  1. @adamhcaldwell 95kg 185cm, 68inch A3. no idea on the flex #'s
  2. my wife drives and we can not get her out of the drivers seat, fantastic!
  3. fine on macbook, no login possible on iPad - enter username / password click sign in = nothing - I only use safari.
  4. @rockdog thats great news, thankfully I can walk to my ski shop - not bad for a small town of about 500 people. Just dropped the A3 off this morning and was offered a loaner ski, while I wait for a replacement - reinforces to me why I have to continue to support my local Ski shop. I also live in the Far North of Australia so any form of after sales service from a particular Ski brand is a big plus for me, and will drive my future purchases when buying equipment for my growing ski family.
  5. @savaiusini‌ I appreciate your offer of assistance, and taking the time to reply.
  6. thanks guys, the subsequent fall was a non event. It was a first for me thats for sure, very glad it did not occur on a wake crossing. My local ski shop is great so it shouldn't be a problem. For a learner skier it has been fantastic, have just started running 32off passes on the A3. I will go drop it off today and see what the outcome is. @ToddL‌ thanks @horton thank you for your kind offer - I will do.
  7. A very sad day for me this afternoon, rounding ball 6 my A3 failed with an audible crack. Only had the A3 for 4 months, hopefully I can get another from HO Australia. Back to the ski shop tomorrow morning, bugger!
  8. archive here nautique.com/webcast/
  9. I use metal shelving racks with foam on the shelf arms.
  10. My BlackTec shorty got a rip in the inseam of the shorts on my first set in the suit. When I added up the cost of wetsuit repair glue vs postage I sent mine back to Camaro Austria for repair and It came back 2 weeks latter with the rip sections removed / repaired with a new patch plus re-stitched hems on the legs.
  11. or a youtube / vimeo link for any of the rounds / finals
  12. Does anyone know if there is going to be archives of the webcast? like the Pro AM had.
  13. I have been tracking usage in our 04 SN196 with the 5.7 330hp. Consistently returns 17.0 - 17.7 L/phr, we normally run at 2500rpm (or trick/ wakeskate) for a 2mile transit to and from the course from the boat ramp and then sets of 6 passes at 55k or 49k with motor idling between passes. When our course was pulled last December we started barefooting again and returned a lower rate of consumption at 16.2L per hour at 40mph+. My method of estimating consumption was to fill the tank run and refill at bowser compared against the hourmeter.
  14. @Horton‌ still waiting to hear the real story, ran aground 30ft from the tip of a peninsular. Possibly a distracted driver or night into terrain.
  15. The barefooters on our lake found this this morning.
  16. @ozski As a skier of very limited ability, any perceived difference in wakes between brands is purely psychological for myself. I have no problem changing between the 200, TXi, SN196. My 10yr old son loves the TXi wakes compared to our 196 and the 200 if that means anything to you.
  17. If you get the opportunity ski a Townsville comp, nothing but big shiny Txi's. https://facebook.com/TownsvilleWaterSkiClub
  18. I prefer feet off and mph. Commenced tournaments this year, we had to conform and change over to metric.
  19. I had a problem with my blacktec 1mm Long sleeve shorty, during a deep start it developed a small tear on the inseam. I sent it back to Austria and It was repaired and Fedex'ed back to me in Australia. Very impressed with that level of support from Camaro.
  20. I highly recommend buying new bunks from your timber yard, and carpeting them at home with stainless staples. Leave the bottom of your bunks bare, so they can dry after use. You may need some spare coach bolts to match what are already in your bunks, buy them before you start. I just took two clamps and a drill to do mine and it was a 45min job. I moored the 196 on a brick with a buoy.
  21. @tfriess I found my 2004 SN196 poverty pack edition with EX330, and stargazer in Ski it again for the upper limit of your budget. I purchased during your winter this year and shipped it all the way the Australia. Unfortunately the ZO upgrade for my 2004 its $4500USD just for parts.
