    First rides on 2016 Vapor

    in Skis Fins Bindings

    Posted

    @block I would for sure try them, its great to change it up and try something new, and you have your old numbers, so if you don't like the new ones just go back. I have skied a ton of settings on this ski and have found multiple settings that work. Also, Going forward with the fin affects tip sensitivity.

    What Makes the Difference 35off

    Like @Horton said, 35 is where more polished technical skills are needed. In my mind I always say 35 is where the gate becomes more important and without a correct gate it becomes a lot harder then it is. Also confidence, sooner or later it just becomes another pass you don't think about it.

    This could be good for ski lake owners . . .

    So the story of this is pretty interesting, I know a family that owns a private ski lake near by and told me some details. The lake that Kelly Slater used for the wave pool used to be Sunrise ski lake, it was a ski school. When the owners decided to sell, Kelly picked the lake up. The lake then was drained and the whole floor is covered in concrete. The power for the machine is borrowed from an air base miles away. There is a 10 foot wall around the whole property. the whole lake project was about $5,000,000 I heard, that doesn't count the research involved before hand.

    Hey everyone,

     

    @brooks Wilson will be out in Bakersfield, CA for 2 days doing a clinic on July 8-9. There are 18 slots for each day. $50.00 a set. We did a clinic at the same lake around the same time last year and it was super successful. Brooks is hands down of the best coaches in our sport and one of the coolest dudes to hang around with. So hurry and get your name in! ke3picyh3qnf.png

     

    Initiating the turn

    in Technique & Theory

    Posted

    @mwetskier lead isn't the right word, your left hip isn't going to be in front of the other, but by rotating that left hip which is a slight movement your starting the initiation of the ski flowing underneath you, Your right hip will fall into place once you start loading the rope, I completely missed it was for a lefty, I skimmed over it and just started writing.

    @solski like @Horton said when I stand in my glide I think about just standing up, and I use the handle as a pivot point like planting a ski pole and you rotate around it. Be sure to stand far forward on your front foot, and I think about taking that left hip and twisting it and leading with it. so the ski can turn underneath you. This will allow you to create angle without loading the rope because your standing over your ski not tipping back. You'll find yourself with more space, and not a ton of speed at 1 ball so it sets up the rhythm of the course. This is because you didn't start your actual "pull" until the white wash not way out wide off the side of the boat. Hope this helps, it takes practice but once you master it; everything clicks...

    Tight steering 2014 SN 200

    @mbabiash I have a 2014 SN 200 as well, not every boat has it as it's an option. If yours has one there's a grease fitting under the floor board behind the engine cover, its on the left side of the rudder shaft. The grease fitting has a line connected to it that goes to the back of the boat.
