  1. @Horton‌ If I ever have to re-sign in, I have to go to Safari preferences> privacy> always allow cookies. then sign in. Then I go back to Safari preferences> privacy> always block cookies, so I don't get a bunch of unwanted cookies. Not sure what causes me to have to re-sign in occasionally but I rarely need to lately. Was bad a while back on my iPhone, iPad and Mac. not so much now.
  2. Two weekends ago in the California high desert, air 65F water 55F, so we're still above the magic 100 index. Skied my Camaro 2mm Titanium full suit and my 1mm Camaro Titanium glove liners.

     

    Took one set with my 2mm full Titanium and a 1mm BlackTech full on top, 3mm of Camaro was warm and still very flexible. Sold my drysuit this year, Go Camaro!

  3. @Ed_Johnson‌ They are one millimeter thick, with the silver coating in the inside.

     

    @ahopkinsTXi‌ I wore them under my regular Progear gloves, did not go up a size. Grip was still as good as without them, although I could feel the additional thickness like you can if you wear kevlar liners.

     

    @buski‌ Fit was a bit tight under my regular size Progear gloves but still worked well. Don't think they would stand up well if used instead of my regular gloves.

     

    I do not use the Kevlar liners since I switched to Progear.

     

    These Camaro's are for warmth and should last me the winter easily. $45 to keep my hands warm while skiing is worth it.

     

    Not sure how you will like them if you have sweaty palms.

     

    Past winters I would wear the kevlar liners, topped with thin surgical gloves, topped with my one size up regular ski gloves. Tried these Camaro's with my standard gloves and like it a lot better.

  4. I thought I heard that GPS pucks have firmware that can be set up differently based in read priority! If I understand it correctly, this mean they can be flashed to read speed first and location secondarily. This is important to maintain the most constant speed.

     

    The second way they are flashed is location priority, which causes speed fluctuations.

     

    Perfect Pass pucks work well and are less money than ZO.

  5. I am a MasterCraft Promo owner and own the nicest 2014 ProStar you have ever seen. I didn't buy it to make money on the sale, so I'm selling it for what I have in it. I am part of the Promo team to help the sport grow.

     

    What I read here seems like folks are only looking to buy at "yard sale" prices for a current or one year old boat. If that's the way things are going, Promo programs will suffer and next years season will be pulled by less than current year models. If we don't sell the 2014's, we don't buy the 2015's.

     

    If you're in the market for a boat and do not have one to sell, then to price tag can scare you. If you have one to sell then you just factor the difference. I like to ski the "newest" skis and then sell the old ones and I think of the difference in dollars more like a rental fee. This way I get to ski the new one and the next guy gets last years model. The price is a deal but not a steal. Same goes for Promo boats, look for the "Deal" don't try to "Steal".
