I think he might benefit from one of the drills where you try to stay outside several of the boys on the same side it might make him stand taller and learn what moving your weight on the ski does.

I would say if you need to ask that question on here then you need a new ski. Anyway can't see anyone saying don't get a new ski

Love following project builds, boats, hot rods, motorbikes. how could this not be a good idea for someone else to complete

@oldjeep I am not sure on the white spirit I was assuming it may be a dry cleaning product. I was going to look into it seriously around September when I get some work done on me boot and observers seat

My guy recommended white spirit though I am yet to try it

Add ballast to level

Seemed like a bargain until it didn't come with a trailer

If the centre board can be got out you can buy a kit to install a centre pole. The kits bolt to the bearers you will need to cut a hole for the pole to go through the floor. The pole will often be removable

Just use a regular flotation wetsuit with a pair of shorts under it to start with.

Scam old one though

Spy is one of many Australian made boats

Some better than others

Our experience remove the front bar on the doubles leaving the skis joined at the back. Once the are comfortable remove the back connection.

 

We then used the shaped ski (part of the doubles) and long v and held them and got them to try deep water starts

 

Amazing how fast they progress under their own steam particularly if there are other children involved skiing two up is more fun. If you can ride a trick ski, doubles even a kneeboard next to them the smile on both of your faces makes it all worth while

I don't know what the rules are but if he is running the mini course (or big course) who gives a rats about what handle he is using. It is more important that he skis and has fun as he is the future of our sport. No doubt by he will be on a short v soon enough and then you can worry about tolerances

Considering how few trick ski are around it amazing how much kit there was for making them

@AdamCord any news on ski number two

BallsOfSpray awake with a small child might as well ski

Thought that was just me and the site was down for repair

HO Free Ride. My wife loves it easy to get up on, easy on the arms when up, turns nicely.

Deprecation is only half the cost the opportunity cost of $50,000 at 2%-5% adds up as well (I know it all depends on your own interest rate)

West coast February March for better weather less wind in March

Funny this whole conversation as an Australian most of our early (old) boats have marinised car motors in them. By maranised I mean exhaust and water pumps and used standard starter motors and alternators and maybe some maranised carbies but a lot of off the shelf holies. Guess it's what you are used to

Sandpaper, hand cleaner, spark plug, to add to the above

From a long way outside and with a zero knowledge and care factor. If something needs to change and the infrastructure (organisation) is in place then a well organised joining of the group will most likely get control and therefor ability to implement changes The last thing any small industry/sport needs is to fragment as then you have less influence whith sponsors participants and government/regulators

 

By all means push for change but take control or make it easy gor your alternative view to be adopted

I answered five years plus but of course if I win lotto then it game on

Mine still loves his and can now ski the full course at the slowest speed.
