@Horton Sounds like you need to come up with a number that will get the masses on board. 15-20-25-40 bucks. Definately a fun (and maybe faster) alternative. I am onboard for 2 at 25 or below John.

thanks Richard appreciate that...contacted Greg already. Possibly a bit early for the midweek groups down there because of weather. Will try him again. Think I will help Warren repair his course that the wakeboarders tore up recently down at Koppert and earn a few merit badges.

Keep making Radar proud Richard.

looking to join a group. If you need an extra skier for your group shoot me a message.

Will contribute money, jokes, sweat equity etc.

@MattP ...EP was short for Exceptional Performance. A guy named Lucky Lowe rode the Stiletto. Love the 2 handed short line drill. I really need to do that.

whoops...not qualified to offer any view. Apologize.

-also- addressing tail riding an RTP helped me from rocking back and forth. That is if the RTP is posistioned where my toes are touching the back horseshoe. If its too far back could not bend my front ankle or knee enough and my hips would have a tendency to stay back. But thats just me. I am a low level skier. Tons of good info here and all been said before I am sure...I would definately try an RTP ...love it.

Have modified H.O., Connelly, D3 and Wiley rear toe plates a few times. Depending on foot shape you could be a size 9 street shoe with higher instep and wider...who knows...but need an X-Lrg toe slip so you can slide your paw up in there. A size Medium or STD (lrg) size can prevent you from getting up touching or on your rear horse shoe plus your instep could be pushed back. So removal and repositioning the strap forward or back is an option without cutting the plate. Check out the different rubber quality of the straps on diff barnds if you decide to try the RTP. Some are definately more comfortable higher quality and more pliable fixed units (non adjustable type). They hold you in better too. The most comfortable type that will fit the hole pattern on your ski is what you want imo. I have an H.O. Ski and use another brand for an RTP.

our donation now means a bigger turn out of pros later which will attract the attention. This sport feeds our souls like a lot of other things. Give it a chance and commit. Vote for our sport with your wallet like Bruce said. We are the seeds of growth.

Great stuff. These two guys are such hero's to me and this great sport. CP is a big guy that is so smooth. Just sick...look at Chris's back arm pressure on his 1 3 5 side LFF. Cool

I have appealed to my wife the financial aspects of what we could get for dollars spent since I rented a villa for a week at Swiss...retire with more dollars in the bank...in fact every year i go through this faze she says...snakes and gators and bugs over rule it everytime with her...in the long run its cheaper to keep her :)

maybe Cali hmm. 10 months in Cal hangin around Sunset Ski Ranch on my off time was a nice.

perfect...will see if I get an answer. gracias muchacho's

gregy thanks...did not really consider a boat purchase but I owned a 97' and a 98". Shot the guy an email. Shipping to Washington? Thought I saw someone in the know about shipping post on another discussion topic.

cool...thanks Matt. ditto KTM and will record the info. Badal set up a softer flex 67 for me. I do not know the flex numbers yet but can post when the ski arrives if anyone is interested. He also set up the fin for me and I will not mess with it until someone super savvy can see how I ski after several sets in this cold PNW water. Have baggy will ski :) Been a long time for this ol' guy but stoked to get back on the water even at slower speeds and much longer line.

Kudo's to Greg Badal for helping me get set up. Bought one from him today. Been off the water for 4 to 5 years. No reason good enough just glad I have made the decision to get back and learn what I can and hope to share good times.
