I tried imitating her this morning with the handle pushed down to my right front pocket. I got some really nice pivots for the gate without the awkwardness I usually feel on the rotation. Am going to continue experimenting with this. So far I really like it!

I agree @thager! Was working on this yesterday and had much better gates from a wider position instead of getting sucked in. 

@HortonIt was awesome to watch a live event mid-week! 

I dismissed it pretty quickly.  Is it interactive where it will open another browser tab and send you out to the results/webcast?

Yes, 2021 World Champs have also qualified.

I ruptured my eardrum skiing a couple years ago. My provider was never actually able to see the perforation, but it definitely was. When I pressurized it, it would audibly squeal. It did drain pink fluid quite a bit initially and eventually was infected, requiring antibiotic drops. Hope you can get it sorted out.

Same thing happened to me 2 seasons ago. Smacked side of head against the water and was very disoriented for a couple minutes. Couldn't tell which way was up. Ear drum was ruptured, ended up getting infected. Get checked out. Glad I did.

I'm just thankful to be able to watch the tournament, after not being able to see the LCQs!

@The_MS If you don't have the ice to keep them cold, better start drinking them! I know you don't like to waste a good IPA....

Met @bananaron this morning and picked up this Evo. He's got quite the set up on this beautiful MN lake. Thank you!

Love the shirts. @Horton, do you still do hats? My 2 are looking pretty grungy now.

@The_MS last pass on TLE2.

A couple weeks ago, he was hanging out on my dock, drinking a Kona (or 2 or 3) and he hipchecked my kid off the dock. Daycare?!?

Not a good day for the Fred's. Freddy K crashed on his first jump and was done. Climbed into the boat and walked down the dock, so it didn't look too serious.

 

Fred Winter had a pretty gnarly crash @ 39. Held onto the handle long after his ski was off.

@OTF

It's this one. Bought a GT from him last year.

So.... Crutches.... Is she skiing tomorrow? When is the cutoff for making adjustments to the fantasy draft?

Less rope more buoys

Excited to try it out in a couple months!

That was an awesome webcast. Some different camera angles made it look almost commercial and very high in quality. Most important was the great skiing. 2nd place in BOS conference made it fun too! Fantasy waterski certainly adds to the excitement.

Like @MS said, I wore my suit the last couple weeks of our season. The last time, I was in and out of the water for 30 mins or so pulling the course. Water was low 40s. Hands and feet were cold, but drysuit was warm. That day, I wore my Elite vest underneath for a bit more warmth and my core was sweaty. I love that suit. Absolutely recommended if a drysuit is what you're after.

I had this issue when I bought my Radar fixed Rtp. I was able to move the toe loop rubber back one hole on the plate. This widened it enough to get my foot in to where it is snug and secure. Hopefully you can give that a shot.

Thanks @ReggieO. We'll keep you in mind. Wife is set on matching @Mrs_MS at the dock. Anyone with a pink one?

Looking for a lightly used 2016 Radar Vapor 66". Preferably the pink women's version in nice condition. Thanks.

We are waiting...
