  1. Just going to drop this little bit of info here....I've seen 35-40 stitches and almost a section of lip gone from a plop over one time. The skier had successfully ridden out 2 or 3, then sat back on the landing on the next one. The rope came tight and snatched him over the front where he hit somewhere between his upper lip and nose on the front of the skis. Before that I though it was relatively harmless to pull a beginner. The skier was what would have been considered a level 9 slalom skier at the time.

    That being said, jumping is exciting but the better you get, the more painful the mistakes are.

     

  2. Last year Malibu ran from sunup to sundown+, also a tournament on Sunday after Malibu.

    Charleston is one of the oldest cities in the US, so lots of US history, beaches, seafood, plantations, shopping, cultural events. Tourism is one of the highest revenue producers here...(at least that's what they tell me)

  3. Looks like they were using a section that stayed on the tow bar, my guess is that a non switch rope was used on a switch section. When perfect pass and accuski were in their early days we had a tournament using boats with each. I was in charge of the ropes and noticed 2 top level women skiers (that had skied numerous events at our site) were skiing a pass better than I had ever seen them ski, I went to check to make sure they were using the right rope for each boat. They had gotten them mixed up so we restarted the event. Not saying that happened here but it could have.
  4. I've had it several times, deep massage of all parts of the foot (especially the bottom). Rolling a golf ball on a rubber mat (bottom of foot massage. Range of motion exercises. I'm a big fan of the boot that @Vsquires referenced as well seems to really help with the mornings which was the worst for me. When I get something like this, I try everything.
