@lpskier sounds like your back to normal routine after 4 months. My surgeon has initially told me 3 months. @horton interesting that you were out for 9 months...musta been total tear? Mine was pretty rough but not completely torn. The physical therapists tell me for a solid month I'll only be doing passive movement.

the title of this thread is a little misleading I guess. Seems that most posts are actually talking about torn biceps tendons not the muscle itself. I had my torn biceps tendon repaired two weeks ago. The surgeon reattached it by screwing it to my arm bone. The procedure is called tenodesis. For those that had this how long was it before you were back on the water? Just wondering what your experience was like what I can expect realistically. @Horton or anybody that's been through this.

Lake is frozen over solid here in north Alabama couple inches thick. Doesn't happen very often.

I’m missing it a ton. It was my best season in a long time. I last skied on Dec 3. Winter’s definitely set in here in Alabama so it looks like it’s going to be 3 solid months until my next set. The most frustrating thing about skiing is that I get better and better all season long then have to quit for 3-4 months and lose so much of the gains I had made. I’m jealous of your situation @sunvalleylaw Being able to snow ski in the off season would be a pretty good second choice!

pullin' for ya man! Hang in there.

My experience is just the opposite. There is no wake at 28-34 that I can feel. Some at 22 but almost nothing at 28.

@bdecker I agree with you. I have been driving/skiing a 2017 this fall and I find that very brief corrections are all it takes. It's an awesome boat so far.

thanks @AdamCord

@AdamCord is it optimum to be gliding at boat speed when you start your turnin? Or is there some benefit to try being a little faster than the boat? Also what do you use as a reference for initiating the pullout?

Not sure how much room you have around your islands...there is plenty of space around mine and it would be hard to find a lake easier to drive. That being said I would never go around mine at 34mph. More than 26 feels too fast and there's just no reason I can think to go faster than that.

message me if you have one...thanks

Where was Regina?

@ski6jones I noticed that you're traveling from Houston to Nashville. 90 miles south of Nashville I have a sweet lake. It's just a few miles from I-65. If you're passing through you're welcome to a set here.

A minor but annoying thing is the zipper pull is on the wrong side

Some packing and shipping specialists can custom make boxes. Depending where you live you could make a few calls.

@adamcord @adamcaldwell when do skis ship?

@Ed_Johnson the other big one is to slow down as little as possible before apex then do what you said. Not sure how that relates to skiing...anyway that's what I learned from the performance driving I've done.

@cragginshred did Dave ever ski in the southeast? His name sure sounds familiar...maybe he helped at a tournament at my place in Alabama many, many years ago

@AdamCord I placed an order but haven't received the ski yet...can I go ahead and join the Denali forum? Not sure how to access it, if so. And can you give me any updates on how production is going?(order #95)

@skidawg what are the 4 main things you mentioned? Apologies if you posted them and I missed it.

Best wishes...hope your back in action very soon!

What happened to the videos?

I've been having trouble getting good gates all summer. This year and in the past I frequently would overrun even when I was sticking to my initiation marker. I was putting a lot of effort into the pullout and would often be to fast when it was time to turn in. Today I made sure to focus my first bit of effort of the pullout into getting the ski pointed wide. This made a huge difference in success. When I got good angle I never once felt too fast at the turnin point and it really set me up for the positive things mentioned earlier in the thread....gradual turnin and buildup of angle, strong leverage position, and easy unload going into one.

Right foot forward, reflex sz 8 Thanks

MS, thanks for ponying up! ...come down when it arrives and take some sets on it :-)
