@ballsohard I have to rewatch the video. I watched it earlier in the week when I had a nasty head cold and couldn't really concentrate.

For what its worth I think my Nano1 is a deep riding ski. In a lot of ways it feels very similar to the Connelly GT I was riding the last few years. The only difference I would say is with the wider fore-body I feel like I get a little extra support on the Goode since I have a bad tendency to crush on the exit of the turn (likely do to a number of faults before that). When I was reading past ski reviews I liked the comments of the stability and I have noticed a number of situations where I think I saved a turn that I wouldn't have pulled out before.

That being said, one area I have struggled with this ski especially initially is getting wide early This may lead to that double pump which is probably due to my poor execution of keeping the handle in and low through the edge change. I received similar feedback from Terry Winter earlier in the summer on that and its been one area I have been trying to work at. I feel like with the Goode it shuts down pretty quickly and if if I am not riding the handle out I can ski narrow.

Anyway season is done for the year so I only have 6 or 7 months to think about all the things I need to fix next year...

I dont think the record has been made official but Northern Ca seems to be the mecca of 90+ year old waterskiing...

what options are there for memberships?

Considering relocating the family at somepoint (out of N. Ca) and my wife wants something that has 4 seasons but not so far north that its insanely cold. I want to be near mountains. But would like to not give up the slalom course.

Prefer to stay near the west coast.

What options do I have?

Here js the Bimini on my 02. I believe it is original to the boat but was never used until 2016 by the original owner.

@Horton is there anyway you can get a interview with Regina to have her walk through this pass and what was going through her mind?

If this isn't the logo for BOS I don't know what is.

This is truly amazing physical feat and I can only imagine the type of strength and sheer determination it must take to pull this off.

Radar makes race skis?

Is that girl even wearing gloves?

Paid coaching is where I would start. One lesson from a good coach would likely save tons of headache trying to figure it out yourself.

Horton posted about the benefits for his ski partner and how much of a difference a lesson from a legit coach made. Ill try and find the post.

@Horton @ToddL

So what your saying is you burn more fuel the faster the engine spins?

Can you track how many gallons that are burned in an average 6 pass set?

Not skiing or boating related... but still randomness on the internet.

I'm in the same boat. The black frame needs to be repainted. Since its worn where the original owners put the mirror and on the passenger side where the dock line rubs against it.

I much prefer the aluminum from later years. Would be interested in the process to do that.

@thager would you just use a paint stripper?

I think whatever you are hearing about fit and finish is from older models.

I understand not considering a brand because they don't make a model that fits your needs. I wont buy a Toyota because they don't offer the crew cab with a 6'+ bed.
