  1. Yep and with skiing comes the ups and downs. I was running multiple back to back + 35's when the water was about 12-15 degrees warmer and then suddenly I started struggling a bit. We video and coach each other but I wanted some more input. Why not go to the best for a quick look!! It's really easy and worthwhile. I'm happy to have something to work on in my easier passes as we close out the year, too.
  2. During ski season I can wear myself out pretty good and generally just feel like I can't eat enough. Constant hunger. I'm not saying that I have low blood sugar because I'm not sure that is the case. But I do feel that a good solution has been to add electrolytes. If I drink a Propel (zero cal but definitely has chemical flavor additives) between breakfast and lunch it can totally change how good I feel and turns off some of my hunger issues. Not sure at all if this can be a solution for you but I just think I know how you feel. Everyone is different.
  3. Not sure if I should post this in the Short/Deep vs Long/Shallow forum...but I am ski specific and have felt a change since the water warmed up a bit. Leaning towards going shorter and deeper....maybe not quite THIS much but @Horton was nice enough to recommend:

     

    Warm Water

    28.75

    6.830 (tips)

    2.495

    .703

    9

     

    Anyone having a similar feels or making similar changes?? i'm pretty close to stock. I went from being stunned by my off side turn (was LOVING it) to not quite burying the tip but definitely not finishing the turn. Much less comfortable/confident. I'm currently 28.75, 6.848, 2.491 deep side, .707 9degree. thx

  4. Hi guys,

     

    2015 Nautique. The water temperature sensor is paired up with the depth finder in a bi-ducer right below the engine. The depth finder works fine. The water temperature read out is now always 0.00 degrees. Anyone have similar issues with a 3yr old boat? The bi-ducer is a $475 part plus installation. Hard to justify the expense for something I can estimate pretty close on my own by dipping a toe in the water. Any input is greatly appreciated. I will definitely share if solved.

  5. They all land in the same spot at the first spray with what it looks like a tremendous amount of front foot pressure with nicely bent knees which leads to an easy transition at center line. That Will Asher pass is the one I can't stop watching. Coming out of almost all of those turns...he looks like he leads with the upper body more than the others....foot is on the gas big time....3 ball for a RFF...insane

  6. Going to buy a Wakeye XT One w/ the shock tube attachment for our club and wanted to ask 2 (well really 3) questions for those who use it.

     

    1. Sturdy enough for club use?? I'm concerned about wear and tear / performance issues over time with every day use by multiple skiers. Anyone using this product in a similar way??

     

    2. Is the XT One attachment a quick and easy transition between skiers?? Concerned about the time it will take to switch phones/cameras in and out of the xt-one holder. Would it make more sense to have a couple of xt-one attachments on hand to reduce the transition times??

     

    Thanks for any and all opinions/advice. Please don't offer up any negative opinions because I already know Wakeye works hard to make a quality product. I just want to learn a bit more about what it takes to maintain in and keep it working under heavy use. Nothing against my club pals but I'll just mention GIANT slack hits to the pylon. :smile:

  7. @Horton I'm not near as technically good as you for sure. I agree probably me. I had read other guys post about it as well and thought it was a trait of the ski. Was never a serious issue at all. I LOVED the original and was curious if that was the reason for a small tweak. I have less of an issue with tip rise on the ski i'm on now, thankfully...but still working on cleaning everything up.
