  1. The propeller on my team's 2011 Centurion Carbon Pro has some dings in it, so I am planning on ordering a new propeller for the boat and fixing the current one to use as a spare. Unfortunately, I don't really know much about boat propellers. I was just going to buy the same prop that was currently on our boat, but I can't find one that has both the same diameter and pitch (4 blade OJ 13.0 x 14.5). One site recommended an ACME 537 4 blade (13.5 x 16) for the carbon pro when waterskiing or barefooting, but that seems like it will be a big change. Does anyone have any recommendations on which prop will make the pull most similar to those of the Big Three in tournaments? Any suggestions are welcome and very appreciated! Make: Centurion Model: Carbon Pro Year: 2011 Current Propeller: 4 blade OJ 13.0 x 14.5 Thank you!
  2. This advice wasn't aimed at myself, but at one of my teammates who was jumping during one of our tournaments in southern Ohio. After crashing, our team president decided to give my teammate the following advice: "ABSORB THE RAMP!" He's not a jumper...
  3. Hey everyone, I have to write a 6-8 page research paper that relates something I love to children's literature. I love skiing, so I figured I should write about that. How does waterskiing relate to children's literature? No idea, but this is the best topic I've come up with so far. Anyways, I was hoping that you guys could share some stories about injuries you received when waterskiing (believe it or not, there's a lot of violence in children's books, so hopefully I can try to argue that waterskiing is in some way violent). I figured this would be a great way to hear some awesome stories and also get some material for my research paper. Thanks!
  4. Thanks @jcamp! I'll definitely try to get in touch with them.
  5. Hi, I'm going to be living in Groton, CT, from May through December. I'm looking for ski lakes to practice at in Connecticut and neighboring states, especially lakes with access to a ramp. Please let me know if you know of a lake in this area that has open membership slots. Thanks!
