the new lake is beeing digged from scratch and about 30% ready by now. skiing start will not be before 2022. See google-earth 48°19'47.16"N 16° 1'42.14"E. Lenght is 630m or 2066 ft. Did not get many information from the austrian waterski federation, will try IWWF.

Alex, thank you for the comment. The idea was to have the fin not touching the ski at all. It is fixed in the bearing box only. Eventually the fin would have to be made of harder stainless steel or carbon. Binding design was based on existing alpine systems with real safety. Only new thing would be the moving middle part. Importend will be to avoid a long plate effcting the flex. kind regards Kurt

Many years ago I consulted the Fischer slalom ski development (see: https://www.hofstatt.at/fischer.htm ). Also had some concepts for a #02 ski prepared, but Fischer ended their waterski activities. Just wondered if someone has ideas how to get these developments realized. E.g. a safety binding (see: https://www.hofstatt.at/trigger.htm ) or a flex-neutral fin mount /see: https://www.hofstatt.at/zerofina.htm ). There might be better solutions available after such a long time, if so please advise. Thanks and kind regards Kurt

Thank you very much, is there a chance to see your site at google-maps/earth?

We are building an new skilake near Vienna/Austria. Is there any Information on safety distances, such as slalom buoy to shore, boat turn radius at ends, ramp to shore, etc. available? Layout see: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/skipark-2021-01-17-a0024e9d98654333ad8a01cc7e0bd595 Thank you Kurt
