Wow, lots of great pointers here. I was just thinking about making the change to 36 mph this morning and I found this thread.  A couple things that stand out to me are what BMiller said above about maintaining my cut behind the boat. This was something I was struggling with earlier this year. Now I am focusing on pulling the strongest from boat spray to boat spray. Also, my gates are a work in progress every day. It is so hard to reproduce my pullout so they are the same every time. Luckily I have some great skiers at my lake that are helping me with little things every day. ÂÂ
