  1. This was by far THE best tournament I’ve attended. They were spinning @ -35 and shortening to -38 behind the island. Set down at the other end and with virtually no wait change to -39 and get after it. Run that to give them as much time as possible at -41 The only stipulation was that you must run the previous pass to get scored on your hardest pass. Crashes didn’t count. When they fall, the boat would spin quickly sending a huge roller down course. Rope comes tight and away they go. Seeing someone spin -41’s was impressive.

    Thanks to all the people at Radar for putting on such a great show.

  2. The reason I’ve chosen to not renewed my membership is that it’s tough to go to a tournament and pay the entry fee only to get a few passes and a swimming lesson. The value just isn’t there for me. I can sit at my lake and ski as many passes as my hands will take and the boat picks me up every time. Not against swimming, just hard to make it pencil. I will say that this year I will renew, I think all the practice will at least allow me to make 3 passes.
  3. I was an INT competitor for two years. Enjoyed competing with guys and girls of my same ability. My goal was to always stand on the dock with the short line guys and be competitive. That got me hooked. The only reason I stopped and I think others have joined in not participating is current managemen of INT. Since then I've bought a ski lake lot and into a new 200. Knowing now the amount of commitment it takes to reach short line status, It seems that a handicap system would take away from what it means to be a -39 skier. The reason I don't compete in AWSA is b/c I'm not ready yet.
