@ETskier Nate chose to run 41 in a tail wind last weekend. You dont think he had getting further down 43 in mind?

Yep, I was thinking Murican!

Can anyone explain why it goes 41 to 43? Doesn't make any sense to me the 2 previous shortenings are in 1.5' increments, but then it increases to 2' for the most difficult pass. Logic would dictate a 42 pass in between.

@ColeGiacopuzzi apparently @Horton would benefit from the ease of reading a digital.😉

Thanks for that blast from the past @buechsr! Harold Cole is a neighbor and friend, and makes very cool furniture and stuff from old wooden these days. My wife had make this awesome picture hanger for my Birthday a few years ago.

I'll give him tree fiddy

I loved that ski back in 1984, and would love to have one for sentimental reasons, but wow that's just delusional! 

Regina definitely gets crash of the weekend. 🤕

Wow, sounds like they've really stepped up their game since late 80s early 90s!😁

Nate doing his next level thing. That was unreal.

Correct Craft is not a public company, not that that really makes a difference. Nobody "owes" anybody a statement, including Correct Craft or Freddie Winter. It is what it is.

This thread reminds of that old REO Speedwagon song Take It on the Run.

@capobeachboy if you're on FB, you might want to post this on Vintage Water Skis group. More targeted audience there.

Between the KOD and Swiss, I didn't get as much done around the house as I should have; but wow, those were two absolutely amazing tournaments, made even better by the superb coverage by TWBC!

I really enjoyed the format of KOD, with the breaks filled by the kids and show skiers in front of a huge audience. That seems like a great formula to grow interest in skiing in general. 

Swiss was top notch as always, and the parity made for exciting viewing! 

Kudos to the organizers and TWBC for giving us fans an incredible weekend! 

So what's the story behind the 2 wraps of duct tape on Jamie's rear leg?

In fact, it just happened again. I did uncheck all earlier, and just noticed I was only following 1 topic. Looked and saw that technique and theory got checked somehow. I had not gone into that area since unchecked all, so something weird is going on.

@Horton understood, but on more than 1 occasion boxes have randomly unchecked for me. If it helps, I only view the site on my Android phone.

@Horton is there a way you can make pinned posts viewable to all, no matter what boxes are checked? I like the flexibility of not having to wade through stuff that I don't necessarily have an interest in, but it would be cool if that didn't matter with pinned posts.

@Horton that's only visible if videos, photos, and media box is checked has been checked under topics.

Looks like it's just the top skin layer so should be fine.

For those with this insurance, I'm curious if your price was reduced along with the reduction in coverage?

@jjackkrashI pull both of my feet out of mine while in the water after a set (i use both front and rear). Haven't yet had a fall that needed a release, but I'm not concerned about it since I can get my feet out of them in the water without loosening them. I do have narrow feet though.

@Hortonit's probably my very narrow feet that allow me to pull out of them. Speaking of which, do you have any recommendations to add some volume? I feel like my heel is still a bit loose even when the boa is pretty tight (forefoot seems pretty locked in, and I've heat formed the liners).

@HortonI'm confused by your comment regarding screwing the boot to the base. Aren't these boots designed for this, with release coming from the liner coming out of the shell? I would understand your concern if this were a standard hard shell, but Radar designed them to release this way?

Full disclosure, I bought a front/rear set last year, and have them mounted to baseplate/ski. Haven't had a fall yet that required release (only a handful of sets before winter), but I can pull out of them in the water after a set.
