@Ipskier not sure the term "Hot" is appropriate, in the Groove or Talented is the sort of terminology , that would be more acceptable, after the Safe Sport standards and recomendations , not sure, if you looked up the meaning of "Hot" the description would read "Athletically very gifted and skiing at the top of the game"

Just for Info, at one point in time to make the UK team, you had to do all three events.

When you look at how many events Nautique tow and how many Mastercraft tow it would be unfair and counter productive to restrict Joel as far as performance goes. Joel is now one of the Faces that promotes Mastercraft, it doesn't really matter, what he trains or skis behind, at Events and on those Glossy Mastercraft Brochures, Joel will represent Mastercraft, it couldn't get better for Mastercraft, Great Choice !

I really would like to Joel Poland, win the overall, but I do not think, he has jumped 70m + . Correction in another thread somebody states that he has jumped 230ft which equates to 70.7 metres 1m is such a small distance, but huge when it comes to Jumping He is going to have to give it everything and more. I am sure a large percentage of Water Skiers will be willing him on, I will be glued to the Screen in anticipation, Joel truly is a extraordinary talent, he is Special, no doubt about it. What direction is the wind, if any tomorrow at Sunset Lakes

Go Joel ! Go Radar ! Awesome 41 Off, so C'mon Radar Lovers your Ski is as capable as any of the Others that have run through 41 Off. GO RADAR !

Go Joel ! Go Radar, that 41off looked Awesome !!!!!!!!!

@SportSki I have changed from the Rubber to the Radar Adjustable, the Rubber tears or Splits in the same place as the stitching goes, Radar Adjustable don,t tighten them too much, this allows for your foot to lift without damaging the stitching, haven,t felt like my foot is going to come out as yet and I am not running it tight just a snug fit.

Ultimately ! the ski that your are most consistent on.

Joel will be a Great ambassador, for Mastercraft, on and off the water. They have certainly backed a winner, to represent their Brand.

Great Picture, Always Smiling, way to go Joel 👍

Promoting the Worlds and Water Skiing, could possibly benefit USAWSWS in membership, further down the road, speculate to accumulate sort of scenario.

@Mateo_Vargas that was at Princes in in the UK, Pro Am event, he went over on his back, there were two photograhers on that jump how he didn't take them out I don't know. Apart from logistics and the position of a Jump, I have to agree it should be in a safe location, but some lakes do not have the space, it is not a simple task of moving the Jump, because you have to move the Jump Course Bouys as well, the alternative is to move the Slalom Course, yet again a big task , for safety you could just put a inflatable wall around the jump, not ideal but better than nothing.

So there has been several top events at Sunset Lakes (Travers), if I remember last year there were some top scores. I am sure somebody put up a score into 43 Off ( 9.75m ) Maybe Will Asher What I would like to ask is why nobody, has brought these opinions to the fore, in previous events ?

@Drago I like my 2023 Vapor Pro as it is, haven't really got around to giving the Whisper Fin a go, I used to have a reputation as a Fin Fiddler, but manage to get myself away from Fin Fiddling and spend more time skiing.

So is the Whisper Fin still as popular as it was in the beginning, I have a Brand new one sitting in my Ski Chest, can it make a difference, quite a few people I know, that were running the Whisper Fin, appear to have gone back to the Standard Fin arrangement, not sure many Pro Skiers are running the Whisper' I am curious because there was such a Buzz when they first became available.

Swing , surely most people who were kids at one point in their life, must of gone to the park or play ground and used a swing, the only difference with water skiing is that the crossbar is vertical, build momentum kick through the center line and swing up the other side. The only real difference is that the crossbar is moving. Simples 😀

@UWSkier 😂😂😭😭😭😭

Unsolved mystery, apparently the boat feels OK now! 🙄

To be honest, I am not sure if anything is wrong, at all, it,s just that two very good skiers are telling me that the boat seems to be gassing them in the wrong place on tournament mode but not recreational mode, which clearly does not add up if both modes react the same.

Boat hours 90 engine 6.0 prop the same as the other boats that we have had,. Would like to know the latest revision of Zero Off ? I am thinking rev S, would 2023 nautique ship with rev S ?

I ask because we have a short setup, the new boat struggles to get to 36mph probably half a boat length before pre gates, I drive. 35-38 off skier he is struggling to get the feel he is looking for, but said it feels better in recreational mode, he skis at another lake, different water and longer setup with no issues, he was quite happy until we got the new boat, I drive him the way I have always driven him, but just lately he showing signs of frustration, not being able to work it out. Not sure if the boat can be remapped, remembering we run gas injected LPG in the UK .

Can anybody enlighten me on the differences between Zero Off Tournament mode and Recreational mode, especially what the boat is doing on the setup and gate shot ? Thankyou

Get a Hard Dog Ball ( approx 4-5 inch ) take the pain sit on it and move it around , followed by piriformis Stretch, once or twice a day, everyday, vary the stretch, there is plenty of different methods shown on youtube. Get a roller for your back, after stretching, put the roller on the base of your back and let your butt hang on the other side of the roller, put your hands back over your head, to create a stretch in the lower back and wait for the release in your back muscles. Eventually it will back off, but not a quick fix. No Medical advice given, just what worked for me.

Good job, should be able to source some Domed nuts on Amazon or Ebay for the rear
