  8. @AB yep hope she dose not read this hay .but she is only a learner driver and done a great job yesterday and is getting her confidence up now. i am not the best skier and need all he help i can get.
  9. yep found the problem getting out nothing wrong with the ski or the skier just my driver (misses)needed to give the boat full throttle to get me out got 5 out of 6 deepwater starts in today. missed the first one and told her to hold it flat and she did this time for a change . just hope she will do it in the future.sorry to waste you blokes time
  10. thanks @bogboy thats basicaly what i have been doing to get up on it was going to get a 71 inch one but was talked out of it they reckoned it would not turn as well should have i think.@AB the bindings and fin are standard positions the tip stays just out of the water will try your method and see what happens .think this ski is going to ebay will have a go on the 67 inch bluewater ski saterday if i can get out on it the triumph is going a new ski for next season
  11. hello i have a ho triumph have been battling with deep water starts on it all season it feels like when you start it is just bending underneath me and draging in the water .i have no flex testing machine but compared it by hand to my connelly outlaw and the outlaw flexes a bit than stops the triumph bends easyer and just keeps going without stiffening up like a banana is this normal .one of my mates who is about 140 pounds tryed it and reckons it was a mission to get up on dragged heaps and he ski s on shorter carbon fiber competition slalem ski(not sure of size but heaps smaller than the triumph) i weigh about 225 pounds.so is it just me or are these ski s sposed to be easy to get out on.the problem is i love sking on this ski compared to the outlaw.sometimes i just drop a ski and find when getting out than i have to put more weight on the old drop ski (a cheap bluewater 67 inch standard width ski )than the triumph that wants to bury itself.
  12. yep i reckon come out of the boots i run wileys high rap and rtp it has its disadventages but went over the front yesterday foot came out okay did a bit of a summy landed okay only problem is the ski landed on my head .have a hard head so had a cackle lost a bit of claret and kept sking.by the sounds of it some of these modern bindings are a bit dangerous from what i have read on this site
  13. have not even seen anyone on a trick ski in person ?
  14. @AB it can be fun driving when pulling tubes you don t need much boat speed hay just technike and the kids love it great shot
  15. would love to try wake surfing reckon it would be great to do after a big day skiing.at present i just wakeboard after sking as only have a small ski boat.thanks for putting the video up
