  1. flip it on it's back and drop the tree on it again. ...should be fine.
  2. We've all talked about how Collegiate skiing is the future , and the way to bring more skiers, and keep more skiers, skiing. This is a great idea and a way to get funds to kids all over the place. Everyone wants to help, but we haven't known how. This makes it easy! The teams will be able to fill out grant applications and get funds for all sorts of stuff/help. You can even have your company or you make specific donations for how you want to use funds...etc. Read the attached application and SPREAD THE WORD! Financial Structure – Donors may make checks payable to USA Water Ski & Wake Sports Foundation, Inc. or via PayPal with “Team Grant” in the message. Donations up to $2,500 to USA-WWF at 12961 Lerida Street, Coral Gables, FL 33156. Donations over $2,500 to USA-WWF at 6039 Cypress Gardens Blvd, #481, Winter Haven, FL 33884. Donations via PayPal to Donations@USA-WWF.org. (We encourage checks to minimize processing fees, but we would rather pay processing fees with donations via PayPal than to have no donations at all.) Vision – To create a pool of funds in which grants may be awarded to collegiate teams based on an application process. The teams will be required to articulate what they have already done to raise funds, how much they raised, how much they are requesting, specify what the funds are needed for, and how the funds will be used.

  3. To stop it from blowing out, adding a little more depth/length will help...as long as the boots are close to where they need to be. There is no "correct" . Every change you make affects something else. It's a balancing act/trade off.
  4. 55's don't have to be exact. Put a left side (you really only need the left one) 55 in using 2 slalom ropes plus a 28off section...plus 2 feet/eyeball it. As long as it's inline with the guides, you're good. Being exact doesn't matter; you will have a reference point to use each time. Getting up on the boat at the start is critical to maintaining that position in the course. ZO makes is very hard to get back up on the boat once you're in the course. The boats don't deviate enough in speed to allow you to kill a bouy/slow the boat, and get that slingshot up on the boat at the next bouy. All the slingshot now comes from your body. Being up on the boat gives your more time to finish the turn and lock in before the pull from the boat occurs. Your turns look good, and if you fix the gate area, I doubt you ever miss a 32 again. 35 just amplifies the problem. Good luck!
  5. How about the YOUNGSTER? Jaeden Eade runs 39 twice? Awesome skiiing young man....
  6. When you restring it, turn it over.
  7. Try it. It does some very cool things. I believe you can make it work on any ski. I believe it just makes it behave differently. There may be a ski that you like that's just not finishing the turn correctly. This fin may work. I think it's worth a try on almost every ski.
  8. It must not be very good. The skier in the video wasn't able to go around any bouys.
  9. Bruce must have caught me that 1 time a made a small mistake! Glad I could help him explain it ...I do have most stylish boardies though!
  10. Regina just set a new world record behind it. Enough said.
  11. 1/2 is not determined yet. If they gave him 1/2 , then he did not get back to the gates in time. So , the judges determined he did, in fact , get outside the bouy. If he did get back inside the gate, he would have gotten a full bouy.
  12. The rule says sinking the bouy. A few more frames could determine if ankles and that center part of the ski are outside the bouy to give credit.
  13. You can make a donation to help replace the adaptive ski...... It'll make ya feel good to help out. Looks like they do a lotta stuff... skipomona.com
  14. We drive with rec mode quite a bit in the spring to take the speed up a bit. We also have a short setup on one end. We don't notice any difference between rec and tournament mode. My guess is the boat just isn't to speed yet for the gate pullout. We pull the skier out of the hole from an extreme angle (at 38/39) with the boat close to shoreline to get that extra 40 feet or so, giving the boat a couple more boat lengths to reach speed.
  15. I just think it's cool that i'm so badass I vaporize water! booyah!
  16. Pressure areas are formed as the water accelerates around and moves past the prop. As the prop moves faster, it creates a lower pressure around it. As it reaches vapor pressure, the water vaporizes and forms small bubbles of gas. When the bubbles collapse, they typically cause very strong local shockwaves in the water, which may be audible and may even damage the blades. SAME AS ON PROPELLERS.....from boat forum
  17. The Patent finally ran out on the Dynafoil?
  18. In all seriousness, if you're trying to avoid the tail popping out to stay in one piece....move boots back and deeper on the fin.
  19. Tail doesn't skip out on Will, so it's not the ski.😂
  20. POWERVEST.....DON'T SKI WITHOUT IT ....TAKES ALL THE LOAD.
  21. If anyone wants to try a 66 inch in Central Florida or West Palm area, PM me. 2 of them available to try.
  22. What a blast! The night skiing was great, with a lot of people enjoying the food and beverages. It was neat to see some of the younger women giving it their all in their division for 1/2 bouys and hanging on to some hits! I know a few have probably never skied under the lights, when everything feels really "hair on fire" fast. Good showing! Rossi skied best throughout , with Darren pushing him to the end. One of my favorite moments was after Seth got knocked out , and was wanting a beer from HIS cooler....the look on his face when we told him "Oh Sorry, we're out" was priceless! ....we weren't out! haha... Thanks WPB Ski Club!
  23. I think it's a great idea, and I'm sure whoever hosts the next Nationals will have a great idea too! It's all fun! It's not random; their rules and regulations have been out since early spring. All skiers are 34 mph skiers (Men and Women). There's only so many hours in a day to pull skiers. It looks like they will have 90 pulls before they even start the head to head. That's a long day. Thanks to all the organizers, judges, and drivers that are going to make it happen!
