  1. I hear there are some small ski lakes neat it, so that might be a reason you not getting any responses. I might call Rambo Marine in Huntsville and see if they can connect you with someone down there.
  2. I skied with the Ole Miss club from 87-90 and I do not recall them going to any of the tournaments that we went to during that time period.
  3. It looks like what I envisioned when Heyday said they were going to make a ski boat to accompany their wake tractor.
  4. I read right over the word wood since he said it was blue. My bad. Only painted solid blue ones I can remember were little kid skis. Hope you find em.
  5. could it have said elite on it, not pro? Connelly elite comes to mind for me. https://www.ebay.com/i/362591726683?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=362591726683&targetid=596465734788&device=c&adtype=pla&googleloc=9013184&poi=&campaignid=1689407483&adgroupid=74365778108&rlsatarget=aud-412677883135:pla-596465734788&abcId=1140476&merchantid=8298814&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9pDpBRCkARIsAOzRzitPFs4Nix5U3rS60ResCz-Nip59lvwFGSutiHln0
  6. Its my favorite. The scent is great, and the product works.
  7. PBR for Personal Best Run Has to be in a 16 ounce can, ice cold.
  8. I still wakeboard but I am too old to push it hard. I can push my slalom ski really hard, and can take a barefoot fall, but no way at 50 I am going to really push my limits to try and advance on a wakeboard anymore. Only trips the ER with the kids were also wakeboarding. Catching air on a wakeboard sure is fun, but it has got to be the most dangerous of all our flavors of watersports.
  9. We have had years of quantitative easing and monetary policy that has kept the rates of financing charged to banks at historic lows, with our government pushing banks to lend, but not on mortgages. Easy money and terms help prices grow. Now the FED is talking about reducing rates again. I work in higher ed -- Same thing -- every-time the government raises loan limits and drops interest rates, we all respond by increasing our tuition costs. Money lent for cars, truck, RVs, boats is a bubble similar to the housing bubble, but it should not crash the economy if it pops like housing did.
  10. I find it Gekko Revo-ish.
  11. We decided as a famiky to have an Amazon free Christmas this year other than hitting Whole Foods for some selected groceries. Nothing political or preachy here, just somethingwe decided to do. We will use them again and I will check out the link younposted.
  12. The boat is marketed on their website with a tubing and surfing icon. The tubing icon is weak, but I believe correct craft knows how to sell boats better than I do.
  13. Now I have a reason to go to the boat show this winter.
  14. Collegiate fishing is kicking our butts. Non- collegiate fishing tournaments are kicking our butts too. And you can get our the door from Bass Pro Shop with a brand new boat and trailer that you can enter a tournament with for less then $20K. No lake restrictions. You can tow it behind your crappy mini-SUV. You can also spend more than a new Prostar for a new boat too. Believe me, it brings me no pleasure to admit that more people want to compete fishing than skiing. But that is what I see around me.
  15. I am 50 and woukd love to go over a ramp again. If you have the opportunity go for it.
  16. Ole miss in the late 80s. Wonderful experience. Wish I could go back in time and do again.
  17. We tell new students when they arrive in college to join a club and try something new. The fact that they are not all snoflakes and some are willing to stare down a jump ramp shows you to not believe all the media. Great kids learning our great sport.
  18. Way back in the day I was in the Atlanta Water Ski Club and they kept up 2 nice courses. Their web site is still up.
  19. Here it is: Actually .... this is a swivel ski I found locally and added x-9 bindings to accommodate a lot of feet sizes. My goal it get every person staying at the lake with us over Labor Day a slalom run. With this ski beginners have no excuse for not trying. I have have nicknamed her Big Sa'rah. This fat bottom girl is going to get some new people skiing!
  20. Maybe this poll is a Rorschach test of your age. To me, 1983-1985 MC Stars and Stripes - love the square windshield line 1986-1988 Malibu Skier with the multi-colored stripes (mine was base grey with 7 different colors in the stripes, with base stripe a garnet) -- The euro versions began their ugly phase that persistent -- kink of like the Mustang II phase no one wants to remember 1982-1984 SN 2001 with the tri-color stripe 1985-1986 SN 2001 Early 80s American Skiers Pretty easy to figure out when I was a teen with boat stars in my eyes.
  21. Why not include a pic
  22. Not sure when it changed. Mine says made in USA but its a few years old.
  23. FYI Talons are foot specific.
  24. My talons fit good on my HO.
