  1. So September 25 I tore my Ulnar Collateral Ligament in my inside right elbow, jumping. I think it hyperextended in my sling. I have the option of Tommy John Surgery to fix it. The doctors tell me that unless I use it to throw a baseball or something similar I do not need surgery. The question is does slalom, trick or jump have anything to do with this ligament. 

    Has anyone else had problems with this ligament and waterskiing, any expiereince would be great. Should I have surgery or just rehab over the winter and go from there. The doctor said if I dont have surgery shortly I wont be able.

  2. THE FIN BOX IS WORLDS ABOVE THE OLD LINE LOCK, LIGHT AND ADJUSTABLE. 

    NATE SMITH ((M1) 39.5OFF SKIER FROM INDIANA) WAS UP AT OUR LAKE TWO WEEKS AGO. BOTH OF US ON THE ELITE. BOTH HIM AND I ARE RUNNING 11 DEGREES ON OUR WING. I AM ON A 68.5" HE IS ON A 67". I RAN THE STOCK NUMBERS GIVEN (68"):  BOOT: 30 1/8"   LENGTH  6.870 (tips)   DEPTH  2.515   TAIL     .820                AND COULD NOT MAKE THE SKI TURN AT ALL. GOT HIS NUMBERS (67") AND MOVED THE BOOTS TO  29 3/4     AND FIN TO:         TAIL .781     DEPTH 2.52     LENGTH 6.833 AND THE SKI HAS COME ALIVE. IT IS AMAZING. I AM JUST WAITING FOR THE BUOYS AT 22 AND 28   36MPH. I JUST SIT BACK AND LETTHE SKI CREATE ITS ANGLE AND IT IS AMAZING. THE FACT THAT ALL THE NUMBERS ARE SUPER CONSISTANT IS AMAZING AS WELL.
