03 Grand Cherokee. The Radar sticker makes it turn better.

Duct tape

@LeonL never thought of doing that

Anyone know if you can buy one of those little guide posts for keeping the boat lined up in the course like what come (or came) on the Carbon Pros? I thought about making one but I don't want it to look sloppy. I'd like to put one on to make it easier for my wife to keep the boat straight.

If I remember correctly, they aren't too bad to get off with a little goo gone

Yes, just the sticky mounts but I've had issues with the camera coming right out of the clip when on the front of my ski. Clip stays on the ski well but camera comes out of clip so make sure you tie it off the your binding or you can buy adhesive things to tie off to. You also need to make sure that that actual mount that the camera is attached to is good and tight cause I've had issues coming through the wake and having it go from pointing up at me to pointing down at my toes...and I'm not into that kind of thing...

I'm assuming this same method can be applied to other manufacturers who are using intuition liners? Also, can they be re-molded?

For sale: 2014 Radar Profile left front boot, size 10. Bought brand new late last season and probably only has about 20 sets on it. Still in mint condition. Looking to get 100 CAD. We can discuss shipping costs.

@LeonL ok, maybe 2 passes. I got lucky today and got 4 passes between my two rounds

And THAT is why I try to buy Radar when at all possible!

@two2one that's why I like the adjustable. I crank it pretty tight and then leave my front)(Radar Profile) semi loose on top and snug on bottom. No problem ejecting when needed.

I think my thoughts are similar to @ski6jones. I think if you were to look at both sides of the argument you'd find, AS A RULE (I emphasize this because I know it will not be inclusive and people will disagree), the people most adamant about the tournament scene are those who either live on or near the water with a driver available multiple times a week. If they go to a tournament and miss a day of skiing it's no big deal cause Monday evening they know they'll be right back at it. Those more in favour of no tournaments would be ones like me who honestly don't know when they'll get their next set. Hopefully it will be this week but maybe not till next so if I have a free day, why spend the time and money on the possibility of only getting a pass or two. For example, I skied today with a local skier/coach and got to my personal best (albeit a "practice score"). To be honest, I'd rather spend tomorrow trying to solidify and improve upon my pb but instead I'm going to ski in the only tournament within 4 hours of home where I may only ski 1 pass and be done, maybe not to ski again till next weekend. I think those in the first category consider every day skiing to be "practice" whereas the second category would simply call it skiing Having said all of this I am really looking forward to the tournament because, like many have said, there are a ton of good skiers and even better people who will be there and I enjoy catching up with them. I feel like it makes me a better skier to be able to ski in different atmospheres and under pressure. There's also a different level of accomplishment that I feel when I hit a pb in a tournament and opposed to "practice". Just my thoughts. I know I'm not really committing to one side or the other, just trying to offer more insight on why there seems to be such a difference in opinions! Either way, as long as you're skiing the way you'd like to and are giving back to the sport whenever you can by helping those new to the sport and introducing people to it, we're going to collectively grow the sport. It takes all kinds.

I use the HO adjustable rtp. I really like it. I don't know how many times I've crashed and still can't believe both feet stay in! Mind you I have had a few complete dismounts thrown in there...

Any chance you still have this kicking around?

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone trying to get rid of a 2014-15 lithium vapor, 66"

Sites like SIA are great but with the Canadian dollar in the tank (even with the slight recent rebound) it makes it hard to look for quality used gear that won't break the bank. I just thought I'd put this here for any other Canadians looking to buy or sell anything and would prefer to not have to deal with import charges, international shipping and the exchange rate!

As with any issue with perfect pass, call them directly. They are awesome to deal with! I'm sure they'll be able to give you some things to try.

First sentence, second paragraph... You're brave...

Well I guess I'll keep skiing in my 4.5 feet!

Soft mucky bottom. Holy crap, 18"?!

I wouldn't say I have lucky shorts but I certainly know that the wrong pair can make you look like an idiot when you drink half the lake before you get up cause they've ballooned out and are dragging like a water bomber!

I did a search and didn't see much of the sort come up but I apologize if there's already a thread on this but we just put a new course in on a river system that is affected by roughly 18" of tide. At low tide a couple of my turn buoys can get as low as 4.5 feet. Just wondering what people consider too shallow? I know some man made lakes are pretty close to this depth but what are people's thoughts on the matter? Also, how would a ski react differently in shallow water as opposed to deep water? The depth here can go from 4.5 feet at 2 ball to >8 feet at 3 ball.

@Zman that's what we do. We're on a fresh water lake in Canada. We did this with our old mainline that was quite seedy and it worked well until we pulled a little too hard when adjusting the next year. New mainline purchased through ez slalom and we fully intend on just sinking it again. If memory serves, we didn't even bother with a marker buoy, just put the start point in a GPS.

So that's my problem! My rope is too short!

We use 5 cinder blocks tied together. We're in about 8 feet of water and leave the anchors there with a buoy on the line when we take the course out. Some winters we just sink the course.
