  1. We drained our lake a few weeks ago in order to dig it deeper and do some  some maitenance.  As I got off the paddle wheel scraper near the ball three area I see Horton's Signiature staring back at me from the cracked muddy surface below.  Low and behold it was the my Carbon Fin I lost off my Monza earlier in the year.  Awesome!!!!!!
  2. other things skid included;

     

    a cooler

    a coller lid after we couldnt ski the cooler

    a snurfer (a old snow ski previous to a snow board)

     

    made me thing there should be a website called

    www.skianything.com where people could post there best things they are pictured skiing and rate them

     

    what do you think?

  3. We had a crappy windy Labor day weekend out here at our alke.  That lead to the SKI ANYTHING hours of fun.  Here is a pic of me on a Ski Skat 18" long wooden ski.  Had to kick one off to make it up.  Tihng was  rcoket, but the spray was brutal.

     

    Horton,  whats that worth in point to ski a tounry?

  4. A friend of mine dropped his ski the other day and bent one side of his wing up.  He said he could really notice a difference.  Has anyone ever tried a wing with different angles on either side of the fin.  Would this help one side of your turn or wake crossing?

     just a thought

  5. OK.

    Ran myf irst pass this evening (after my real ski set) 30mph 15off.  Managed to sqeak around 2ball.  ski just wants to sink, maybe run at shorter rope to increase speed acrros the wake.  Ski leg almost cut me out on my 2-4-6 sid everytime.  Holy crap, major props to the old schoolers.  This crap is hard.  Tomorrow I think I am skiing with Marcus Brown and Terry Winter,  hoping they will try a quick pass after our sets.

    Pumped to make this something real, friends I have talked to are into it.

  6. I would pay big money for those  gloves.

     Whats next?  Rules any drafts?

    1. Grow out hair
    2. Grow mustache
    3. Start running course at 30mph
    4. Get some Leaded Gas
    5. find kick-ass life vest

    That bottom pic (I think its Chris?) His head is as level as it gets for that postion.  His old school is now new school which then was new school for the old schoolers who are new school  west coasters.

     I'm pumped!

     

     

  7. Bored sitting on the dock on Saturday we started to look around for anything that would float and could be skiied.  I wanted to see and/or hear what everyone else has tried.  Only thing we found was a 5' long 2x12 pressure treated.  Struggled my first two pull ups but then was able to get up.  Next weekend we are having a large camp-out clinic as we are the last stop on Marcus Browns Face-To-Face tour, we are going to have a little "ski what you find" tourney. Let’s see those pics or tell the quick story.
