@Wish I replaced your post with the above

Awesome to see Jaeden Eade on the RO!  Home lake, home boat, will be pulling for him to ski well!

 

 

[Shell]

Regina on a new Goode??

[DW]

Thanks @Horton for posting the schedule, reminded me to watch round 1 as the weather in Michigan is less than optimum today.

And RJ is a full line length ahead at this point.  I wondered that @Shell myself, it also has no model description.  She did ski similar blue one at the last tourney based on the podium pic.

Interesting comments from a couple of the skiers on boat pull, 'linear & lack of swing'.

[Shell]

@DW exactly and I seen it at the previous tournament as well, 

[LeonL]

Asher said basically that it took him 4 passes to get a feel for the boat. Hmm!

What brand does he train with?

[Horton]

@LeonL

Asher skis with JT a lot so Nautique. 

(I am done complaining about the Nautique. Now I just gripe about how different the boats are.)

[DW]

FW even commented on it.  What does he train behind? (yep rhetorical question).

[LeonL]

Move the jump, huh?  Kyle Eade said that they've got it down to a science.  Not so much I don't guess.  That's never a minor thing.

[Sethro]

It looked to me like there was possibly an issue with the weeds from moving the jump causing a delay.

Seems I'm seeing more nautique footage than Mastercraft today, lol.

What octane are they running? 🤪

This boat is a 6.0L per the twbc graphic. Is that accurate?

Winter has a 6.2 Prostar this year at TBD so if that is a 6.0, yeah I’d suspect it would be different. 
 

Im always surprised hearing pro skiers complaining or commenting about the boats, especially at the Malibu Open last year. Do they not take the time and effort to go get sets behind boats besides their normal tug? 
 

[Broussard]

@UWSkier Both the slalom and jump boats for the event are 6.2L. 

[Cooper_Trelawney]

Another great event with an excellent webcast by TWBC.  I enjoyed the Kiwi team of Kyle Eade and Aaron Larkin doing slalom commentary.

Got to watch some great slalom and jump too.  Freddy Krueger is amazing,  jumping 230+ in both rounds and taking the win.  The guy is 48 and is jumping like he's 28.

[DW]

Gotta love the kiwinglish broadcast.  Great job.

[RAWSki]

Nate has got to be a little sore this morning?  Ouch!

In a sport where moving a fin .005" of an inch is said to have an impact, I have to think that running over clumps of seaweed at least once a pass would be problematic for the skier. Could that help explain why a number of these elite skiers had unexpected bobbles/issues?

Just about every pass, on at least one of the turns, you can see  seaweed fly up out of the water, and sometimes during the cut or pre-turn as well. Just one example that I happened to catch and remember: Paige Rini from Round 1, 38', a pass she is usually good for, right before she has a bad turn at 3 ball, throws up 2 different sprays of seaweed:

Oh also, Corey Vaughn with the absolutely hilarious Reserve card interview of Wade🤣:

Corey’s interview of Wade was my highlight. Dane’s 41 a close 2nd. Easily skier of the day. Wow. 

[lpskier]

@Mastercrafter At least for slalom they ran a three blade prop, and that had a negative impact (vs. a four blade) for at least one skier.
