind, Normally I expect a 10-15 from somewhere on the east side. Things can change will give wind update later. Or maybe just pass wind details to @TonyLightfoot and he can tell you what crap I talk directly. We do get backwash depending on the wait time and the canal. Nothing the pros can't handle. Saw Sam Dumala this week going on 2 beep of the wait timer on her 38. I would have waited for 4 to even attempt my 28. Psyched for Sat Sun as I am dock starter for 9-11 both days. TWBC are there setting up already today. Met the team. so friendly. Cheers Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted November 12, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted November 12, 2021 @Ali Bit off topic but the history on the ski club and sight might interest a few. What was the intent of those canals? Why were they dug and why so deep? How did skiers acquire access and ultimately form a club with multiple courses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ali Posted November 13, 2021 Author Baller Share Posted November 13, 2021 @Wish huge history there, which I cannot cover after a big day getting everything set up today. It is podcast worthy. A Tony Lightfoot special maybe. I am a member for only a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Killer Posted November 15, 2021 Baller Share Posted November 15, 2021 That was one of Nate's best 41s in the finals and didn't even have a good approach to 1.

Baller Cooper_Trelawney Posted November 15, 2021 Baller Share Posted November 15, 2021 How about Elizabeth Montavan for the dark horse victory and Brian Detrick for second in the men's? Great stuff there! I enjoy skiing more when the outcome isn't an automatic assumption. I wonder if anyone picked the podiums correctly for the TWBC free ski contest?

I messed up though in my previous comment. Detrick was second seed going into the finals but didn't finish in second place, Asher did. My bad.

Baller jhughes Posted November 15, 2021 Baller Share Posted November 15, 2021 Amazing show, so incredible to have waterskiing in our living room multiple weekends this year. Tony's comments were very entertaining particularly his reaction to the EM win "if anyone drew that up they CERTAINLY deserve their Connelly slalom ski" LOL. Well done all around, great show.

Baller RAWSki Posted November 15, 2021 Baller Share Posted November 15, 2021 @Web there was brief mention of Will and T-Gas at the end of the broadcast. Apparently they both finished with the same point total. 216 I believe, some sort of tie break factor then kicked in that went Will's way....not sure what it was. Taking nothing away from Will I thought T-Gas seemed like the more consistent podium skier throughout the season. However he missed a few events mid summer which may have affected the tie-breaker.

Baller_ Wish Posted November 15, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted November 15, 2021 Webcast was so good...my wife sat with me, watched the finals and was into it asking lagit good questions.
