And hoping some other ballers close enough will join us at Curlew in 2024. Good friends, great skiing, fantastic eating!!

Just checked out the Oak street gear page. Their dry suit, called the Sea Star, looks just like the one I got from Wileys in the 90's and still use today. I called and the gal I talked with says they did make Wileys suits, and cost of the Sea Star is $360. They are in Oegon. I also suggested she check out BOS and consider advertising as I see alot of questions about dry suits this time of year. That's a fair price for a nylon baggy and if it's the same quality of my current one, it a good value.

@Gale KI loved those gloves from Wileys - sad to see I couldn't order them last year. My daughter got me a pair of Temres 282-02 by Showa; they seem bulky but kept my hands toasty warm even when wet; pretty good grip too . I have toyed with the idea of gluing a drysuit wrist seal in place of the nylon pull string one. They also held up well over two months use last year.

Sadly, after 7 years of great skiing & even greater fellowship, we "lost out lease" at Bow Lake 3 yrs ago. My three great friends continue to get together Wed mornings when time/work allows. I work full time so am unable to join them anymore on Wed. We do get together at Lk Curlew for a week but sure miss the Wed Nite Crew meetings. Cougfan has drifted away from BOS; he recently got a nice Malibu Sportster and sent his Sunsetter to live with his son. I am happy so many ballers liked to follow our adventures - special times with my very best friends and ski buddies! Cougfan has picked up a nice place on Curlew; I will try to post those adventures next summer. Red

Using a meter (not your dash), measure your battery voltage right after you turn off the switch. Would also be interested to know voltage at idle. What year/baot/motor please

I am a weekend warrior, ski Hilltop most Sat/Sundays - only thing that keeps us off the lake is ice and white caps! Today was my 1st day in my trusty dry suit - skied by solar eclipse - didn't make me ski any better.

Still waiting for that "awesome" button @Horton. One of the nicest 41's I have ever seen (in the eyes of a 15 off skier)

Welcome to BOS! When was the last time the motor was running?

Here's another manifold source the guys over at Malibucrew like https://marinetorq.com.au/

I have read many times on the Malibucrew that magic eraser will damage vinyl

Just watched some pretty intense rock skipping on ESPN today - water skiing has no chance.

@lpskierI fully agree - just celebrated 36 on Monday! And I assume you laugh at her jokes as well.

Way to go Mr. Brown!!

Looks like the C95 is on fire!!

Years ago the INT league was great for the kids; wonderful family fun. No idea if it is still a thing.

Are you doing any formal strength training/going to the gym? Skiin is hard! I had hip replaced in January, have been using a trainer twice a week since March and am in my best condition, especially core, in over 5 years (I'm 65). After work out, everything hurts except my hip for 24-48 hrs but I can ski pain free again and have no limitations after surgery. My buddy has had both knees done, he skis pain free and works out regularly.

@RAWSki Details on that thingamajig please!

Try 30 and put some weight in the bow

Missing the old awesome button again!!

You could send the binder to Wileys in Seattle for repair

Have you used a PT before - if so contact them, maybe they can give you some advise - I would think almost 2 wks in a sling w/o some gentle motion would not do you any good.

What speed/line length? I have been on the CX since 2017; such a fun easy ski. I am just getting back to 32mph/15off after hip replacement in Jan. I have been moving fin forward & shallower to get quicker turn - oppisite of what you are looking for?

You ask the lake owner to put a handicap rail on the dock to help you put your ski on

How does he do in a swimming pool where you can see bottom?

Found this on Malibucrew forum tonight - looks like casual skiers like this too. CaptainMorgan 491 Location: Chesapeake Bay (Maryland) Boat: 2019 A24 472 Posted 3 hours ago found this on youtube - documentary about waterskiing that just came out. i found it entertaining even though i've only slalom'd casually a few dozen times and never trick'd or jumped. But i assume others on here may enjoy it AND posted on Planet Nautique this morning 7/1
