  1. Has the Pineapple review started? I assume the mystery ski is the new Goode Ventura?
  2. Is round 2 slalom today, tomorrow or Saturday?
  3. I would like to see the mainline on all ropes be made out of poly with some give then all shortening loops made from spectra, this would give the rope or more similar feel/give at 15' off and 41' off.
  4. @Broussard this is a great chart!
  5. Those passes look easy on the Sabre! @Horton what are your first impressions?
  6. Hopefully it works out and the Android version becomes available sooner rather than later. Worldwide Android has 70% of the market, 40% in the USA.
  7. @Horton It looks like your weather link is for Florida rather than Australia. Link for the weather in Melbourne Australia https://www.wunderground.com/forecast/au/melbourne
  8. I wish the Senate Pro came in a 66", would be a great ski!
  9. As @buechsr mentioned the tech is here now to do what 90% of us need a ski boat to do and the battery technology is increasing FAST. There will very soon be 100 kWh batteries that only weigh around 600 lbs and will charge from 20 to 80% in 15 minutes or less. The future is bright!
  10. @Horton When do you plan to start your Pineapple testing?
  11. @skibrain has the best solution and what I have heard works best, use your normal gloves or one size bigger with blue nitrile gloves under them. Also use a cooler full or hot water.
  12. I think it is unnecessary for most events since TWBC already allows viewers to comment on their live YouTube stream. If there are events (Moomba, Masters, other) that are lived streamed without a place to comment then it would be a good idea.
  13. Love your project! Will the slalom lake be up and running this summer?
  14. Listen to @jnan66 and his doctor friend, deep hard massage perpendicular to the tendon every day for about 10 minutes and it will go away.
  15. Give the 68" HO Syndicate Omega Max a look/try, very surprised no one has mentioned it.
  16. @skinut Great to hear of a lake going in close to Utah. How close are you to this https://willowlakesutah.com lake project in Logan Utah?
  17. @skinut Where is your new lake being built?
  18. @Sedge Any plans to offer handles strung with spectra?
  19. @Chris Rossi Those handles do look nice and are reasonably priced. Do you know if Radar plans to offer a 12" curved (ARC) option? Spectra?
  20. @mike_mapple That is/was the plan with my current Camaro Blacktec Zero but I'm getting cold feet worried that if I cut it just below the knee it will make the seams weak and they will start to split. From the factory Camaro uses a little patch of material at the bottom of the seam that is glued on the inside to strengthen the seam and prevent it from splitting.
  21. I agree with @h2oSkiJunkie that the S-Lines X-Series is the best rope currently on the market. I started using the X-Series mid summer, before that I was using Masterline for 5+ years, before that I used In-Tow.
  22. I don't get that much water down my neck while floating in the water with my vest on but that is an issue for many suits. Getting water down the neck is something Stokes has addresses it their latest Superflex Pro suit with its redesigned neck closure, combine that with a dry zipper like Camaro and you would virtually stay dry.
  23. I had high hopes for the 1.5mm HO Syndicate Dry-Flex suits when they first came out, one more smooth skin suit to compete with Camaro and Stokes. What I have found from owning a HO Syndicate Dry-Flex is it lets more water through the zipper than Camaro and uses just a little stiffer 1.5mm material that does not flex as much as Camaro. All three of these brands (Camaro, Stokes, HO) that offer smooth skin are the best option for us water skiers since they eliminate evaporate cooling which is why they are so warm while being so thin/lightweight and flexible. I personally would love to see Stokes and HO offer a dry zipper which makes a huge difference by turning these wet suits into almost dry suits since the zipper is the main way water gets in. The other option I would love Camaro and HO to offer is the 3/4 length leg that goes just below the knee which is what Stokes has going for it.
