Anything to do with 200k$, 7k# barges full of knuckleheads?

Nice pic @swbca!

Hard to argue with Joe Cash’s settings

Must be getting cold outside 😎

Always ran straight 30w Napa in our 92 with a 351. That what the manual recommended 

Yes Grand Sport Elite may just have a few more bells and whistles compared to the Grand Sport. Not sure if I can change the thread title from Elite to Grand Sport @Horton?

Anyone have experience with the slalom wakes?

Pretty sure that boat or one like it was used in a Water Skier mag add back in the 70’s.

Sounds like good news for PP Zbox

@Rednucleus take a look at the O’Neill Fluid Drysuit. I bought mine in ‘95 and had O’Neill retape and replace the zipper two years ago. It’s still in great shape, dry, comfortable, light and well built.

Great format, lots a good skiing and fun to watch. Thanks for putting it together!

Be careful with a blow dryer. I slightly over cooked one once and it got very stiff. Eddie Roberts suggested that I just ski the new ones into shape and he was right. After ~6 or so  sets they felt great, formed to my feet and ankles well. 

Nice chart

Funny, I thought that looked familiar. The coaches put those same boots on my EP at Jimmy Durhams Ski School in SC back in ‘89 😎

@Than_BoganMike Syderhoud too for sure.

If it’s made well and there is still a shower at Aquatic Park it should be fine. 

What wake 😀 I don’t see any.

My first ARS was a Mellos version from Richmond CA in ‘94. Been a big fan ever since. Have tried the traditional tie a couple times over the years and they always feel less stable/rolly to me.

Just ordered a new black bull. Current one is on its 4th season with ~140 sets and is still in great shape.

I got an O’Neill epic 4/3 full recently lighter and more flexible than the BLP 3/4 shorty. Real nice for 50 to 60’s water

O’Neil Epic LS Shorty. They seem to have been discontinued but mine is still in good shape after 6 seasons. Heck I still have the O’Neill BLP 3/4 shorty from 1994 and a Fluid Dry from 96 and both are in excellent condition. I sent both to O’Neill for some retaping, a couple seals, panels and a new dry zipper back in 2018. 

Great interview!

One of if not the best pro tour season ever, imo.

So good. Really lucky to have these guys sharing their knowledge.

Will there be a webcast of the Pan Am’s in NC this week?
