@JJR I've never seen fogmans but from what I've heard, the Stelaths are higher up the leg than fogmans and have a more solid bottom

I've been using the Stealths since I recieved my 2013 prophecy (as soon as it was released). They are an excellent binding from my point of view. They are the only hardshell I've used so I don't have much to compare to. They are extremely comfortable and provide great support. I've had a few hard falls in which I would normally expect to be hurt in, although they relaeased perfectly and I didn't have any dramas. The only bad thing I can pick on them is that they are a bit of a pain to get on, although with some practice, they arent too bad.

GPS steering? I know it wouldn't be cheap but for the really big events it could eliminate driver error and a lot of arguments. Tractors can be accurate within 2 cm so I dont see why boats cant be.

@Brady thanks for your kind offer, if only i didn't live in Australia or at least didn't have University to keep me here. Oh well, I guess the fun will start when I'm out in the real world earning some money!

I just completely lost this one

@Phil2360 thats a pretty bloody good design you've got there, thanks heaps for that! I think once it warms up a bit i might have to venture down to you and have a session, then I might be able to get a first hand look at it.
-
@Phil2360 mine is push to accelerate so it'd be great to see what you've done! Is it very difficult to keep the throttle steady enough to keep PP engaged?
-
@Intheday how do you think you will go about it?
-
@MISkier the boat doesn't have PP and already has a foot throttle. By how that sounds it seems as though my best bet would be to install a hand throttle or just a new boat altogether.
-
@GregHind it is a Raider Sports with a 350 vortec engine. I'm not sure if that'd mean anything to you, its an entry level ski boat made in Australia
-
Hey just wondering if it is at all possible to rig perfect pass up with a foot throttle or is that a no goer?
-
awesome video!
-
@ShaneH So essentially, the best strategy would be to work my way up to a shorter line at a slower speed, and then increase the speed? (my current pb is 5@22 off 34mph)
-
@AB sorry if this sounds like a supid question as I'm only just getting into slalom but why is it that you never run 15 off?
-
I've had one for a few months now with the stealths, can't find any majour faults. Compared to my mate's 2012, it feels a lot more stable in the turns, not sure how much the v's help cross course speed though. Too bad it's just about winter and I won't be back on the water until spring :(

I think you may aswell get the new bindings aswell as the new ski. I just bought a connelly prophecy with double stealths (coming off an F1X with RTP) and was skiing better than with my old ski after just 4 or 5 sets. Just my opintion BTW

I don't like the chances of the gate buoys being able to stay in the same spot after the boat has gone through
-
@TylerR misspelled my misspelling
-
Damn, didnt even realise haha

I finally got the chance to get out and give my Stealths a go. From my first experience (keep in mind i've never used double boots before) they are a bit of a pain to get into (having to be on the duck board) and when they released I had to take the bindings off, put them back on the ski and then put it all on again. Although, they are really comfortable once on and after a bit of getting used to them, I can see they have a lot of potential to improve my skiing. They released very easily when I had a decent stack. So as far as I can see, they are worth every penny. Saves spending $$$ at the hospital and missing out on time on the water.
