  1. I’m in Washington State. A physician friend of mine came back positive 10 days ago and was only tested because he had a mild fever and dry cough but was in the medical community. His entire family of 6 is assumed positive and have been in quarantine their house together with the same symptoms. Their symptoms are are improving. When they are symptom-free for seven days they can be released. The state only counts that as one positive. Is it doubtfull he would’ve ever been tested if he wasn’t a doctor.
  2. Awkward time for the sport when you have to completely avoid talking about the winner of mens slalom. Great summary though
  3. Loved calling Wiley’s, and having to be harassed by by Paul before he would take my order. Great character

    Nautique 206

    I ski behind a 206 with a tower and 196 with out a tower. There is no comparison in the wakes. I think part of it is that you can’t get all the water out of the bladders
  6. From what I can tell there is no law that can prevent damage from a massive surfboat in a average size lake other than size restriction Waves generated carry for miles now. They destroy shoreline and docks and as I said before just about any other activity you wanna do on the lake. We get giant waves that hit our shoreline long after the boats are gone. Our lake is about a mile and a half wide and 5 miles long I can’t imagine what they’re doing on smaller lake. Current wake restriction is 200 feet from the end of your dock which is more than you need for a water skiing boat.
  7. I love water skiing but on our lake in North Idaho if I had a choice between massive surfboards turning the lake into a ocean and destroying the shoreline and no boats, i would have to go with no boats. A middle ground needs to be found. Operating 200 feet off the shoreline does near nothing to reduce the size of waves with the current generation of surf boats and makes other activities such as swimming, sailing, skiing or just cruising the lake unpleasant.
  8. Waterskiing is to uptight for the Chili Peppers
  9. Every carve has some degree of slipping it wont hold the carve. Even on ice skates you to sink into the ice ever so slightly.
  10. All i know is that I’m addicted to spending money on high end sporting goods and I probably won’t change
  11. I would like to see a 2001 Mapple. The last high end narrow tunnel ski I remember.
  12. Smith in his apology statement mentions nothing of sex with a minor which he admits to in the Safesport report. Why not.
  13. Replacing mine that leaks. Heatercraft is in Hayden lake, Idaho, where my cabin is. Picking it up this week at the plant. They said they have improved it a bit to prevent cracking when frozen. We’ll see.
  14. 200 Open bow. Nothing else coms close in an open bow 5.7 is fine. Trailering is not an issue. 206 naitique isn't close to the wake and pull of the 200.
  15. I have a 1999 sport which is the same hull as 2001. It skis about the same as the 206 and better than the 216 of the early 2000’s
  16. HO Phantom Truth - Seemed incredibly fast because it was so unpredictable
  17. 1999-2001 sport nautique. 20.5ft version of bubblebutt hull. 0pen bow, gt 40 engine
  18. Thager way to start digging a hole
  19. Didn't have to turn my phone sideways. Nice!
  20. A boat with a tower should cost less because they are dam ugly.
  21. The new Ski Nautique is awesome at slower speeds and longer line lengths. We demoed one yesterday. My wife especially liked driving and open water skiing behind it..
