@Horton I’m not convinced they exist

I used this yesterday and it worked great! Totally worth the $10. Everyone with an iphone should download it.

There are a bunch of examples here https://youtube.com/@BallOfSpray?si=m-MfYf_yWUfLajRe

@swbca I haven't read this whole thread so I apologize if this has been covered - There is more material than you think before you hit the core, certainly enough to change the ski and make it act completely different. And if you're like me and you sand into the core sometimes, just soak it with epoxy and keep going. Ignore anyone who tells you not to modify your ski. Take it from someone who has been modifying skis for a long time...everyone thinks you're crazy when you do it, that's just part of the deal. I'll give one warning: almost every ski I've ever modified the bevels on has ended up trash. This is because if I make a change and it's better, I'll inevitably keep sanding to try and make it better-er...until I go to far and it starts to really suck. That's just part of the process though, enjoy!

Pretty sure Joel hit 1 ball. His dismount was very impressive

@HortonI know you've always wanted this, go ahead and send your resume here: https://www.teamworkonline.com/olympic-jobs/usngbjobs/usa-water-ski/executive-director-2053845

That ski is sliding sideways, as is evident by the spray. It's entirely possible to hit it and have your front foot still go outside of it... as @jjackkrashsaid you need to see the next frame to determine if it's a buoy or not.

Along with the announcers the webcast in general was really good. TWBC has really raised the bar and it’s good to see that other non-TWBC webcasts putting together high quality webcasts. My hat’s off to Kevin Kelm and the webcast team in Cali.

@Jaypro We have small teams of ski testers at both Trophy Lakes and Hilltop Lake that we have been abusing over the past few months. Skill sets range from 32mph 22off to 34mph 39off. We've asked those guys to stay tight lipped about what they are experiencing. Skis start shipping to customers in 2 weeks....

I’d pay for that.

Caldwell making 39@36 look like an opener...

@MattP from memory so may not be correct, best scores today: OM Asher 3@41 Caldwell 1.5@41 Bartalsky 3@39 OW Bull 1@41 Mills 3@39 MM Me 3.5@41 Miller 1.5@41 Two more rounds tomorrow

Ok so what were the results? The internet does not appear to know this event took place...

Thank you guys...the endeavor over the last year to create this ski has been much more ambitious and fraught with potential risk/failure than anything we've done in the past. One of these days we'll have to tell the story on a podcast or something. Let's just say that those memes that show the path to success as a winding road instead of a straight line are spot on! This ski is different....it's too early to say whether it's going to be industry changing or not, but so far the success it's causing is hard to ignore. FYI I'm not skiing any more than normal, and am still working full time and raising my kids up here in Seattle. We don't plan to go into detail about exactly what this ski is. I will say that it is WIDE. Other than that we are keeping it under wraps because it took a ton of work to fine tune all the other aspects of the ski. @Taperflex We are going to start producing them in small quantities next month. @adamhcaldwell hand builds each one at our shop in Charleston, so quantities will be limited to start. The plan is to keep building skis over the winter so that in the spring we have an inventory built up before summer. Then we should be able to start to keep up with demand.
