Oh yeah, Sully is right. Go to public waters, then let em rip!

At the Nats I heard the A-3 should be ready in about 3 weeks. I would equate that as the final design stages with CNC molds ready shortly after. My uneducated prediction would be Thanksgivingish.

Webbdawg, You are a bit shallow for normal water temps. If you are skiing in hot water (like 95 degrees) you may need shallow to keep the skis' speed. As the water cools, you'll need to go to more stock settings.

"Damn Tailwinds"!

Plenty of good points here. Keep it up. Well said Leon.

I'll come down as long as there is no LSU stuff in the lake's name. LOL

Jody is correct. Time on the skis is KEY! It is impossible to clock in quality time on a private slalom pond. It is time for rivers, big lakes and open water.ride the skis, launch over the wakes, learn to edge and make plenty of turns. Long jump pulls on a 75' rope are much more effort than short slalom pulls that are 8/10's of a second. Once Junior can clear BOTH wakes on the jump skis, then, it's time to go to the "big red wedge"! DO NOT tell him the day before he gets to go over it. He won't sleep the night before. (Still addicted after 47 years of jumping)

Wanna play? Gotta Pay!

I'll help JTH!

I Love it!

I skied for 52 years with a rear toe strap before switching to double boots. I never had a problem coming out of the rear boot. BUT, the shorter set ups sent me to a double boot. I think that it has caused some torque on my hips that the kick-in never did. Some ask why I don't just stay with the kick in and get up with my rear foot in? Well, I always used the bad-ass sand paper type non-skid and kicking in in the water is not an option.

My Eagle is getting quite ripe also. I have found that soaking in a bathtub with a dash of Simple Green will do the trick.

When in doubt? Call Jody seal!

Lucille was an honorary Team Tennessee Nasty Boy sweetheart. She was a wonderful person. I met her in Ohio in 1966 (my first year competing).

We ski on public water. One of the guys put those in. I tied them under the first day. They never were seen again. Maybe he pulled them down when he finished, or maybe he just pulled them out. Very distracting.

MasterLine K-palms or master curves. Red and Black with kevlar on the heels of your palms. Not on the fingers Almyra fingers. They must have discontinued them b ecause they lasted too long. Straightline Rockets are good too.

I hate it when that happens!
