  1. @Rich According to the Water Skier, Frankie Dees won M2 slalom with 3@32off, Dave was 2nd with 2@32. Still a nice accomplishment for him.

     

    The conditions are always challenging at Berkeley Aquatic Park with a near constant cross-wind off of the SF bay, fast salt water and normally chilly weather. Scores were always lower there than most anywhere else. Glad I don't ski there anymore.

  2. I skied in M2 at these Berkeley Nationals in 1977. But I don’t remember the details of the OM runoff.

    Here are the results from The Water Skier magazine:

    KLP 3@35 1

    Mark Crone 2 ½@ 35 2

    Chris Redmond 2@35 3

    Bill Chisnell 2@35 4

    Hugh Peterson 2@35 5T

    Tony Krupa 2@35 5T

    Bob LaPoint 1 ½@35 7

    So four skiers tied with 2@35 and Hugh and Tony ended up tied for 5th. I bet they ran out of loops on the official towline and just called 5th place a tie.

  3. Tom Davis

    Former placekicker for the San Francisco Forty Niners - nope, that was Tommy Davis

    Former Iowa Basketball coach & politician - nope

    Actually I work for Nationwide Insurance for another 9 months until retirement arrives

    Also do a little work for @Horton on the history & results part of BOS (top of any BOS page - Home | History | Rankings&Scores)

  4. My Nano One Toob™ arrived last Friday from Fedex so I had all weekend to dial it in. My “Beer Holder” settings are depth 4.75, length 2.875 and DFT 5’ 11.65”. The flex numbers are off the chart. Anyone tried other settings? I’m thinking I need a little more depth (yep the beer flew outta the holder a couple of times).

  6. I've been on one for almost a month. Tried the 65.25 and it felt like I was skiing on a ski that was too small for me. It turned great on both sides, but I really felt unstable crossing the wake. Called Goode and they sent me the 66 (after I returned the 65). It turns just as good and feels much more stable. I'm 6 foot 197 and ski 34 mph. This ski turns best when I don't try to make it turn, just get it on edge and let it carve. Neither the 65 or 66 feels "fast" but as others have said, it just seems to get you where you need to be.
