I run a couple of 28´s on the new 68 Razor today. It turns extremely sharp, a little to much, need to go back 1 or 2 holes on the bindings. I ran factory settings but I forgot the tape measure and just put the bindings in the middle holes. . The Elite is for sale. What settings are you guys running? Tsixam

I use a .94 handle and medium gloves. I'll get elbow problems if I use a larger handle. Tsixam.

I think the alpine skier Wild Bill Johnson was a waterskier as well. Tsixam

Ok here it is. Tsixam

Done. How do I add a picture? Tsixam

Dito, and really try to be patience in the turn to get a good angle so you get wide and early to the next ball. Tsixam

Count me in MattP! I´ll be glad to donate $ 20 for a good cause. I´ll donate even if Horton makes it or not. But I would like to see the video. Tsixam

Great video! I´m hoping to do some unboxing this week, I´m waiting for a package from Austria. BTW I have a 67.5 Elite for sale, great condition only used one summer. $420 + shipping. Tsixam

Done. Tsixam

In Europe we never say 11.25, we say 11. When we get down to 10.75 we say long 10 and 10.25...short 10. Tsixam.

I dont know about the angle ot anything else in the article.. I found it on the www. Tsixam

Kris Lapoint on wings: "Where you place the wing on the fin makes a big difference–no, make that a huge difference. Even on the same ski, you may position it differently than another skier would place it. It takes plenty of trial and error to find the optimum location, but it’s worth the effort. Here are some general guidelines for adjusting your wing position: Moving the west wing toward the rear (putting the trailing edge of the wing about 0.5 in. From the rear of the fin blade) pushes the ski out in front of you in the turn and makes the ski finish the arc more quickly. This is especially good if your ski tends to finish behind you at the end of the turn. Moving the wing forward, to about middle of the fin blade makes the ski stay in the turn longer and helps keep it underneath you while finishing the turn. Moving the wing up the blade, toward the bottom of the ski, lets the ski roll up on edge easier in the pre-turn and may slow the ski slightly more than a lower placement. Lowering the wing placement provides more stability. The ski feels more locked in and is also harder to roll up on edge during the pre-turn. Wing angle is a totally separate issue. If you are using a wing, it has got to have some downward angle. The minimum is about 5 degrees and the maximum about 124 degrees. Common knowledge says the more angle, the better the ski slows down and the more drag the ski encounters while traveling across wakes. I don’t disagree with this, but wing angle plays another important role–it also affects how the ski turns. More wing angle promotes rounded constant-radius turns, while less angle yields a turn that’s slower to start with but very hard to finish. Most skiers like the characteristics of more angle on their off-side turns, and less angle on their on-side turns. Like a lot of things, with fine tuning your ski you must find the best compromise. Spend a lot of time trying new locations and angles you think might not work. You may be surprised how much difference it will make." Tsixam

I´ve got a tip from a coach at Lacanau that helped me a lot. When you have all the basics set, high on the boat, the same speed as the boat and your cm in the right place. Just point the ski in the direction you want to go and let the boat do the work. Don´t try to take more angle or load on the way. It´s much like a bow and arrow. Once you have let the arrow go you can´t change the flight of it. Does it make any sense? Tsixam

If you decide to go for an Elite I have used 67 in very good shape for sale in Europe. Tsixam

I am using http://www.camaro.at/en/wasserski/wetsuits/60_7491_99.php when it is cold. Not as warm as a drysuit, but ok for early and late season skiing and much more comfortable. Tsixam
