from bellingham to bouderline is 1/2 hr drive. the pond is 5 mins off I-5, very easy to find. plus there is lots of room for camping if desired. the pond has great wind protection. It is one of my favorite ski lakes. lots of setup time and a great jump venue. I drive there 3-4 times a year from wenatchee the center of the state it only takes me 3/12 hrs. when I lived in the seattle area I would be there 2-3 times a week only 2 hr drive. PS I drive a litte faster then most people heavy right foot. The Goodman's are great people and Terry is a great coach. the night jump is very cool. I'm going try to make it up for the night jump.

snow ski, some master racing, mtb ride, Hunt

ARC releaseable water ski bindings the first hard shell on the market, I beleive ski tech( reflex) came out a yr or two after the Arc system Deano

TW had a great diagram of how to power pp sg direct with a napa relay part. hes banned from this site but he might find him on water ski forum. I can not find the diagram in my computer. someone else here may have it. best of luck Deano

Good Luck!! we lost our coarse after 35yrs dam fish,game and THE PUD. free ski and private ponds now. Deano

drill or grind the rivets out and revite or use t-nuts. I used t nuts. Deano

Radar has got to be one of the best lake ever! clear water great wind protection. the water is fast and the ski sits deep in the turns. I always ski great there! Deano

Chef 23,if you buy a new boot and flip the back cleat over it will fit the 404 release. I just did this to the new white slalom boot I bought. Deano

Jody, first mount the plate to the ski, make sure the heel level has some resistance when pulling the heel lever up onto the block, when the boot is in the system the heel lever should not be able to be pulled the boot heel block.( if it does move the heel 1 whole forward and test agian. Then test the release like brent desribed. puting the boot on have the ski on a padded surface with fin off the ground, the moving forward OTF and adjust the release where you want it. Im 185 b-190 lbs i ski at 6 My freinds all ski at different # ranging from 4-6 The top of the boot might need to be cut off i know lots of skier cut the upper cuff down for move ankle movement. I think it skis better lower. Deano

I'm with Eric on this one I have a few freinds that use high end skis with reflex and rtp and they are -15 skiers at 32 mph . the hard shell helps protect the ankle,because they fall alot in their learning process. I have put them on mid priced skis and they ski worse. a lot of the new skis are great at 30-34 mph -15. I can think of 4-5 freinds that are in this group. I believe reflex with a rtp is the safest setup. but thats opinion being a snow skier I like the mechanical release. when the snow melts ski it agian! have fun think short Deano

I'm 185-190 lbs 6'1 and ski a 66 starda had a original 67 starda loved it pb on it 3-38 34mph, but the 66 turns better both sides for me. try a 66 I ski cold water 75-80 max water temps in the summer here in the NW Deano

Fwl took out our coarse after 35yr at CB wa becareful them types dont like coarse skiers!!!

we should all teach one new person to ski each yr! I like to teach kids to ski seeing their face light up is priceless. Deano

started in willy's went to Ho anaimals, tried rs-1 could not ski in two hard shells I like a real lose back foot, went to reflex front Ho back 4 yrs ago had to cut the upper cuff down and make a few other boot mods like cp, willy and maple do. Remi help me with this over the phone, I work for head wintersport and do lots of Alpine boot mods for atheletes ramp angle canting lowering cuff ect. I not afriad to cut some plastic plus I have all the tools, out of the box they are unskiable for me once modified they are the bomb get the boots tight same every time, set the release where you want. more pros use Reflex then any other boot system just to name a few Jody F, marcus B, will A,Chris P,Seth S,Andy M, wilson Bros and most of the HO team and the designers. off to the slopes ski ya later Deano

Whats holding me back is. DFW took out our coarse at crescent Bar after it had been there for 35 yrs!! Now I have to drive 2hrs each way to get go water. now we are looking for s new spot, closer to home. Deano

66 i'm 185 on a 66 Deano

I work them snow ski racers with head products we cut the front and the side of the snow ski boot upper plactic down and leave the back tall this is to allow for more ankle movement so the skier can create bigger angles, a tall boots reduces the amount of angle the skier can get, look at will's reflex and andy maples reflex they cut the Uppper cuff down to allow more ankle movement. the stealth is tall but its not plactic. Deano head wintersport

I think if you want to ski 35 you should just step it up and ski at 36!! at 47 I dont want to ski at 35 34 is fine with me my 2 cents Deano

thats because FL is warm water!!! I;m in the nw warm water is 80 most of my skiing is in 68-70 degrees we start the season in april with 50 ish temps. Deano

can not go wrong with a strada!! forgiving and fast!

like snow ski binding which reflex is. its better to leave the boot out of the system. Deano head wintersport

check the fin and setting. things get banged around. I had this happen to me fin was real shallow. watch some great skiing vids. I watch will A and nate smith.

Herbs lk Radar sweet clean fast water. ski sits deep in the turns first place I ran -35. boarderline Goodmans ponds shallow lk skis great, has great wind coverage with all the trees around the pond. Deano
