Ok, I have been running my 32 off @ 34mph pass 3 out of 5 times. I have been cutting the line to 35. I am struggling with one ball. I feel like I am flying straight at the ball and end up turning at the ball and then miss the two ball. What do I need to do to progress at this line length? BTW I have been struggling at this line length for the past 3 years. I PB'd at a tournament with 4 @ 35 last summer, but that was a fluke. I average 2 @ 35 in practice. Any help would be much appreciated.

I prefer Birthday Suits. They're free and you'll never have to remember to throw them in with your gear. I'm not sure if they meet your requirement for being fashionable. Definitely entertaining, just not fashionable. Just make sure you apply extra sun screen! Oh, and watch out for fish, water fowl, or boat spray!

Caught a duck in my arms as I was pulling through the entrance gates. Amazingly enough I ran the pass and the duck survived. Same sight we had some rednecks using us as target practice with their .22 caliber rifles. Didn't "hit" a bullet but I saw them splash down in front of the boat as I was skiing. That was a very surreal experience. The police caught them but they claimed they didn't see us!

While watching ESPN I saw a commercial for a bracelet used by top athletes to help them achieve their greatest potential. While wondering if this revolutionary bracelet could take me to the next level in slalom I caught a glimpse of Chris Parish talking about using this bracelet as his 'next secret'. So I placed my order today and will be looking forward to running into 43 off! Take a look at the Irenew website, https://www.buyirenew.com/Index.dtm , there is a video that will load on the page after a minute or so. He is at the very beginning(briefly) and then he shows up about 2/3 of the way through. I'm not a 100% sure its him, but if it's not it is his identical twin.

Order orange. You can always paint the orange a nice shade of red!

Just wondering if anyone has made a jump from the RCX to the Z7ST. What differences did you notice? Is it worth the upgrade?

I need a ski recommendation. My friend is currently on a HO Phantom. He is 5' 10" and weights 190. He can run 15 off@ 28 mph and can get a couple at 30 mph. What would be a better water ski for his skill level that he would be able to get into 34 mph with?

Should be a great tournament. The lake skis great and the locals are top notch. Hope to see you all there

The 197 is a nice boat, if you like big wakes. Even if the 200 is more than a 197 you would be better off. Nicer wake(by far) and a better built boat. Oh, and you don't need to were earplugs while skiing(due to noise from the engine reving when ZO engages).

Do they make one you can pee in? So far I have been unsatisfied with the performance of a dry suit after I have peed in it.

I frequently ski behind a SN with Star Gazer(buddies boat) and ZO(my boat). My ball count doesn't change between the two. I can feel a difference but it doesn't seem to affect my skiing. I did ski behind a MC 197 in a tournament last year and it felt like I was skiing behind a freight train. It felt like it was always on me and I couldn't get free of the boat. It might have been phsycological since I could hear the boat revving every time I would load the rope. It could have also been the crappy wake. And it could have been, although doubtfull, the skier. All in all I think as long as you are good position when the boat hits you that it won't hurt your ball count. I ski B3 setting and weight 160.
