Thank you!

what size is your pineapple?

What was the fin number for Pineapple when you run 38 ?

Thank you so much ! I understood very well!!

Thank you for the comment. I was not saying D3 ION's fin setting = Radar Vapor fin setting. If you could find the right fin number or boots placement for that ski, all ski's behavior will be the same...or not? because anything(turn , edge change, tip engagement, smear etc...) can be tuned by fin setting. @Hortongave me great answer .

I see. Thats the answer I was looking for i guess🙏 this could be out of topic but can you describe each major brand characteristic ? I always tell japanese skiers that "get your ski that you think cool or you like". If you could describe each characteristics over settings, I can recommend more suitable skis for each skiers🤔

Where does that difference come from you think? materials?flex?etc?

Fin setting and Boots placement is so critical. it makes ski's behavior almost completely different ski like from difficult to run the course to deep into your hardest pass. I just thought that even though skis shape are different, any skis(all different brands ) can be the same with fin and Boots placement eventually (almost)? *if its same ski size. I came up with thought when I tried a new ski and was asked " What do you think this ski compare to~~~~" Hmmmm,...

This is from Nick Parsons explaining about new pineapple 🍍 this new ski was designed to be universally more friendly. We have a large but distinct bevel. This will give you grip but keeps the ski riding slightly deeper in the water which helps keep the line tight everywhere. Particularly at the finish of the turn. We also have a higher tail rocker for an easier finish and more centered flat spot. The centered flat spot reduces any chatter or buckling from what the skier experiences. Noticeably so on the skiers offside. Essentially you’ll have a much more fluid arcing turn. All this combined with our softer torsion makes more a friendly forgiving ski. -Nick

@Stevie Boy I see. I've told good Gate is everything to run the course for many many times since I started running the course but it is same for 41off

@LK_skier Ah "risk and reward". you are right. 3 at 41 is a line for going trough the finals at many event.

Hi Ballers!!!! Sorry if you guys already talked about this topic. I've been watching live streaming and results of pro tour and clearly there is a barrier of 3 at 41(for men, maybe 2 at 41 for women) What do you think they need to get more than 3 buoys at 41? My guess is Speed. (not loosing speed around the buoy is a key) I know there are so many other essential factors for 41 but looks like Nate is really good at not loosing speed(and time) at each buoys and that put him early in the course. I want to hear your thoughts and knowledge. I think it makes watching up coming event more fun. Thank you!

They were the very first couple who did waterskiing wedding photo in Japan!

Hey ballers!!! How are you all doing? I have something to announce for you today! Right now, with 4 members from JWWF(Japan Waterski and Wakeboard Federation) are working on the new project of Building Full Size Cable Park in Japan. and The company we founded SleekWater, LLC has opened a crowdfunding campaign to purchase a 2-mast cable system !It's been just over a year since our members started planning the cable park project! We have been discussing what we can do with the dream of providing a place where men and women of all ages, within 90 minutes from the Tokyo metropolitan area, can easily enjoy water sports and relaxing time by the water with their family and friends.We have been looking for some potential sites, but we have not yet secured any.So, we are going to visit local governments where we can utilize the lake and introduce the 2-mast cable system for a short period of time or on a trial basis to revitalize the area and promote water sports.We've decided to start a crowdfunding campaign to purchase a 2-mast cable system as our first step!We are aiming for the following results from this fundraising・ Purchase of a portable 2-mast cable system ・ Gathering people to help fund and promote the project ・ PR to the local government We want more people to know about the fun and exhilaration of water sports and the water-centric life style! We have also prepared returns for foreigners . We would like to ask for your opinion and support as well.Returns for foreigners are ■Return details ・ Your name will be listed as a supporter on a special page on our website. ・ Thank you message from SleekWater ・ Report on our activities 【You can add as much as you like, starting from ４３$.】 Rate１＄＝１１５JPY 2022/1/11 Here is the URL for more details about our project Please don't hesitate to ask questions or what you think about our project!
