Ya if you are using a 404 release, it is NOT compatible with the new white cuff. It will deffinately feel like it's harder to snap a 404 release over the 500 heel, since it is higher.
Broke my 9900 and sent it in to get it fixed. It came back pretty much brand new. I sent it in without the fin block and they sent it back with a fin block w/ fin and wing.
Honestly don't understand the tape concept at all... It is *preventing* the ski from flexing upward, even it the block is flexing due to the tape between ski and block, the ski I think is unchanged. I could be wrong.
@brody I'm sorry that I can't comment on the radar but I do know I came from a 9900 goode. Which was the model ski goode made while the a2 was in production and I can say that there was a VAST difference in performance
I think this is true with ANY modern ski. And that any one you go with will probably be an amazing ski coming off of a 3-4 year old ski
i started skiing the course last year and I have never had any professional instruction or guidance of any kind and i would love to give it a shot. also i am 17 years old.
i only get to ski 2 times a week, so all the help and guidance i can get would be awesome. for a suggestion to @mapple maybe for days that people cant ski you supply them with a good dry land work out. i would love that!

As stated, the a-3 is a solid ski. It's so fast cross course and it turns on a rail. I've found that a level head and shoulders into the turn is key for this skis success. I've also found that a quicker edge change (not necessarily earlier) will alow it to drive itself into the turn
Did anyone see who I think was Daniel Odvarko do that SWEET six ball?
Visual size this:
As his ski is going around six I notice something funny...
Left hand high in the air with handle in hand
Right hand (inside) handle-less! Dragging through the water.
This was @-35 I think. Crazy.
@eleeski although your word on tricking is the best there is on BOS I really do want to have the toe strap, I have always skied on a toe plate with my slalom and the stance on the trick ski with the angled back foot is so foreign to me (at this point) that I really do need something mildly holding my foot in place.
My main goal was to see if the masterline toe plate would fit because I could get one for much much cheaper.
The reflex toe plate for their trick ski is over a hundred dollars. I was wondering if any other toe plate (masterline, d3) would fit the reflex. Any opportunity I get to save a little money.. I jump on it.
Thanks!
@OTF could you explain the need for a washer on the opposite side of the attachment? I'm trying to visualize any extra hardware other than where the thing is. Thanks!
I was on their website looking at stuff to fulfill my addiction... And I ran across what looks like a silvretta 500 release but is actually labeled as a "reflex 750 waterski" release. Wonder if there is a difference? Anyone heard anything on it?
Even if it was unlawful to trick without a vest or ski without an observer, who is out there on your private property to enforce this under law. Honestly... Do what you want on your property
@horton on my offside I tend to just be a sack of failure unless I focus on keeping my upper body "silent" I call this countering because if I didn't I would end up with my shoulders and hips facing the boat. If I can counter my hips heading to my offside I can continue moving outbound effectively like my onside.
