@Horton Buford Danger, American Water Skier: You're funny. And the following sentences would have been spoken by a 9 yo, approximately never. 🙂

We are looking to add a new member or two. Great club, located in South Lyon, MI. If interested please contact our club president, Steve, at waterski46@aol.com Thanks

My opener is 26mph and I run up into 32mph. I have had no issues with the vapor at even those slow speeds.

Give Steve a big hug from me, please!

I'm not sure who to believe? LOL

@Horton I ordered one of those Camaro shorty's earlier this year. I love that wetsuit.

@Shell Well our presence is certainly at 150% but as for the total number of females on this site... That is a much lower number.

Pretty sure @Shell and I represent at least 40% of the female population on this site. 😂

I'm ready..

I completely agree. As long as I run my opener, everything else is gravy. It’s that score at 2 or 3 balls, that just kills you.

@Horton I’ve even run many a 24mph pass on the vapor. Those who know me know how much I whine and complain about my opening speed, but I know with 100% certainty I will run it. So I will continue to run that as my opener until I get farther into 32mph.

My opener is 26mph running up into 32mph. I skied on @Mastercrafter’s 24’ vapor this fall on the short/deep settings and had no issues skiing 26mph - 5@30mph . I’ve been on a 2020 vapor since fall of 2020 at those slow speeds and never had an issue. Can’t wait to get on the 24’ vapor I just received.

You guys are the best! Karen Matyniak and I would like to come down sometime this winter when Steve is down there too. We definitely want to ski. My RTP was just delivered thanks @perfski and it looks like the new Vapor front boot will be here tomorrow.

That sounds amazing! Thanks for the offer.

🥶 Brrrr. No thank you. The thought of just how cold that water is.. (shiver)

24' Radar Vapor Pro Build in Lagoon Blue... Now to die a little bit inside each day waiting for spring to arrive.

Used an older masterline rope to measure cord length needed for a portable generator. It's -28off from the basement window to the fridge. 🤣

Don't give him any ideas. @Mastercrafter collects prostars like others collect tchotchkes.

@ I think this qualifies under "if you have to ask, you can't afford it". LOL.

The 4th Annual Kim’s Water Ski Classic was a smashing success. We had 19 skiers take part. Conditions were fantastic and we all had a fabulous time. I want to thank my friends for helping me pull this off. I couldn’t have done it without you. @Mastercrafter thank you for the use of your ProStar. @MISkier thank you for driving. And for driving me to my best pass of the season so far. @DaveD for your donation of raffle items. @Sedge for the SLines Ropes, handle and KD junior combo skis that we raffled off. @PSM for the donation of ProGear Gloves and PureFood protein powder. @Horton for running my ads for this event year after year. I hope I have not forgotten anyone . Attached are a few of the pics that were taken. I will have more once I get those back from my photographer . IMG_5878.mov
