i have dealt with Seth a lot and have always been treated fantastic. I dont think he gets a ton of skiis back because he will talk with you about what you are looking for, your ability level and and history of what has or hasnt worked for you. He then will recommend a ski for you to try. He is really good at finding the right fit for you and he will do whatever he can to make it right for you. With that being said if your not happy with what you get, he will send you another one to try without any hassles. I recomend him to anyone.

My buddy had ZO put on as an after market. Had to change out the ECM. Works great. We found out that the malibu factory cruise was waaaaay out and a pain to recalibrate. No problems with the ZO.

I have a 2001 lx and my ski partner has a 2008 lx both have great buttery soft wakes. I have skied behind a 2010 lxi and it had huge wakes in comparison. both boats have the 515. I was told that this is by far the most recommended prop by the majority of skiers. i have never tried one with a different prop

skied yesterday water was 45, air was 50, together it makes it in the 90's does that count???

i believe Robyn Regier ( hockeys Toronto Maple leafs) is a 35 off skier certainly has a long enough off season to work on it :)

personaly i think the biggest problem with the picture is that i'm not in it!!!

here in winnipeg also known as winterpeg, the coldest major city in the world, went skiing today, water 44f, air 45 f, 10 days earlier than our previous record set 2 yrs ago, and 1 month earlier than normal!!!!!

Up where I am we have public water everywhere you look. Only 2 private lakes that I can think of. Both have reasonable prices. In 99 we held the Pan AM games and the waterskiing sold out fast. Was one of the most popular sports, they even had to increase the seating. On the public lake that I have a cabin at, the skiing, (weekend rec skiers) is starting to exceed the wakeboarders. I install and maintain our course every year and pay for it by myself, it is open to public use, and is slowly seeing more traffic but still very minimal. A few years ago some people started up our ski club again which goes through phases, as kids grow up it dies, as they have kids it starts again. When they started it this last time, they had over 200 paying members, on a lake that has approx 100 cabins. There were 2 sides to the club, rec ski/wakeboard, and competitive. ( a great way to pomote the sport) They soon moved the competitive side to one of the tournament lakes that is run by the waterski assoc. At first it was open to all competitve athletes. It slowly moved to only the top rated skiers could use it. (creating an elitist system and reducing the numbers) As some of the parents who run its kids were being surpased, the qualifications to be the "top rated skier" were changed to manipulate the system. (eliminating some good skiers and further ruducing the numbers). This totally killed both the ski club because they abonded the rec skiers who were the root for the competitve club, and the competitive club because there was no one left to support it financially. I have spoken with many rec skiers who have no idea what a course looks like or that you can even compete in skiing. Many have said they would love to learn. There is no advertising or education anywhere aobut how to get involved in this sport. I realized that this is a assoc issue. Whenever anybody I talked to hears that I have a boat, they always ask if I could teach or take them skiing cause they love it. They held a competition her once, a 10 yr ran the qualifiying standard for nationals. It didnt count because the timers werent working. He ran it again and again and again. Finally they got the timing working but he missed it the last time and never made it to nationals because of the rule book. At 10 yrs why not use a friggin stop watch. Who cares if hes slightly out of tolerance anyway it wont change anything at nationals. I competed in another sport when I was younger. They used to have "qualifying" competitions. The last one before nationals the scores were inflated to make sure they got as many kids qualified as possible. This increased the numbers and kept them motivated. They would still have to compete on a level field once they got there anyway. Our problem is accessability, elitists asses, lack of promotion, and a rule book thats way to complicated. If you held a pro tour stop here and promoted it, I fully beleive it would do well and spark interest. It will never compete with hockey, (canadian eh!!) but at least it gives them an alternative fun family summer activity. More people would be attracted to this sport if they new more about it. This sport has everything, beautiful athletes, summer outside fun, beach, big horsepower, beer (after on the shore off couse) and water, the salvation from the heat. To many selfish people trying to kept it for themselves, until that changes, SINKING SHIP!!! Side note, there are alot of NHL`ers that ski and wakeboard as a summer acitvity. Just my 2 cents.

I replaced my starter with an automotive one in the past. It works just fine, BUT.... there is a big difference between them as posted above. My insurance guy, who is also a good friend told me if anything happens insurance wouldnt cover it, so I'd say its not worth it. Just my 2 cents

I'm thinking about getting a tatoo, who has a water ski related tatoo, lets see them

sorry, just double checked the website, its whitney, nicole, regina, breanne, then karina, way to go ladies!!!

those are the womens elimanation results, whitney, regina, nicole, then breanne

whitney, Karina, Regina.....of course im canadian

also with h20z, there's no gators!!!!

We had seth up here once and I've since gone down to h20z twice, we are booking a another trip there this fall and my wife is planning to ski this time as well. his coaching is top notch tailored to your style. He isn't gonna try to make you ski like Asher or Parrish, he is gonna make you ski like you, only better. I love the relaxed atmosphere, and second the stay at folly beach. Can't say enough good things about it.

stay away from early or late eveining skiing at least at the start, as this will piss off the none skiiers instantly. try to use newer boats that are quieter than the older ones. nothing gets people riled up faster than 325hp at 6 am

I just changed over to the reflex and absolutley love them, I am similar in size to yourself and am Canada so I also have a short season. For the best advice I would call Seth at h20proshop.com, they can tell you all the ups and downs of each system, and they carry pretty much all of them. Awesome set of guys there, good luck
