Brewski

I foot more than slalom in colder water as I can jump in and out of the boat. My personal boat is an outboard Sanger . I own a dry suit. So unless there is ice........

no longer available.....

@gator1 depending on what type of glue or resin you use you can make it have different flex. You could even back it with fiber and use a rubberized glue like Barge to get return spring action but now were getting into more expensive fabrics and more gluing. I am looking into a waterproof sheet adhesive that is flexible you can lay on the fabric and press and pronto it is permanent. They use it building bullet proof and slash proof clothing and well as racing leathers for SuperBike racing. They bond Kevlar and Spectra with the stuff. Which is super hard to laminate together.

@gator shoot me your address on inbox and I will send you some out......

@gator1 do you want synthetic? It is not stiff at all until the glued or resin sets up. Laminated or do you want to glue it? If you want to laminate it I should cut it 2x as long. Fold long ways or short ways?

@scotchipman I had never had seen one of the TWs~! but saw the ones that US Gear sells and a prototype at Masterline last year. The big hole in the bottom of that thing to get finger in and machined edges being drug through the water towards me in pick up appear to be safety issues. Appears like smaller fingers might go through some of the larger holes also and we teach lots of kid at camp that have tiny fingers..........

Well there is a person who owns a patent google.com.mx/patents/US7959481 on a product like mine, saying I "copied" their patent. (which we all can tell from this forum that I was not copying any design) anyhow until my patent attorney get a noose on this I will no longer make the ones in a triangle so @gator1 ball is in your court let me know what materials I can send you to do testing with.....obviously there has to be a better product than hard plastic. I am good friends with a manufacturer which has a prototype that the patent owner says "did not infringe on the patent" and try to work up a new model but for now these are no longer available.........

@gator1 Wow that thing is wild. What happens when it slingshots into the ski or air or hits anything? Zip ties alone could do some damage....

It will not work like a funnel it is really designed to keep your head out but holds it weight like leather enough to keep hands, arms and skis out also and unlike plastic rigid and semi rigid products it should prevent not increase the possible risk of injuries to skier and skis from impact.

@ToddL Thanks, Great pix. That red come really close. I will trim up the SL template 1/4" so it sits more in the middle instead of one side or diagonally. Let me know also on the USG. I had 2 templates on it so it should be closer.

@BlueSki what handle are you using? I have templates now for US Gear, Masterline, Straight Line, InTow (same as ML)

I decided to make these available. No one will like the pricing but it is what it is. Plates will be made later in the month/early November depending when my machine shop can fit them in. Right now he is finishing up my speedskating mounts that are super high priority then the plates have to be worked in. Plates are going to be limited first production run 10 front 10 back of each material. They will be available in .125 7075 Aerospace Aluminum or .125" Carbon Matrix which is similar to G-10 but stonger/lighter and designed to work in high performance applications instead of making electronic circuit boards. Custom Boots, Plates, and No Noose are now on my website www.kohensport.com

*****All current orders have shipped.**** I found the best way to lace them is to use the zip ties to hold it the distance from the handle you want, zip tie in place, fold lace in half and run through bottom eyelet to begin lacing, lace to top on each side and half hitch tighten each side a couple of times to get tight then knot. I cut the original zip tie then placed a zip tie over the knot to keep it from slipping. I am sure someone with knowledge of knots can come up with a nice wrap for us. I have not run a bungee for lace purposes yet but will when the new handle gets here for testing but it is a little thick compared to the Spectra and I want a static connection on my personal handle so I will not use it to lace with but will be testing them in the middle to see how it feels.

The Reflex release mechanism is the way to go......

Nice

@Marco Thanks, I will make you up something nice. You may like the new Titanium Carbon or Black Carbon

@Hipsup I started at the middle at the bottom. Folded the line in half and put it through the eyelets, laced it up through, tied the end and wrapped with 1 zip tie to hold in place at the top. I will figure out how to eliminate that zip tie with practice and my nautical knot chart....

@Brian_M Moc is super cool. Spectra comes in the white only. Bungee will be in black. I will include both. Spectra is super light super strong, soft, no stretch, almost completely unnoticeable and UV proof..I am really liking it so far. Another Spectra Laced in...
