    New CG Fin from Denali

    in Skis Fins Bindings

    Posted

    Thanks @AdamCord. Not many weeks of skiing left up here in MI, so I'm just anxious to try the fin before I have to winterize the boat! Will you be at the Big Dawg finals at Lake Jepawhit this weekend? I was planning on stopping by for a bit on Saturday to check it out...

    Mine still shows order awaiting processing, and I'm quite a bit before 284. I guess having bought a c-65 last summer at full price doesn't help...Trying to be patient and understanding, but lack of feedback after hearing they'd ship 2 weeks ago is wearing thin, TBH.

    The Connection Between Slalom Skiing, Lower Back Issues and the Opportunity to Decrease It

    in News & Other Stuff

    Great article. I have bad scoliosis, with a s curve of about 45 degrees each, after surgery at 15 and 8 fused vertabrae from T3 to T11. Slalom skiing has always been a double edged sword for me, giving my back and core in general great strength, but also exacerbating the mentioned issues. The older I get, the more lower back pain I get. I find keeping the hip flexors stretched is critical in keeping the pain in check during ski season.

    Help! Advise needed for experienced slalom skier who suddenly can't get out of the water.

    I was going to say the same thing @Chef23 said. If you're using a tournament style, non USCGA vest, switch back to a USCGA vest. Last year, after going probably close to 30 years without missing a deep water start, I missed a few over a couple week period. I had been using an Eagle, which had worked ok for most of the summer, but then I got a new ski, and the combination of the 2 gave me fits! I finally swallowed my pride (instead of water) and went back to my old vest with better flotation, and I haven't missed a start since.

    Trouble breathing after passes

    I experience that occasionally. Usually it's when my allergies are worse and my lungs feel like they are congested. Also the breathing thing during the run. Sometimes I really need to remind myself, and I work on inhale crossing wakes/preturn, exhale at end of turn. Too tight of vest, especially those Eagles!, can contribute as well. Hot muggy air seems to make things worse, too.
