That's an excellent upgrade...thanks. Has anyone made a "heel horseshoe," similar to what's on the new supershell, using bondo? I've heard of it being done and would love to see some pics if they're out there.
I know this topic has likely been beaten to death but everything I found was pretty old...thought there may be some new opinions now that there are many more white cuffs out there.
Turns out I partially tore the "shelf" off the back of my black shell at a tourney yesterday...hopefully that explains a little of the erratic skiing..probably wishful thinking.
Anyway, time to replace and considering trying the white...anyone else made the switch? Glad they did or wish they hadn't?
Time to trade in the Green Machine. I'm about to post this on Ski it Again but thought i'd mention it here first. Drop me a line if anyone's interested. Was thinking somewhere around $375 but I'm pretty open to discussion. Awesome ski as you all know.
Cant seem to figure out how to attach a pic, so here's the link...http://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?endless=summer&topic=Search&category=Slalom&postid=33683
Thanks!
Rossi and JB used to talk about this a lot. You work from the top of the swing to the bottom then ride the momentum to the top...much like working from buoy to centerline and riding it from centerline out to the buoy. I wish it were that easy...
Yup, use it on every buoy for the last 10+ years in 48" lengths. No tide here in VT but our Resevoir can fluctuate greatly with the rain...this year sometimes 2 to 4+ feet in a few days. We use the THB 4-100 hooks on one end and zip-tie to the buoy.
I have 3 Camaro tops and the blacktec longsleeve shorty...I agree they're awesome but is nobody else having any durability issues? My blacktec LS has about 6 sets on it and is already tearing around the logos, the shorty is a few years old but is a mess. I have 5+ year old Oneills that are in better shape. I agree the comfort is second to none but overall I'm not so sure. I think I might be going back to Oneill...
Got a text from the great JB the other day and it reminded me of one of the sickest one balls ever...to say nothing of the five turns that followed. Thought I'd post the link for anyone else feeling nostalgic.
Definitely leave the nut on...couldn't believe how the prop flew off the first time I pulled one. If the nut wasn't on it likely would have hit me in the head.
