What is the accuracy of the Zero Off GPS receiver in comparison to the PP SG receiver? I know on the iPhone there is only 50ft of accuracy. There has to be some reason for adding the 2nd receiver for more than just redundancy.

Horton - What is the exact link on that article, couldn't find it when searching http://www.fifteenoff.com/ I started skiing competively with INT, got me into competing in Ohio where AWSA Tourneys were only for local clubs and weren't condusive to excepting in "outsiders" at the time back in the late 90s in my teens. INT has brought tournament skiing to the masses, why can't both groups combine their efforts?!?

A feels the most like "Stargazer" to me?!?

Horton - Here's your pic next to Eddie up in the announcer tower: http://picasaweb.google.com/buoychaser/WillAsherRound2At2008INTUSChampionships#5253847688775170930 http://lh4.ggpht.com/buoychaser/SOlqowlze3I/AAAAAAAAP9c/7zYfGsMIi94/s400/IMG_0465.JPGFrom Will Asher - Round 2 at 2008 INT US Championships

Yahh, that's me BuoyChaser and my pics, ENJOY http://picasaweb.google.com/buoychaser Bummah I didn't get a chance to meet you in person this year. One of these years. I'm in that 2yr hiatus of having our fist child, little Louisa is 19mos old. Won't be long and she'll be pushing dada to stick to shortening the rope. I was posting live results over on Chris Rossi/Wade Williams site on Saturday http://www.proskicoach.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=470 Let me know if you want me to do a double post here to repost each individual photo link of the pros 2nd round. BTW - Frickin' hilarious captions in the photo above. You hit Adam dead on with that one!!! ;) Miss skiin' with you in New Hammy bro, Jac let him come HOME!!!

the top deck on the MPD is so much different than the Goode or F1, almost like a Formica surface...

i had the same problem with my HO animal bindings, then my HO approach bindings in regards to putting my toes to sleep after the 4the pass...i've got size 10.5" feet but my forefoot at the ball of my foot is 4.25"... i love the feel of the new Fogmans, but the durability of the binding concerns me... anyone found a good binding for us "wide feet guys"???

Horton - Thanks, got an email out to him. What bindings are you using on your MPD? What have you seen others using out there? - Scott

i would like to mount Fogman Diablos on a 66" MPD...anyone else out there seen anyone with this setup???  any concerns in ski design as compared to other manufacturers to worry about when drilling the release holes???

DJWILD - drop Tadd or Jason an email at H2Osmosis, they are extremely knowledgeable of their products...they'll ship your ski to you immediately to demo, check out their site for more details http://www.h2osmosis.com/waterski_gear.php3  "Ride Before You Buy Program" Difficult to decidewhat ski you want? Take advantage of our "Ride Before you Buy Program"and try any model ski from any manufacturer without the high risk ofbuying a ski without knowing how well it will work for you. Here’s theskinny on how it works: http://www.h2osmosis.com/puce.gif  Putdown a deposit for the ski that says, "I will commit to buy my ski fromH2Osmosis Sports." (We hold $400 while you test our skis and then applythe deposit toward the price of the ski you ultimately choose). http://www.h2osmosis.com/puce.gif  Decidewhich ski you want to try and let us know. (If you need some plates tomake your boots work with the new ski, we can help you out with that aswell). http://www.h2osmosis.com/puce.gif  Wewill ship you the ski of choice and help you with the ski setup and allyou will pay is a $40 demo charge and the shipping for the ski. Youkeep the ski for two weeks and return it in new condition. http://www.h2osmosis.com/puce.gif  Onceyou decide which ski you want, we will apply the $400 deposit and thedemo charge for THAT PARTICULAR SKI to the price of the ski . You thenpay the balance and start ripping it on your new ride. Call the shop (843.559.2520) or e-mail info@h2osmosis.com and put "Ride Before You Buy" in the subject line. ÂÂÂÂ

Horton - So what would you compare the MPD to?!? I was thinking of trying a 66" black fin at 5'10" 170lbs working on a cleaner 36-22 and wider 36-28 pass!!!i've always like the 2004 & 2005 X5 feel, currently on a Goode 9736 67" 200amp that feels to long, should be on a 65.5 per their charts... what fin settings would you recommend for it in our crystal clear cooler water in new hampshire 85deg water temp???

i've got my 2006 9736 67" 200amp for sale and can tell you it "isn't a noodle" and skis great, just too long for me now having dropped 30lbs of pregnancy fat!!!love the ski but just having a tough time with it's length...now at 170lbs the recommended length is a 65.5" with Goode's measurements... http://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?topic=Search&postid=SIA04715

got any pics of "superfil" and where to find it???sounds like a great fix as well for "handle pop marks"...

TH - Great pics, thank you for clarifying, now i can share these with my buddies, but all the terminology was annoying me:   1.) DFT Stem the flat.   2.) DFT Stem   3.) DFT Head  The jaws measurement clarification was certainly much appreciated!!!

TH - Can you post FULL-SIZE photos to show your measurements using the caliper on the 2007 Independent Ski Tests, want to prove the variance with my friends on different calipers http://waterskitests.com/2007/HighEnd/07FinMethods.htm  why not put a "center line" on all the fins (preferably painted rather than etched) at the centerpoint of its highest point on the radius, then can ensure everyone is measuring at the same point for at least DEPTH... how about from depth of tail, measuring with jaws the tail of ski to front of fin, then that takes the guesswork out of DFT discrepancies...

with so many different "angle gauges" around, what has everyone found to be the most accurate to use???  i see schnitz has some for $50 but any others out there???
