Or maybe "Crashwell"

You can buy the entire UFP Vault system hub assembly including brakes complete per side.

I have a boat mate trailer as well. Replaced both sides in 2-3 hours including the bleeding of the brakes. Call them and they can set you up.

I'm 11.5 foot. Ordered an XL and had to send back and buy the Large because my foot would slide forward slightly even with laces pulled tight. The Large is pretty tight on me but it is way better. You should be perfect at size 11.

@Minelickskier Center Hill Lake looks pretty nice.

We are looking for a family trip but I didn't see much for accommodations on the lake... Do you know of any decent cabins on the lake? Or is it just Marina access?

I often wondered if the lagoon in Chicago @ Lincoln park could be big enough to host a Pro event.

Now that would be cool.... Edit* Nevermind, I see it has concrete walls down one side..... But that location would be killer...

Show us your skiing with nature pics

 

So in reality @Horton wants to run a 32 that identifies as a 28......... it seems like that should be acceptable in todays' world we live.

I see a future BOS T-shirt showing this.....

@aupatking

Or "Fin Tweaker"

@Nanu_Nanu We would love some video of you skiing behind that beast of a boat!

With 93 octane please.

 

Does anyone know what vendors will be selling merchandise @ Nationals?

And will they be there all week?

I run a Large T-Factor front and XL Rear. Haven't had any release issues. As long as your front binding isn't too tight, I would think you are ok.

The rule in our boat is everyone has to ski before the tube comes out! The other challenge I give kids is "How many different things can you ride?" As long as they are riding something on their feet, we are happy.

 

Totally agree on keeping it fun but you can push them to do more all at the same time. Just have to keep it balanced.

 

This is a good discussion topic.

@Horton - what octane gas is the easiest to convert to spray?? :D

Bob Marley would be entertaining.........

The Panda

lol.

 

Or VISION

Leave work early to go ski as much as I can without getting fired!

@o2bnMaine Nice scrambling for that -32. Its like I tell people in golf..... there is no pictures on the score cards! Nobody needs to know how you did it..... But you did run it and that's what counts. LOL. nice work...

@YoKo yes- I believe an XL will be too big for you. I am a size 11-1/2 US. I started with an XL and had to switch to a large because my foot would slide forward a little. It was also puckering up the rubber on top of the foot because I was pulling the strings so tight to make the XL work.

@tjs1295 excessive wakes are becoming a big problem for smaller lakes. I believe at some point there will be restrictions due to damaged property and erosion of shore lines. There is a lake near me that the county wanted to shut down one portion that parallels the County road because the erosion was eating away toward the road. The lake association added rip rap to prevent the closure. Bigger lakes maybe not... but smaller lakes I see it could happen.

@hewgdaddy "Tournament size" is usually referred to as a center mounted direct drive engine.

However, there are many different types and sizes of center mounted direct drives.....Choosing one depends on what you want to do behind it.

Wakeboard and surf boats have rear mounted engines called V-Drives. These throw a larger wake and are much larger boats.

The width is less critical than the type of boat/drive or length.

Hope this answers some of your question.

 

I wonder how long before someone tries to sue over getting their boat swamped????

Excessive use of water. :D I had a boat go by us once and they were laughing as it tossed us around....not cool....

Switched to T-Factors and they really helped me this year. I run a Large for front foot with a nice tight fit & an XL for rear to allow some heal lift and flex. Love them so far.

I have a 1 year old XL front T-factor for sale if you are interested.

Mine has a swivel built in. Never had a problem for less aggressive free skiing but I wouldn't use it in the course. It will twist a little.

it only takes a few minutes to take it off.

I tore mine a couple years ago in July. Nursed it for many months with no improvement. Surgery was in January and I was able to ski pretty normal by May. Feels stronger than ever. Get your MRI and get it repaired!
