@Horton this whole thread made me smile. So in my mind it's a winner. @jayski beavis and butthead were the best. Maybe all us Texas and Louisiana folks make it to @hortons tourney with a stop off in vegas

what was your binding and fin settings

I can do it on my offside. My onside is a mess. It is way worst than yours. I can wait to try your new concept.

Mine seemed to crap out quickly, but maybe I just fell into a slump. there was a window where i was really skiing well on thing. I wish i had a brand new orange one to try

@jayski I'll be sitting right where I always sit. next to the corn field :smiley:

@Keith_Menard gotcha. thx

My wife has 2021 had pretty good luck with the older radar settings or 2.480, 6870. She runs 32 off

@The_MS I understand your argument. Much love to you too. I'm really not for rules for everything and everyone that's still standing. I understand why people don't want to do it and I support that for them. For me it'd not a big deal. We could drink many cold beverages and debate till the cows come home and still agree to disagree. It's doesn't make anyone a bad person for having a different opinion. It doesn't make them a "woke" person or a right or left winger or a bad parent or a great parent. In the end we all do what we can live with and hopefully have fun doing it. peace and love cs

@markn I'd be curious to know if you feel like people that don't agree with you are "woke minority" How do know your opinions in the majority. Was there a survey that I missed. If so, I apologize.

@VONMAN I guess I'm different. I don't really see the harm in SafeSport. I do agree with your statement "raise, love, teach, guide and watch over your child". But you son is nearly as old as me. He probably didn't grow up with the technology that today's child is exposed too. My 9 year old has had a school issued Ipad for 4 years. Her academy soccer team uses zoom and apps for soccer practice and updates on tournaments. So does her school. I think I do a decent job of parenting and steering, but the same technology that you and I are using didnt exist when you or your son were kids. I get it. Some people feel like they are being told what to do. It's their choice to do whatever they want to continue competitive skiing. But for me, it's worth it. I get to see a lot of people at tourneys that I enjoy shooting the sh!! with. That same choice that we currently have on wearing a mask on an airplane. I don't love that either. I've had covid and a shot. But I really don't want to drive to the east and west coast for work either. What about seatbelts, or paying your taxes, drinking or smoking. All choices right? Maybe I'm dilutional. I want the best for all skiers kids. I consider the waterski community like a family. If this helped one kid, then it's worth it for me.

93 octane

@swbca you shouldnt be sorry. I don't see what the big deal is. You just ask a question and it's seems answer came shortly thereafter. I hope you continue to post

actually I got off of it recently. I probably should have tried a 68. I'm built like a Clydesdale that's been put out to pasture. I kinda lost my way trying a bunch of different skis. I hope to get out to carolina and ski with seth before years end try a 68. for me tho, on the 67. shallow/longer worked better

I met him in 2012 at nationals. I dont know if i'd ever seen a better skier ever. I'm just sad. He always answered random ski questions I had over the years. Man what a kick to the ..... I'm so sorry Marcus for you and your family. Matt Brown was one of a kind

@BS74 I think I must have missed something or was the shark officially jumped

@jjackkrash this is where i ended up. 2.455, 6.950. .770 and 7 degrees. the deep felt way to slow for me hope that helps.

@Bruce_Butterfield i miss the 5.7. @ski6jones haha. my clydesdale type figure is good for something I guess @Horton how do you even know when a Mastercraft is close to empty. did you use a broom handle. Half the time the gas gauge doesn't work. :) gotcha on the list

I will try it in my 6.2 malibu. I'm going to "try" to keep an open mind. As I said before, this is not a drag race so I don't think it will matter much. My guess is it matters more to the super Type A personality.

@Windsurfnut I'd bet you are too far fwd with boots. Try back an 1/8"

My wife is on a 2020 radar vapor and is a 22 -35 skier. It is the same ski she used at 34

is that with or without 93 octane :)

i skied with him last week. he really helped

its really not getting wider, it's getting higher on the boat.
