You can buy small Dremel buffing wheels and compound for your Dremel tool. Make sure your Dremel has variable speed control and use a slower speed. A single speed tool spins too fast and will burn your finish. I buff between letters on my Nautique and it works very well. Just be patient.

My cheap 1 gallon 1/3 hp Hyper Tough 120V pancake is the best one for the buck so far. Has been running 5 years now. Thought it was dying this spring but ended up a few bolts had to be tightened. Still runs like new! Think it cost $45 at the time. Takes 15 minutes to raise course with a manageable rate that won't blow the bladders. My last 12V battery powered was a Slime product.

I have used a few portable different 12VDC compressors over the past 20 years bought at Walmart or Harbor Freight etc. Doesn't seem to matter on brand. They last a few years and then self destruct. To speed the process up I always started with a 9 gallon air tank filled in the garage to max, then hooked up the compressor. I also have a scientific diaphragm pump I use to remove water from the lines occasionally. Can be used to fill also but max is 10psi. Now days I use a small 120V pancake compressor and run it off power up at the house supplied by extension cords. The compressor remains on shore with a 50' air hose running out to the dock course connection.

Perhaps he wants to work for the lame stream news?

No offense, a cool concept but as a former accident investigator that sea glider looks like an accident waiting to happen. Can your tow people afford the liability?

Haven't seen WallyGator since I was a kid!

@Jody_Seal Forgot my boots.

I used a swing set to do some work on my 196. Could build a wood frame to get the work done. Many examples on you tube.

You didn't think I was going to let a damn boat pass me did you??

I check my settings every few weeks or after an abnormally bad day on the water. Skis get bumped, dropped, stepped on, and sometimes just mysteriously change. Then I put them back to where they were working before.

Just walk it off!

Yes Sir, I am LFF.

@jriester33 is a good course skier and a heck of a driver. Somebody help him out!!

I had my TKR on Halloween in 2021. After PT I was back up skiing full speed after ice out in April 2022. I have had zero knee pain. Am presently skiing at line lengths I had not seen in years. Sorry that I waited so long!

Same. Dum Bass!

Staying home.

@Wish Pretty sure you could mold it if the toe is plastic using a heat gun or hair dryer at the risk of voiding the warranty. The right amount of heat is a very very fine line though! I know a lot of people that have heat molded Reflex boots. Some were successful, some not.

Put two holes in the neoprene near the zipper 1/2 inch from bottom with a hole punch. Tie your shorts string through those holes to help keep the vest down. You see this feature used by a lot of manufacturers with their vests.

There are spray paints out there like Plastic-Dip which work similar to vinyl wrap in a can. Come in a variety of colors. Mask your ski off and layer up your colors. If you don't care for how it comes out, peel it off and try again. Might even do a reasonable job on bindings.

Exactly!!!

Ahhhh, Nope!

Not talking about that. The back of the boot slants away from the measuring point. The bigger (taller) the hook the higher the hook leading edge goes up the boot. I placed my boots on my Senate Pro using a tailors clothing tape (no hook) at 30 1/2". With a standard 1/4" wide tape it shows 30 3/8". With my 3/4" wide tape measure it reads 30 1/4".
