My front binding is 30.75", my size 14s won't allow 30.25" setup and further forward is better for me. Running Schnitz Slot fin. http://www.proskicoach.com/skis/Radar/Senate%20C/2009

http://www.marcshaw.net/ has summary and updates too.

It is disappointing that Strada boots have a limited size range. They are too large for my wife and too small for me. Radar made a special pair for Whitney so maybe there is hope. I have not seen the Obrien Elite or Prodigy yet but wonder if either is similar to the Strada boot.

Try the slot fin in the Senate C too.

GOODE POWER VEST PASSES AWSA TECHNICAL COMMITTEE REVIEW By Jerry Jackson, AWSA TC Chairman 7/18/2010 The Technical Committee (TC) has evaluated the Goode Power Vest as requested. The results showed that the Goode Power Vest does NOT have restrictions that would prevent its use at any AWSA Sanctioned Tournament. The Goode Power Vest should be worn as indicated in the owner’s manual. A survey was performed by the TC Committee and Safety Committee, and the conclusions were the same from a majority of the members. It is believed that the Goode Power Vest will NOT provide an advantage. The use of the vest (structural design) does not increase the risk of injury to a skier. It appears that it would allow a person to continue skiing if injured (shoulder, back, elbow, etc), just as a knee brace. In addition, if this Goode Power Vest did provide an advantage, it would be treated as a sling for jumping. There is no AWSA/IWWF rule that would disallow the use of this vest. Although all skiers ski at their own risk, it is recommended that the guard rash be worn to prevent the strip from being loose in case of a fall to mitigate injury as indicated in the owner’s manual. The Technical Committee and Safety Committee recommend to the AWSA President to notify all tournament hosts and safety directors of the evaluation results. The vest is allowed to be used. The Tournament Safety Director should ensure the guard rash is available on the vest and inform the skier of the importance of the guard rash.

I have seen Contech Armor Plate used for shoreline protection. Concrete blocks and steel cable make up a blanket. http://www.contech-cpi.com/ess/products/contech_hard_armor/armortec_family/armorflex/220 Here is a picture of the lake http://search.har.com/engine/L-30-B2-Red-Oak-Dickinson-TX-77539_HAR6037881.htm

There was some very good skiing & jumping yesterday in spite of the poor conditions. It was windy with a bit of rain as a front moved through. Tyler Boyd kept the crowd entertained with his announcing. It figures that lakes turn to glass on Sunday for the trickers. The sun is out and everyone is having fun.

In central Texas it's the water. I feel bad for these guys. http://www.waterskiaustin.com/Lakes/drought2009.htm

The Arm-Guard is well thought out and not obtrusive. My wife has had one for a month and doesn't notice it. Initial space for the hand was 2.5 Inches because we concerned about hitting the panel. I think we will move it up the handle to close the gap a bit. I will order one as soon as I decide on what to replace my worn out Accurate ARS that is down to the metal bar.  The customer service from Arm-Guard is 5 star. Rapid communication. Fast turn-around on custom orders. I think they go too far sometimes like mailing stuff overnight.  As a bonus, a portion of the sales price was going to Brett Yeager kids' fund.  Jay Gilbert
