  1. I got it thanks for the heads up. Politics and religion, nothing like a good fight with a hornets nest.
  2. So I got my fin from Radar the other day Thanks Guys. Also Eddie returned my call and made sure I was taken care of. Its nice to see this level of customer support. I realize they are very busy with the 2011 stuff. Thanks Again Radar and thanks to Ryan and Eddie
  3. Sounds like I may be buying a new vest. I have looked at the eagles before know its time to try one.
  4. Good laugh in the middle of a monday, thanks
  5. Speaking of only one good one. I think its just the first one of a new concept. Who can forget "Animal House" and all the movies it spawned after it.
  6. Ok Ryan came through and is shipping my fin today. Thanks Radar
  7. email sent along with voicemail and whisper.
  8. Interesting topic I have been waterskiing for 42 yrs now and snow skiing for about the same. I worked in the snow ski field for some 25 yrs. I saw the evolution of snowboarding and wake boarding. Both have giving the their respective industries shots in the arm. I watched the skier numbers decline the increase again with the next generation of kids and their new tricks. I dont think you can base the growth or decline of a sport on how much money is spent or who is showing up to a competition that day. Just because peeps are not spending money doesnt mean they are not skiing. I think skiing is alive and well. Water skiing has been mainstream has it?
  9. Called and left a message for eddie
  10. I have been waiting 9 days for eddie to get back to me but still nothing. I can get the Goode blue fin from Goode as the are only 45 minutes away from me. I think I will go that route. It was nice jesture from Radar to bad the didnt follow through. Must be busy??? Thanks for the advice.
  11. My dad told me stupid hurts, but to this day I still try to prove him wrong!
  12. "I think on some level there is an unwritten code that spouses have to say that". Ya to get what they want, like money not the other thing.
  13. I dont know any of you guys but it sounds like it would be fun just to be there. I dont drink anymore so if you need a DD ? (designated driver)
  14. Cant wait to see whats coming for next year with all the talk about the 55.
  15. Will was so excited about the paddle he wet his pants
  16. Radar is awesome. Thanks guys
  17. Bent my fin on my radar senate any suggestions for a new one. Mostly free skiing senate 69" at 32 to 34 mph 22 to 28 off. Thanks
  18. Good words of wisdom from above ^^^^ Makes sense to me.
  19. I am 5' 10" and about 195 lbs and I went with the Radar senate, Freaking Love it. I really love it at 22 off and 32-34 mph. More than that I get beyond my abilities right now.
  20. I picked up the fin tool from BOS and its a great tool DFT
  21. "If you're "all over the place" on your ski (as I often am) there may be no amount of tuning advice that can do much good. That said,if you can get your hands on a copy of Schnitz's original tuning list - which at my lake is actually referred to out loud as "The Bible" - you will have the very best guideline I've seen in 20+ years of ski tinkering." Since my water skiing exp is limited let me draw from my vast knowledge of snow skiing as I have been doing it for 40 + years now and racing in my younger years. I can pretty much take any ski in half way descent condition and tune it to work for me but I can a take a good ski set up to rip for me. I can put a someone of less experience on that same ski and they hate it. As TW stated above all the tunning in the world will not compensate for bad form. That is why I am at factory numbers on my senate and working on my turns right now. I want to have the best equipment I can use right now but I think continually tweaking my boot and fin position to get the ski over my body position is a bad idea right now. My 2 cents That being sad where can I get a copy of the Schnitzer's org tunning guide. :)
  22. Kind of like Utah weather.
