Hi Mark:  I'm planning on skiing at Eden in Feb 5 thru 13.  And I would very much like to checkout your place. Arthur is off on Wednesday so could I come up and take a set with you, please.  Last time when Arthur wasn't available I actually drove to Lauderdale, it was a fun place to ski.  Thank you

You jumped on Ramp Masters, and when the tip of the skis started splitting you cut them off and they would send you a new pair.  and they only cost $50

Amazon sells 50# Wake Ballest Bags.  They have lead weight in them and they take up very little room.  

Masterline has a good sale on Quantun Trick Ski Now. 25% on a bundle package, that includes a trick sock and a rear toe

Grandson skis @ Sun Site Lake in Dayton. It's right off of I-75 So you can check it out and give him a call at 513-325-7251. This is a very friendly ski club

The Dow Styrofoam Billets (Blue) are 20" x 96" x 10" ordered from Dock Builders Supply Gibsonton, Fl. I ordered 6 $1126.50. Like I said they are easy to cut to size and they will never get waterlogged and critters won't eat them

I just redid my jump after 30 years. Old floation was the Dow Billets, found new on line at a place in Florida. Bought the same as I had. They are the long blue blocks and we have all kind of critters and nothing eats them. the advantage I see over the boxes they are easy to work with as far as spacing, easy to cut with saw. They worked great for me. I also have some old if you need any let me know. Text me your phone and I'll send you photos of mine

That's my plan this week end at our Regionals.

 

Footnote: Our state memberships are down 50% from last year.

 

You do not have to do Safe Sport to join and you have 30 days to complete Safe Sport after you join. So if you want to compete in a tournament in those 30days you can. But, your scores aren't official till after you complete Safe Sport. Now true Story my Grand Son joined In late June so the web site wouldn't even allow him to sign up for tournament in July. But they were notified he was planning on skiing. He did complete safe sport 2 days before. Skied on Saturday. Scorer didn't put him in, (don't know why) His score did not appear in scorebook. Check with AWSA and yes he was safe sport qualified. Scorer would not correct scorebook. So he lost his PB. But, the sad fact is it was a 3 event slalom and it was over in 4 hours. Where are the all the skiers?

has anyone set this ski up with the whisper fin pro? Skier is 36mph, on a 67" running into 38 off. Any suggestions on settings!

A skier named Kenny Wolf in Ohio made me a hard shell trick binder in late 70's. He used a roller blade boot mounted on Hard plastic, and it was secured on the ski with with 3M triple loop velco. The plate had to be hammered on with a rubber mallet. When you caught an edge it would release. At the time it was much safer than a rubber boot.

@klindy: In the Safe Sport announcement: 1477 members are already safe sport trained! Where did they come up with this number. If you check in the Officials Directory under USA Safe Sport Trained the Number is under 600?

Isn't it the parents responsibility to watch over & protect their children, and teach them right from wrong.

If the AWSA Board did not vote on this, then why is this going to affect AWSA events? How is the sport growing?

This post is not asking how people feel about being told what to do but more about what is happening with AWSA are they really interested in "growing the sport" or do they even care. This isn't about just tournament skiers but about all skiers. How are they trying to make skiing easier for people to get into the sport?

Is the USA Water Ski Board of Directors trying to grow the sport or help kill it with their decision about Safe Sport? When I first glanced at the head line today I figured it was meant for safety, judges and tournament personnel. But, that's not the case at all. In 2022 anyone over 18 has to take the Safe Sport Course on line, if you want to ski. But, big deal it's free.

A friend is checking this out, does anyone have anymore feed back on this.

 

Wish they would make a front Venom Binder again

Our club has had new MasterCrafts every year for the past 4 years and we have never had problems with it. 2020 has 450+ hrs a not a single problem, The quality of every boat has been great

WOW, I skied there a very, very, long time ago

Try Miami Ski Nautique, a friend just bought a 2021 Senate. Had the ski in 4 days plus free shipping. Great Customer service

 

Dollar stores sells really long & short plastic shoe horns works great.

No Chad I'm not skiing do to a shoulder injury, but I do have friends who are tricking behind the MC all with out weights so I was checking for them. That's what friends and ski partners do for each other, plus I am a 3 event reg judge and I do know my rule book. Have a fun Nationals

 

Weighted MasterCraft in tricks does this mean that both boats will be available with and without weights?
