Yikes, guilty of 10 of these!

Need the "awesome" button back!

He just needs to be a BOS sponsor and all would be right in the world again!

I had my 1st formal strength/flexibility training yesterday after left (rear leg) THR Jan 3rd, so 9 wks post op. Was back at work in my vet clinic after 13 days and done with formal PT visits after 4 weeks. Very comfortable, pretty much pain free by 3 wks post op, but after yesterday I can see I have no business being on a ski yet!! Really looking forward to twice a week training plus what I can do at home/work. Seeing my new C85 patiently waiting for me helps me work harder! PRO TIP: if your hip hurts and you need a replacement, get it done, don't be a dork like me and put it off for another year. Can't wait to be skiing pain free by June.

Yeah, that makes me want to run out and buy a 300k wake barge

+1 for stern drain - my Sanger and buddy's two Malibus had them from factory

@RichardDoaneok if I post this over on Planet Nautique - they would enjoy your good work!

@AndreBrings back terrible childhood memories of Disneyland teacups - my dad could really get those things spinning!!

My new Denali!

That looks like a good place to install a zerk

2023 is going to be great! Our Faithful Tow Friend gets an upgrade, I got a new hip, and even a new ski! BTW what octane does the 6.0 require? And while you're at it, see if you can get a heated passenger seat in there too! And please check the heater; not much heat the past few winters. AND - THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO TO KEEP OUT HT TOWS HAPPY!!

@cougfanhad both his done about a year apart. Just a 15 off hack like me but skis pain free and I have counted him making over 100 consecutive turns on Lake Curlew free skiing w/o a break!

@Horton the Wednesday Night Crew would make @adamhcaldwellbartender until healed!

A good PT's evaluation would help get you on the mend quickly & safely!

So if you cut some tail off an adult sized ski, can you still use the original binding inserts or do they have to be moved? @MarcusBrownKeep these coming, very enjoyable to watch; Rob & you do a nice job!

Just watched this, surprised no comments yet. I live in W WA and used to stop skiing by Nov & start up again in April. I work full time so am lucky to get out one or two days on the weekends. I never felt like I was back in ski shape again until late June/early July. I joined HT in 2017 and found a great group of skiers that love the challenge of skiing year round. Only thing that keeps us off the lake is ice (Gordon doesn't like what it does to the fiberglass!) I have been able to ski at least one day a month year round since April 2017, ave 2-3/month. Finally broke my streak due to hip replacement this month. For me, the biggest plus of winter skiing is the feel that I never get out of ski shape, so now at 65 yrs old, May-Nov are really great ski months for me. We wear dry suits, have a big cooler of hot water on the docks; everyone has their own preferences for winter gloves, hats, layering. As long as the water is over 45, feet & hands tolerate it ok. Have also found by staying with it all year, it's much easier to stay acclimated to the cold. Will be interesting to see what kind of ski shape I am in in when I am released to ski again in June.

@Horton Just an fyi, I clicked on "forums" looking for a thread and found several unread posts that were not responding to the "unread content" click. Approx 10 half way down p1, just a few on p2-3, none after that. Love the new format, keep up the awesome work!!

@jjackkrashWhat does your surgeon say?

@Minelickskier- that's my 1st ski - tried a dock start 2 yrs ago after a 30 yr rest in the garage - hamstring was not amused. It was a great ski for me for many years.

Just placed my order; I'm always up for a good deal - now the hard part - had hip replaced 3 weeks ago so can't try it out till June. I will be keeping @AdamCordbusy at HT this season!!

@S1PittsMaybe means you don't have to pull as long on the bigger ski??

Missing the awesome button right now!

Over on MalibuCrew there's a thread about an outfit that makes stainless steel ex manis. Here's the link: https://www.marinetorq.com.au/

Thanks! Looking forward to the new ski!!

@Kimbymon Smooth enough for a nice bare foot run!!
