something like this works real well http://www.wetsuitwearhouse.com/page/WW/XH30V I know O'Neill makes one

I might know a guy who works a very early shift and he will often hit the lake on a daily basis, supposedly without the better half knowing what is going on. Apparently it does get difficult for him to explain how he sprained his ankle while sitting at his desk. I've had a couple of instances where I didn't volunteer that I had been to the lake that day, but I quickly figured out the downside was way worse than just being up front about what I was doing.

Wiley's will make their bindings as open toed, if you ask for it.

in the disaster video it looks like you're getting back on the tail of the ski at 1 ball. After that happens it is very difficult to recover, especially at a new line length.

@jalama if you're still in the area there is a club on Nacimento that has maintains a course google far west ski club

I can hear Zero Off winding up to handle those loads all the way from Utah.

It's all about being on edge. If you let the ski flatten out you will feel the wake a lot more than if you edge through it. My $.02 about where to look is to focus on the motor box until you're between the wakes then look toward the ball. This will help you as you speed up and start to shorten the rope. Less bad habits to unlearn. -
I have found that if I focus on feeling the toes on my front foot it helps keep me in a strong position. Focus on being able to wiggle those toes on right foot.

Progression from Combo Skiing to Dropping a Ski to Slalom Skiing
PBD replied to drewski's topic in Technique & Theory
As long as the victim is strong enough to hold on to a deep water start on a single skip the combos. I think there is enough difference between a single and doubles that you really don't gain much by starting with 2 skis. The only time this might not be a factor is if the new skier needs an early success so they don't have multiple failures attempting to get up on a single and then throw in the towel out of frustration. But that is more of a mental issue than a physical one. -
Can any of the medical/physical therapy experts or previous victims of a rib injury give me any exercises or drills that I could do speed the healing process for my bruised ribs? I'd like to get back on the water as soon as possible.
-
Unfortunately a very timely thread. I just bruised my ribs last week. This weekend I tried some free skiing and immediately retired to the bar to drown my sorrows. I had the Radar CGA vest on at the time I slammed into the wake and it didn't save me.

What @shaneh said once you're going 34 mph

I say take it off You really don't need it at those speeds particularly if you're not in the course

In my experience you want to get stacked or "connected" in a strong position as soon as you make your move to the gates. Due to the extra time the glide gives me after the pullout I've often had the problem of leaning into the gates and letting my hands get away from my body. This leads to not being in a stacked position.

The 200011 will be a great ski. The technology has come a long ways in the last 18,000 years :)

I don't have a single response, water in the 60's depends a lot on what the air temperature is and where in the 60's the water is. High 60's and sun, I'm in trunks, low 60's and overcast and/or wind and it's a full suit.

Buyers advice for a ski vest on a public lake
PBD replied to countymountie's topic in News & Other Stuff
What TylerR said I've been using the Radar CGA vest since Christmas and even though it seems bulky it doesn't get in the way and is very comfortable. -
One of the few go-pro videos worth watching.
-
No one said anything about approved boats so my vote goes to an outboard tunnel hull we used to ride behind. Once that thing was on plane the only thing in the water were the prop and the trailing edge of the two sponsons, It barely made a ripple in the water, but you could really pull it around.

I had a neighbor where I ski that had all of his guests sign his "guestbook/client list" for the supposed ski school he was running. His reasoning was he could take deductions for the costs he incurred "running" this school when in fact all he had done was invite friends and family out to ski with him. He did give tips on how to improve and did teach some folks to ski but this was in no way a business. I don't believe he ever put the deductions on his return but he had the paper trail in place.

My record is combined temps in the 80's, forty something air and forty something water. A guy I ski with a lot had a day that was in the 30's for air and 30's for water. I'm glad I missed that day.
