Baller ToddL Posted March 8, 2022 Baller Share Posted March 8, 2022 Does has anyone engineered a super efficient solution to put in / remove (sink) the mini course? The scenario is a lake where trick path is right over the mini course buoys. There are time demands/limits, so the ability to quickly transition from trick to mini slalom is a necessity. No, the practice sets cannot be scheduled such that they never alternate. Depth is roughly 6-8 ft, so somewhat over head, but not crazy deep. Idea #1: Sink them - how far under the water would be sufficient to clear a trick boat prop? Mechanics of doing this? Anchor ropes through large carabiners at anchor points and pulled to shore, attached there? Other ideas? Idea #2: Sub-buoy them - same concern as #1. Best practices for sub-buoy setups given this scenario? Idea #3: Quick release at anchor point, but how to make this easier to find, do? Guide rope from anchor to shoreline? Other ideas? Type of "quick release/attached" solutions? Large clips, magnets, other crazy brainstorm ideas? Any best practices to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Andre Posted March 8, 2022 Baller Share Posted March 8, 2022 I would quick connect to sub bouys 30" below surface. Most ski boat have a draft of 22-24". My ski finish in 16.95 but my ass is out of tolerance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ToddL Posted March 8, 2022 Author Baller Share Posted March 8, 2022 @Andre - I am thinking that at a trick speed (with wake-enhancing weight, etc.) the draft might be a bit deeper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LoopSki Posted March 8, 2022 Baller Share Posted March 8, 2022 Go 3ft sub bouy disconnect. You’re only having to do three of them right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ToddL Posted March 8, 2022 Author Baller Share Posted March 8, 2022 Ideally, only 3, but might as well be consistent and do the same rig on the other side's 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LoopSki Posted March 8, 2022 Baller Share Posted March 8, 2022 I’ll think the fastest way to do it would be with a golf cart and three people. Drop one off at one ball , three ball , and then go to five ball . swimming to disconnect , drop it on the shoreline . then do it in reverse when you’re done with the trick set.

Baller_ lpskier Posted March 8, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted March 8, 2022 Put your mini course in with anchors that have an eye bolt and connect a stainless block to it. Run your mini course buoy to a sub, sub connected to a line that goes through the block to a fixed place on shore. Pull the line in on shore to sink the mini course buoy when it’s time to trick.

Baller_ RichardDoane Posted March 9, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted March 9, 2022 Sounds like a Dr. Jim Michael’s version for your trick course, but pulled down instead of narrower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skihacker Posted March 9, 2022 Baller Share Posted March 9, 2022 It's the custom lapoint ski park submersible system, just missing the garage door opener, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
