  1. @90kacoupe I lost almost $2k because did not bring up issue with crack like yours immediately upon receiving the ski. It fell apart after few passes and manufacturer told that it is my fault. Claim & change if u can
  2. @Cam with handle guard the consequences could be even worse because the gap between guard and handle is narrower.
  3. I like Manon's RTP but it looks dangerously unreleasable....
  4. Where Omni's are made? I have sad experience with other brand top of the line ski made in China. Thinking about change.
  5. My hymn to soap :) I like soap, even with laced bindings. My current front - T-Factor, rear - Vector. I generously pour soap into both :smile: Why not to use it - soap make things easier & cleaner. I have so much stuff in my ski bag so small bottle of soap does not change anything. Soap is the easiest thing to get - if i forgot it, I can easily steal it from my kitchen!
  6. @BobF can only confirm that Molnlycke is top class company that makes top class products. Some 10 years ago I was distributimg some of their product lines. If I were still with them I would imediately request FOC samples for field testing ))))
  7. Hi All! Deciding which rear boot to choose. I have significant heel lift (up to inch I think) when skiing. Understand that it is not good, but this is what I have )). Rear boot that do not allow heel lift puts me on back leg. For certain period skied in RTP but couple of crashes because of rear foot went out makes me go back to rear boot. Tryed heel cup+Rtp - did not like it. Also dit not like HRT. Currently ski in rear Vector What do you think, Ballers? Which one to chose - Wyley's or Venom? In Wiley's I see some extra rubber to make more room for foot. Venom does not have this option. Thanks in advance!
  8. No skiing already (( Did one hour SUP ride through snow flakes. Air: -3C. Just to be connected to water )))
  9. Check out wetsuit ION Semidry 5/4 It makes a difference. Hot as if you are inside the owen ))
  10. Important to remember that it is still 3mm neoprene. In extreme cold water it is cold no matter dry or wet. Usually when water goes close to 5C or less I wear short 1.5 Camaro inside Oneil fluid. This combination works fine. Also - unlike membrane baggy it holds sweat inside, so after few passes it may get pretty wet.
  11. Oh Yes! Proper amount of this can make you thinking that you are on the tropical beach )))) https://www.healthline.com/health-news/benadryl-challenge-on-tiktok-is-dangerous-experts-say
  12. @S1Pitts Agree. 42/42 here and we ski w/o issues. If it would be no ice (fairy tail) I think we could ski around the year ))
  13. @BraceMaker why not to Swahili? In fact it was just a typo and nothing else... (or elce ? :D )
  14. Even at positive answer from Radar, shipping back and forth from my country would cost another new ski. Talking to dealer is useless. Asking for "how to DIY".
  15. Hi All! Need advice. After one month of usage of new Senate lithium one incert is out and another one is "highly likely" to follow this way. Are there any instruction or manual how to fix this problem?
  16. I am affraid this is a classical catch-22. We want to make this sport more popular in order to make it more available. But the more demand for this activity the less available it becames. Just because of natural restrictions - not enough water surfaces and huge number of obstacles to develop more. The world is driving to sports that could accomodate as many participants as possible on the square as little as possible. Probably the principle "One huge lake for one skier at the time" can not be welcomed by growing population of the earth
  17. O'Neill Fluid Neoprene - the best match to what your friend is looking for (IMO)
  18. Week ago got new wetsuit ION Strike Select it beats my current O'Neil Psyco in all departments: warmer, softer, stretchier, more anatomic etc. This brand is not popular in skiing community, but certainly deserves to glance at.
  19. The thinner breakfast = the thicker suit
  20. Did not know that boat exhaust does not equiped with catalitic system as a every today car. Fair enouhg for nearly 100k boat of 21st century...
  21. It is necessary to agree about criteria before comparison.
