  1. 80miles when I was in college team.

    Had to take train right after my class finishes on Friday(around 7pm)

    then, 3 and half hours of train ride, arrive at station around half 10pm.

    sometimes we had to walk 3 miles to our club house after train ride.

    Start practice when the sun goes up and finish when the sun goes down.

    Earliest and longest was , Wake up at 3:40 ,start skiing from 4:30 , finish around 7 pm.

    It was tough schedule but also good memories.

  2. I just took a first set on WF today.

    I was very surprised how fast it was and tip of the ski stays down.

    Wider for the gate easily, and get lot of speed with little effort into the wakes. First 2 or 3 passes, i had to adjust the timing. I was very nervous about the fin and settings first but I was totally comfortable on last 3 passes.

    Even though I was kinda over-speed into the buoy, tip of the ski stayed down and just kept going.

    I just need to take couples of more sets to get used to it and see how I should tune my fin. I feel great potentials on this fin already and exited for season ahead! Thank you @SkiJay !

  3. I was watching Moomba and saw Sacha was using yellow Connelly GT(maybe 2018). but Magic Malibu Pro Am from last year he was using GTR in Rd1 and Philosophy( if I remember the name right) was the ski for Rd2 and Final.

    Before the moomba, He ran 41off on GTR(it was posted on Instagram).

     

    What makes him to use so many different skis?All from Connelly but I'm sure that the ski designs are different.

    I'm curious.

  4. Trying to get out of Japanese level.

    We are(Japanese) too struggling at 15-32off.and so do I. Except Mr.Kurisawa who has Japanese mens slalom record at 4@39/10.75 (2005-6)

     

    Planning to Learn and understand more with @twhisper online video coaching from this spring.

    My goal for this year is run 32 with no problem and run into deep 35 and more than 2 at 38.
