one of our drop zones is pretty shallow. I've developed a habit of checking my fin for mud between passes. I never thought about checking under the binding.

price seems fair to me; for 10k firm I would think it would be gone in a week
-
Thanks for the review @OldGuysRule - my parents spend the winter on Sanibel so this is a possibility for me. How's the wind protection there?

seems a little too good to be true

I went to a 2014 graphite vapor this year at -15 32-33mph and -22 30mph. I found it to be far more forgiving than either the 2010 (non-carbon) senate or the (non-carbon) Vice that I had been on previously. I didn't have a single hard fall this year on it and I skied a lot this year. Part of it is that I'm getting better but also I think the newer shapes (or at least the Vapor) are becoming more forgiving. -
Hold an event at the horse track. Would I be banned for life if I bet on skiing?

Took a final rip for the season in Indiana too. Pulled the course, changed the oil, drained the block. It felt odd to be sweating while draining the block- usually I'm freezing my butt off while performing the task!

Focus on makeable passes or hardest pass?

Volume vs intensity http://www.ballofspray.com/forum#/discussion/10830/intensity-vs-volume -
hand mine shrink wrapped before transport from California to Indiana and it was money well spent. The dealer put some padding under the wrap along the windshield and along the bow. It made it through an ice storm in south dakota- the wrapping was covered in crap but boat was perfectly clean.

I think getting on that thing and closing your eyes to imagine a nice summer set would be a good way to combat winter depression
-
Screen name makes more sense now that I know his real name. This whole time I thought he was a guy who really likes disney land.

good idea to verify the tow vehicle and insurance status of the driver. We had a college kid with a jeep wrangler bid on ours. If you have any RV factories in your area you can figure out who they use and see if you can have a driver bring the boat to you on a back haul after making a factory delivery.

I was hoping you had an Indy event! I bet there would be a great home town crowd for Nate if they brought it back to that location.

awesome spray!

You've only been skiing for 2 months? Awesome job!
-
My understanding is that the Berne lake was built/owned by the owner of the local gravel pit biz that mined the lake adjacent to it
-
That looks great. I'm camping at ouabache state park tonight- I should have brought my ski.
-
There's also this one near Berne I just recently noticed. Guess it's good to have so many ski lakes.
-
That's a lot of ski lakes for Indiana. Anything ever sell on Kodiak or Wisdom?
-
Hmm... Haven't heard about it. @PurdueSkier ? Cacman where do you ski? Our buoys are still in and I need cold water skiers.
-
I had a buddy who had this happen to his 2008 LXI. The dealer "fixed it" but it spontaneously fell off again 3 or 4 years later.

http://forum.ballofspray.com/discussion/6422/sound-advice-or-crazy-talk#latest For me looking at the opposite shore causes me to drop my shoulder too much. Looking down the course keeps my head and shoulders more level. I think the answer to this question depends on what you are attempting to accomplish with respect to body position.

Awesome in Indiana too. I've lost count but I think I've skied 10 sets in the last week. September is my favorite month to ski.

I'm only one ankle injury away from being a surfer and have discovered the love of volume sets. It probably keeps me from progressing as quickly as I could but last week I made 28 passes without a miss. I hate otf but I love #6.
