    I’ve used it to some degree. For me it’s more meditative and relaxing than anything. I use it to increase my underwater breathhold time. Helps.

     

    @The_MS - come on, man. That kind of statement about the CDC is evidence of one of the biggest flaws in this country - people somehow thinking they know better about a subject than scientists that have dedicated their lives to research. Have you ever seen the bumper sticker “Don’t believe everything you think”? Just because you don’t like the message doesn’t mean you’re right and they’re wrong.

    Handle guards

    in Skis Fins Bindings

    I was at Gordon’s in Acapulco in ‘08 right before Brett Yager put his head through. Found out about it and was about to put a handle guard on my handle but just didn’t get to it right away and put my arm through at 35 and dislocated my elbow. Out for the season. Agree w @ski6jones - handle guard is not keeping your arm in there.

    Any Top Skiers Wear Soft Boot Bindings

    @JackQ - funny you mention that. Reminds me of back in '06 I was using a sort of predecessor to the T-Factor that Connelly made. Terry W. actually had some input on the design. Can't remember the name of the binding, but it had a funky cable cinch system. I came in and just yanked it off my feet in frustration after a crappy set without first loosening it up. It kinda hurt my Achilles a little, but it seemed like no big deal. Later that day at home was running to jump in the pool with my kids and SNAP!! my Achilles let go all the way. That and the surgery and the cast and the ensuing months of rehab sucked.

    San Diego Mission Bay Fiesta Island ride request

    Yo, SDMBBSC members or just whoever is skiing at Fiesta Island that is here on BOS, could you please help out a Bell Acqua skier looking for a few sets while she (not me) is in SD? Not much in the way of responses to her requests so far, but then I'm not sure she is reaching all the skiers there or not with her inquiries. I told her I'd check in via BOS. Thanks!

    How to ski near your PB in every tournament - find your PB body weight

    Yeah, but seriously...not sure if less weight would up my scores, but it would certainly ease the load on my body and that would be a very good thing. I can eat really well, burn cals a variety of ways, but every single night that one, really nice IPA or DIPA is just sitting there staring at me. That does not help. I'm all in on light and strong being the way to go. Rockclimber strength/weight.
