Does anyone remember, or hopefully have access to, the write-up someone made (I think it was a T-shirt for a while) that was all of the thoughts that go through our heads during a slalom pass? It was like fin adjustments, tacos for dinner, Corona sounds good, oh shit that's 5 ball, etc. Any help appreciated. It was a classic.

If none of those get it out completely, carburetor cleaner will. Just be careful.

Not measurable yet still in a solid state... Soon though.

These actually work well for waterskis and they don't drip on each other. The ski hangs tip down and the fin block acts as a stop on the rubber coated fork. I'll be hanging my ski tomorrow if anyone wants a pic.

I ran sort of a rough opening pass last year at Regionals. Greg Badal was the driver, he idled up to me and said "What the f___ was that?"
-
@Drago Actually yes Carter has skied way more in Alaska than elsewhere. Just started at ASU and won the frigid Regionals! Thanks @eleeski .

2019 SN, just put 20% ballast in the port side, does not seem to affect the wake and rides flat.
-
My understanding is that the 2 versions enter the course at slightly different speeds, regardless of + setting. So if you ski tournaments, your timing would be off. Bad info?

My son has a fairly recent Quantum 42" for sale. Would take $150. 907-350-5574

5 skiers from Alaska competed in the 2018 Western Regionals. Combined we took home 7 medals; 8 if you count my 4th place out of 5 skiers in Men 4 trick... Great job Alaskans: Carter Eaton Boys 3, Gage Jarvis Men 1, Bob McVitty Men 7 and Amy Scharpf Women 3!

I will be in Dallas watching my son play in the U16 National Hockey Tournament. Wondering if I should bring my ski? Anyone have a hook up? I live and ski in Alaska, and have a place in Arizona at San Tan for a return favor some day. Be happy to pay the going rate for skiing.
I'm a level 8 skier M4 and a driver. Any help appreciated.

Been having good luck with a poly glove liner ($3 at a safety type store). They dry quickly, last a long time and protect very well.

O'neill is coming out with a full neoprene drysuit in 3mm that you might like. I sent my hybrid suit back to them this fall and was told that suit is discontinued, replaced by the full neoprene. We shall see.

Nautique 200 with some sets behind a 196 mixed in. All ZO.

@OB1 Did you just cut down your R-style rear? Also, did you put a shim under the rear to match height of the front? I'm on Reflex and R-style, contemplating the change... Looks safer.

I'm looking for a couple of the blocks that are riveted to the rear of Reflex boots. If you have any old boots laying around that have this I am willing to pay. Thanks in advance.

Go with the ZO boat you will never look back.
-
Anyone using this setup? My son wants to try and make this work as the Reflex shells don't fit him well, loves the PS but tired of tape.
Since I will be paying and supervising thought I'd try and not "reinvent the wheel". There is a picture of this on the web (link below), not sure where it came from. Help?

Earlier this season I tried several different settings, same day, same conditions, same rope length (-28). Interesting; I normally ski B1, told driver go to A1. During the pass I thought "Oh ya, I can tell it's coming on a bit later, feels good, maybe I'll change to A and it will make me more patient". Got to the end of the lake and driver (my smart-ass kid) told me "that was C1"... Hmmm. Then I skied a bunch more passes with random settings, and tried to guess what they were after the pass. I never got it right. Just sayin'.
Maybe more noticeable with less rope? Heading to AZ this weekend will try some different settings at -35 and report back.

Thanks @lpskier Will post pics if we decide to build one...

Looking for some plans to build a jump ramp. Help?

@eleeski with the scores that made podium for Tricks, I'm going to have to get back in! Might have to come see you or drag you to AZ; better yet AK, for some coaching. Smart and Doane I'm coming after you. Ha. I think I hit 1,000 in college 25 years ago.
Funny stuff from way back...
