See also the "show us your tug" thread right here on BOS. Would be great to get some new pics on that thread. Thanks.

It's not a movie, but what a great ad. And it even has some slalom waterskiing at around the 2 minute mark. I know we have some Porsche fans on this site.... I'd take this car over a $300K wake boat any day! Enjoy.

@wilecoyote Here are two videos of a similar gate. My friend is at 22 and 28’ off two weeks ago, at 32mph. You have to pull out late. My friend waits for greens to be behind the boat. Marcus Brown almost waited until they were beside him. The theory includes not losing hardly any speed, so you don’t have to make up a lot of speed. “It’s a game of speed.” Note: I am absolutely no expert. Just providing information.

I have a friend in Orlando whose lift has a platform. I think he just designed it himself. Maybe 10y or so ago.

Thanks for coming into the marketplace S Line. It's much appreciated. Perhaps after succeeding on ropes and handles, you can tackle the ski boat market. ;) A new entrant with the skier's pocketbook also in mind would be greatly appreciated. Simple, practical, and cost-effective. Fingers-crossed. Thanks.

Mulberry FL yesterday. Almost 150F. Wow. And everyone in rubber still.

@Lars Sorry, not sure if the price dropped or not.

Agreed. The black 6.2 is suspicious. Call the Florida Mastercraft dealer for their insight. Action Watersports in Polk City. And for sure don’t pay a down payment without seeing it first. That’s the previous scam….. they take the down payment site unseen and then it goes completely quiet.

Lake Como has 1 or 2 courses. The Harborage has a course. Granada Lakes has two courses. I’ve never skied any of them.

Crazy idea: Automate the signal exchange between the gate buoy and the OffCourse. Must be skier-safe though.

Great water in Mulberry FL today.

@RGilmore Agreed. I have an O’Neill Psych Freak full wetsuit, with the Techno Butter. It keeps me 80% dry. It’s great for spring skiing up north. I also have the Syndicate Dry-Flex heater top for cool mornings. The Camaro Blacktec shorty will be the in-between. My wife loves hers.

@swbca The GoPro Labs GPS speed activation QR code now includes zoom. It worked for me today, with a Hero 9. Please see the other thread….. GoPro speed activation.

My sons are getting me a wetsuit for Christmas. Nice. What Camaro Blacktec shorty size is recommended for me.... Height = 184cm, chest=102cm, waist=95cm, hips=104 cm. I'm leaning towards a Large, since smaller is better than too large. Thanks in advance.

Mulberry, FL. 75F air. 70F water. Full sun. Glassy. Life is good. Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays.

Love the pics. What a great Christmas tradition. And it's so nice to get the neighborhood out together having fun. Thanks for sharing these every year.

A lake in The Quarry subdivision in Naples has a course on it. At least a couple years ago when we stayed there, it had a course. Google maps still shows it too. See below. The course is inside the red oval. I was never able to connect with someone to ski there. I saw a new Ski Nautique working on the course one day. And I started a post on BOS to find someone. No luck. Thanks.

Great work. Thanks a lot.

GPS auto-steer has been employed in agriculture for many years. Once you have it, you never go back. It is so much easier, and so much more efficient. The job of operating the tractor becomes much more enjoyable. And the rows or lines in the field are perfectly straight. The operator is still present of course, to ensure all is ok, to make the turns, for emergencies, etc. I realize the waterskiing speeds are much higher, but I look forward to operating the ski boat while technology not only takes care of the speed but also steering perfectly straight through the course. In fact, I can't wait.

@cnewbert Wow! Super job. I love it. The link below is done with a Hero 9 and Ski Doc at Mulberry FL on Monday (Nov. 29th). I zoom in after the filming (editing in the GoPro Quik app), since we use the GPS speed automatic start/stop function, and the zoom resets to 0 after the first pass. :( We want to zoom in more, and your modifications should allow this. Maybe I can order the modification kit from you.

The right size turned out to be XS. She loves it. Thanks for the advice.

I'm buying my wife a Camaro Blacktec shorty wetsuit from Performance Ski and Surf for Thanksgiving. Her measurements are below, as is the sizing chart. The question is... do we get a Small or Medium? Thanks in advance. Height 67". Chest 35". Waist 28". Hips 36".
