I have a 65" Strada 55 that I am not using and would like to sell. It has been skied on for maybe 20 sets total. It is a great ski for someone who likes a faster ski. I went back to D3 for a deeper riding ski.

@Mattp, isn't Parrish's record 2 @ -43? So Asher tied it? Hope there was video this time.

Saw several tweets that JT, Smith and Asher all ran -41 off in the record tournament today. One tweet said said Asher got 2 @ -43. Does that tie the record? Any more known details? Great skiing!

@mac, They have been fine on size for some but too big for others. I put a 1/8" bungee cord in mine with a cord stop. It took a few minutes to thread the cord through but worked perfect after that. I am just working on getting the parts together and will send a kit to those who need them more snug.

@6balls, @Dirt, Thanks. I hope they help keep your head warm. @Ed_Johnson, I too found it warm for driving the boat.

@Horton, if staying with this system, what about giving more points per year being member? Like maybe 50 per year? Other thoughts would be points per USA Water Ski level of skier and we each put our own level in? What about points for rated judges, drivers and scores and the level of rating. Again, we put our own ratings in our profile so that you do not have to maintain. I have followed your site from the beginning but did not join until I felt compelled to post something 2.5 years ago yet a "new baller". I like to read useful information. If ballers are encouraged to frequently post for points, the information will become less useful or too many posts to read everything. Just my thoughts this afternoon when I realized I was considered new to the website. Thank you for what you do and the website you have provided for us.

Done. One of the best water ski photos I have ever seen!

@Horton, what is the time span for a "new baller" Someone who joined 2.5 years ago is "new"? If so, you should have a "really new baller" category. Just some thoughts. Change is always hard.

@Wish, no size chart. Men mostly have gone with the large. I would say most women for sure the smaller size. I can wear either one. With the large one, I can fold it up over my ears on warmer days. I cannot fold up the medium and just have to wear it over my ears. The large size does not fit my head as tight as the medium. If on the border, I would probably go with the smaller size so it is tighter. I have sold a few mediums to men who tried the large and they were too big. Hope this helps.

I just got the rest of the beanies for the year. I have about five in each color in the small/medium size and 10 grey and 10 black/blue in large/extra large left. Those who have paid me, your beanies were shipped out today.

jlittle, I got your e-mail and will have a small/medium in black/blue to send out tomorrow. I am sure I will have it but will still e-mail you when it is in my hands. Thanks

@douglaslbrady, glad you like the cap. Yes, I was able to get a few more. I took the rest that the manufacturer had which included some small/medium size along with the lg/ex. I have tried to e-mail those that I turned away. If you want one, I have mostly gray and the black/blue in the large/extra large and I have a couple in each color (black, gray and black/blue) in the small/medium size.

@tjm, I have one gray one left that I can ship out today. Send Paypal payment if you would like it. Thanks

@mac, I have saved you a gray one. Send payment via Paypal and I will ship tomorrow. Thanks

@richarddoane, @Ed Johnson, I am holding a gray one for each of you. @douglasbrady, your beanies went in the mail yesterday. They should be in your mailbox on Monday. Too late for the autograph. I am not sure what fame there is in neoprene beanies. I only started doing it because I had such a hard time finding anything that would keep my own head warm. It has become a fun project in which I have gotten to know the Ballers a little better. The beanies have gone to all parts of the country including Alaska and this week a couple will be going to Australia too.

Inventory update - I only have four gray beanies left in Large/XL. The other colors/sizes are gone. These have been more popular than expected. I am going to try to get more including some small/mediums. E-mail me if you want to get on the list but hold off sending payment until I find out what I can get. Thanks

@douglaslbrady, I just sent you an e-mail. I am sure we could work something out. I live in the Salt Lake area so you could even pick them up if you would like.

@6balls, mine has come off once in a fall. It floated until I was able to grab it. I have not actually tested them, though. They do not fit really tight but that is part of the comfort. I always got a headache when I wore my old O'Neil. The best part is they keep your head warm. I will save you a black one. Thanks

@gmut, @6balls I have a few left in each color. They are all the one size large/xl. I would say for sure the gray is the most visible. I have had several people tell me that they even wear them driving the boat to help keep their head warm.

Just an fyi, I have sold out of the small/medium size but still have plenty of the lg/xl size. Thanks

@colo_skier I have plenty of the lg/xl left in all three colors. Thanks

@jlittle Yes, PayPal above is correct. Thanks

@jlittle I have a couple of gray ones in small/medium left.

I still have a few beanies left. $25 includes shipping first class USPS or $28 for USPS priority.

Had a great time at the Sundown Tournament in Newberry Springs hosted by Rob Muhlitner and Matt Merwin. Here are a few photos.
