I've never tried any of their products but the commercials are convincing.

I'm not sure if Harbor Freight sales an 8" dial caliper. I've been impressed with everything I've seen from Shars, including their "cheap" caliper. They sale higher end calipers also.

Regina has more guts than any slalom skier I’ve ever watched. Started watching around 1977.

Great Webcast!

You could reverse the passenger bench seat on the 1977 Ski Nautique I bought when I first started skiing. I did it a couple of times for cruising.

@markn What foot forward are you? What size T3?

Dang! That’s not a yard sale, that’s a block sale!

1.12 diameter x 13”

In Tow ropes. Accurate, easier and foolproof to use, and less money.

@ Horton I learned to run longline 34, 36, 15 off, and 22 off a Jobe just like that one behind a 77 Ski Nautique with arguably the hardest/worst wake in inboard ski boat history. There were tons of messed up ribs and out the fronts. I just thought it was all me at the time until I skied on a 65” Connelly Team 1. Picked up a pass after a few weeks and stopped the carnage.

Dang! Wrong hand release slalom!

Perfection

@Horton What's your water temp now? Is the 93 MC ProStar you ride right now or was that a one set deal? Does the 93 have Perfect Pass?

Steve Schnitzer at one time sold a fin like Chuck Forrest used called the “Chucky”. It was more of a triangle shape with a smaller radius at the deepest point and very little “belly” in the fin. It therefore did not have as much surface area compared to the traditional shape but you were to run it deep. That blue fin you’re running looks like way too much fin. Kristi Overton rode that ski as well from what I remember. I have one of the very first ones made before EP was sold. It finally cracked between the feet after a few seasons. It was a great ski at the time.

He skied 2 meters on his head!

Very sorry for your loss John.

The rules can sometimes be very punitive to a rookie or someone that gets held up for reasons out of their control (wreck on the interstate, etc.…). A possible solution popped into my mind. Allow all scratches to ski 2 passes at the end of the round for an official score of 0. This would allow the skier to at least get to ski after putting in all the time and money to do so, prevent the skier from losing their eligibility to ski nationals, and would not be “unfair” to the other skiers in the division. This would take a minimal l amount of time. If the skier falls on pass one the boat will be back for the next skier in 1 minute. If the skier runs the first pass the boat will back to the starting dock for the next skier in about 2 minutes. PS: I still think a skier should be able to ski Nationals if they skip/miss Regionals provided they just pay the Regionals registration fee. Some just can’t take that much time off and others just can’t afford both Regionals and Nationals.
