  1. ZO for a 09 Malibu costs US$ 1,590. I do not think it is more expensive for a 10.
  2. @Ilivetoski and @MattP, you guys are too young to get old fart's jokes...
  3. Again, to have it right you need to get work out of the equation. Lottery, inheritance, big IPO, something like that...
  4. if you run THE WEBSITE, you more than do!
  5. ... and you get to censor people on top!
  6. D3 and Goode release new skis every single year. So I guess it is expected.
  7. My father was not that much into skiing. What I do not get, though, is why we need to work a lot to make the wife happy on mother's day, and we also need to work a lot to make the wife happy on father's day as well....
  8. @disland, Isaac Newton tumbled over in his grave with your definitions... Sorry, could not resist... Professional deformation...
  9. @Horton If you have the Ferrari and the Porsche, you can get the three below, no need to choose...
  10. "tearing the all the ligaments in the ankle and a bad bone bruise of the ball and socket of the ankle". That is not my usual twisted ankle...
  11. "Carbon NANOTubes (pictured to the right) are no bigger than 1 billionth of an inch and help make a lighter, stronger and faster water ski." I wonder what do they mean by stronger. Maybe smell?
  12. How old can boats be for tournaments in USA? In 2012, pre-ZO boats will be 5 year old. I guess it would be good for all older boat owners, that will be able to train behind something similar to what they will get on a tourney, but I do not foresee too many tournaments behind ZO sim...
  13. Not that you would need to get an address in Monaco for tax purposes...
  14. Hugh, I know the feeling. When I have back pain, and go and show that it hurts before my palms are touching the floor when bending to the font, doctors would say that it would be normal for me not be able to touch my knees...
  15. Looks like you went to an otrhop. surgeon and he did not help. Was it a sports-oriented one? Many times some doctors will assume that anyone over 50 that can operate the tv remote is in terrific shape...
  16. Where in the knee? Which knee, front or back? Under the patella?
  17. @Scot, I believe you are right in the USA, but not in other places. Usually, in IWSF tournaments, there is just one boat brand. Also, my understanding is that pros do not get a huge amount of money from the boat sponsors (nor from any sponsor unfortunately...) that would justify only attempting a world record behind their boat...
  18. I do not think any skier would "opt out" from a world record because of the boat, Jamie Beauchesne did not in France behind a Malibu (although it did not stand later). I am not sure if CP was behind his sponsoring boat in both the 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 @ 43 a while ago.
  19. I used to tweak my fin in different water temps, but the Z7 and Z7 ST seem to be less sensitive to it. Will tell for sure next week, after switching from a cozy 13C water in Santiago to a brisk 27C in Atlanta...
  20. IWSF specifies 30 cm +- 6cm, which is roughly a 9.5" to 14" range.
