  1. You look pretty solid on that pass, and crossing the wakes with good body position.  The boat just "had" you a bit early leaving the bouys which eventually caught up with you.   Start wider on that gate to get more speed/angle behind the boat.  This will give you more release from the boat as you approach the bouys, which will give you greater angle leaving the bouys, and more time for the next one.  Controlled speed is your friend.

  2. While restringing is not overly complicated, be careful turning the handle 180 degrees and restringing to use the "good rubber".  Many handles have grommets that are rounded on one end, and sharp on the other.  You can still turn the handle, but make sure you tap the grommets outward so they are rounded on both sides when they are in contact with the rope, so it doesn't cut the rope over time.

  3. @03RLXi TRY keeping your direction going out a little bit longer with the rope nice and close to body with arms straight.   You want to feel a release from the boat just a bit further wide on each side which will allow you to get that good body position without the rope pulling you back to centerline so soon.  Your position crossing the wakes is pretty good, and i think the turns will be more relaxed and smooth with better body position from a wider point. Good Luck!

  4. There are quite a few that have used that whisperfin to run very short lines....All the experimenting with different fins will also help you truly understand what small differences make...whether you stay on a whisperfin or not....

  5. Get off your wallet!  That thing's perfect, with Barefootin accesories, and all the goodies, meet in the middle.  He obviously takes care of his stuff, and stores it well.  It exactly what you look for in used boats.   In 5 years, you won't care if you paid 3k more than a bargain price.
