@CamYikes, no gloves!  My fingers would have been numb by the time the boat was up to speed!!

My HO CX Superlite (2017) is the easiest I have ever used. Starts pop right up with a dry face - very nice in winter; easy ski on the body.  I assume the Omnis are similar 

Had a great turnout at Hilltop today - over a dozen skiers - here's a couple dock pics

If it ain't frozen, go skiing!!

@Mastercrafter Need that awesome button - you broke the 70 degree rule!! 

Excited for the 5th annual Hilltop coffee/donut/ski. Weather shoud be high 80's tomorrow (water up to 46 today) - expecting 12+ skiers. Happy New Year ballers!!

@Gale KStupid orange ball thingys!!

Interested to see if the Adams comment - I always enjoy seeing @AdamCordshow up with his latest modification. 

@Horton Polar Bears in CA - waiting for pics!!

Even different boats of the same model may feel different - always ski before you buy.  I am a 15 off 30-32 skier and and happy behind a 196, 2 different 200's and a 2019 Nautique as well as two Malibu Sportsters and a Sunsetter - I do not notice the wake causing me any concerns on any of these boats.

New S Line bent handle ordered - BTW 15% off thru 12/31 & free shipping - gunna see how my elbows like it. 

A Christmas miracle - sunny, glassy glass and 84 at HT this morning - and even managed to run 2 full passes in a set!! Spring must be close.

Best after ski beer list

Sportster is a different animal so not a fair comparison - and that one looks very nice for the dedicated skier & bare footer. Bet you could get him down to 15k. Glad both my pals already have one!!

It may be about boating in general, but surfing is the root cause/problem.  Maybe boat manufacturers should get together and figure out a way to train their surfer customers - like a mandatory class/surfer card requirement, vs having the rest of the industry be punished.  There will always be those that don't give a darn, but I'll bet there are alot of ignorant surf barge owners out there that just need education.

I would also be interested in the skier's ability level when this happens - is it more common in 34-36mph short liners or 15 off 30-32mph hacks like me

@The_MS it was a "brisk 83" at HT this morning

I think you could close this thread if everyone would just put hi octane in their tanks!

@Horton Ok, you are officially invited to our Hilltop New Year's Day ski/coffee/doughnuts - please bring your 3/4, should be fun!!

@Hortonsounds like time for  your dry suit!

Seems to be back to normal this morning, big thanks to @Horton!!

@thagerthat suggests the LP1 was the bigger factor in you improvement. Would be interesting to see how you do on that ski w/o canting.

@BL_Skierare you selling or buying?  Is that your boat/gear in the above link??  Just being nosey, what's the backround story on all that pristine gear??

@thagerDid you try the modification on the Senate?  If not please do and report back - will be a nice objective test of ski vs boot change as far as what made the difference.  And, did you ski the LP1 w/o the cant??

@Hortonwondering if you would be interested in shipping that my way so I could give it a proper PMW review for BOS?  HT has been a challenging ski the past few weeks; ice on the edges last weekend, much more pleasant today 40 degree air, 43 water.
