@Skijay I love that comment.

I am in for a $100 ticket if you go that route. Jordan

@MS regarding Monza...love is blind lol

A couple of things that might help. 1) when you are finishing the turn, ski your hip to the handle 2) when you get there, LEAN away from the boat...all the way through the wakes 3) you appear to have your arms bent when you are "pulling". You have to get your arms straight, hands down by your waist...hips forward. This allows for a lot more lean, this will make crossing the wake much easier Try to feel the movements, or body position that creates speed through the wakes. Take a look at your body position as you pull out to start your gate. You are in a much more stacked position than when you cross the wakes. When you finish the turn, you start to lean, then you give up on it and hit the wake with a flat ski. You need to increase your lean as you approach the wake. I know that it seems counter to your survival, but it is way easier and safer to cross the wake on a deep edge.

and that's why we love you man!!!! Ski slut!!!!

The reflex can be pivoted...watch the Andy Mapple video...it shows how to pivot the boot.

Seems expensive for what it is. My guess is that it causes more tip to be engaged when the ski is on edge and leaves the ski unaffected during the pulling phase. Interesting that you could tune the ski for less tip (aiding acceleration) than normal, and still have enough tip in the turn to make a tight radius. Cool

That sizing chart is not very helpful if you happen to weigh about 195 pounds

First of all that 2012 has 600 hours. That is high for a one year old boat. That is reltively high mileage for the age. It also has some interior and gel coat damage. So it is priced right for its' condition. Hardly a fire sale.

Crap--- he looked early, even with a few squirrelly finishes (of turns).

@MattP. It does. Even in Canada April is normally pretty nice. Looks like I needs me a little FLA!!!!!

Toronto--- currently snowing. ARRRRRRGGGGGGHHH!!!!!!!

I can start either way but old habits die hard I guess. I learned with dragging my back foot. In the old days I was learning behind underpowered outboards. Just made things easier.

It's always dangerous to accept something that Andy does as also being best for you. While he has always wanted his foot basically on the ski, he may have near perfect alignment that puts him in an ideal posture and alignment when he does this. That may not be the case for you.

Snowing this morning.....ugh!!!!!!

Snowing this morning.....ugh!!!!!!

Finally figured out the difference between leaning and pulling. I used to use my arms way too much, and all that would happpen is that I would pull before the ski completed the turn and would get pulled to the front and break at the waist. Once I learned to fully complete the turn and ski my hips back to the handle (instead of trying to pull the handle back to my hips) I could ski with my elbows tucked in at my sides and lean against the pull of the boat with straight arms and the handle at my waist. As a bonus, doing things correctly conserves a ton of energy.

All the Canadians will know this one...J-Craft Pro Ski 19...no wake at all.

Guys. It doesn't say that $500,000 is the total revenue either. It says that is the revenue from skiing, it also says that there is a pro-shop and ten guest units. I have no idea if the businessis profitable, but I would doubt that it is priced at three times revenue. I would also doubt if that it's a big money maker.

only gym class etc for me. Messed around with it once and a while at track practice...had the hops but not the height. Having said that I was once at a high school track meet and watched a guy who competed for Canada at the Pan-Am games while still in highschool jump 7 feet. And...he was about 5'9...that shot the hell out of my excuses.

Had a bad shoulder seperation the previous winter while snow skiing. Had reconstructive surgery in March. Waterskied carefully for the first half of summer. Then I started to feel really good and the shoulder felt strong. One day as I pulled across the wake, I heard (and felt) a huge pop. I snapped a big add titanium screw. For my troubles I was honoured with an additional surgery to remove the broken screw.

There is a lot more than just having the molds in order to decide what and how much to produce. The company has to decide the best use of its' resources. That includes labor, manufacturing space, production slots, capital. marketing, available margin versus other production choices etc There are also likely unique parts made by outside suppliers for each particular model. These would likely have minimum order requirements. A limited, dip your toe in the water approach appears reasonable enough.

Likely a bad ground.
