@Than Bogan The Eagle shorts most likely aren't made with materials that stretch. I'll never buy a pair of board shorts that aren't made to stretch. You'll never have the water parachute again. Billabong, O'neill, Rip Curl, Rusty, Hurley make them.

Billabong Plantum X quad stretch. They're made with polyester and spandex. Most companies have similar products as well. Plan on spending $50+ a pair.

@scotchipman tweets from @WhitMcClintock @jasonmcclintock @Brian_Detrick Woman are on the water now.

@scotchipman I haven't seen a published score sheet. You can see them live via twitter or using the Ballofscores app. Check the front page for tweets from the site.

From what I gather, it's a cumulative score of the best 2 rounds out of 3. The only two skiers with a realistic chance at beating Nate are CP & T-Gas.

@MS He just said he was O.K. Later on we stepped through the crash frame by frame and the plate was intact when the ski reconnected with the water surface. It appears that the binding released when pressure from his body's momentum caused the release. I have roughly 50 sets on my powershells and they haven't released. Nor should they have for that matter. I'm pretty confident in the holding power. I posted the video mainly because I like the yard sale.

I just posted the slow motion sequence of the crash.

You forgot to mention that you're traveling the same speed as a 14 year girl.

@Ed Johnson - I've got a 63.75" NANO Mid and haven't had that happen yet. I've broken at the waist on the toe side a few times. But the ski never has blown out on me like the picture above. As far as Masters finals goes, the right foot forward skiers had trouble at the 1 and 3 ball heading the direction T-Gas fell at. Willy went down at 3 ball -39 while looking great. He had a look of disbelief in the water. Karina struggled at 3 ball as well. She was first off the dock and looked frustrated not getting further. Little did she know that every skier after her would struggle as well. The two left foot forward guys in the finals finished 1, 2. All the ladies were righties. The day before T-Gas looked great on his NANO and managed a full 3 buoys -41 in the run off.

@scoke - Tweet it up this weekend. Sounds like a great tourney. p.s. I need to know how ms is doing on the Mid.

I'll sell you an Elite for $500.

It looked like an A2 on the web-cast. Just like JT & Karina.

Late in the day it was working with no issues for me. Hopefully the bugs have been worked out this morning.

I was on an Elite last year. After 15 sets on the NANO Mid, I have no inclination to go back to O'Brien. Give the NANO Mid a shot, I'm sure you'll forget about the Quattro in a New York minute.

@MS I haven't tried the ventral. The ski is working great as is.

@MS I haven't been this excited about a ski since my Monza. It's amazing.

@Razorskier1 You looked very smooth at CC.

@Razorskier1 Were you skiing on the Razor at the Center City tournament last September?

Very cool Matt. I'm looking forward to seeing it in action this weekend.

Webcast-tv.com archives all of their broadcasts. It should be up in a few days. Tom grey does a great job making ski events available.
