@6balls and I thought our Alberta "lake" was dirty. Love it!!
-
@RazorRoss3 I feel your pain. I am 1 of 3 guys in all of Alberta who ski tournaments in Mens 1/2. I love the tourney pressure. And that drives me to lay it all on the line and some days I'm extatic about my score. And some days I am extremely sad/disappointed/frustrated. But regardless all those emotions bring me back for more. Just wish I had more guys to ski 36 against. And a close second is all the wonderful people in this sport that I get to hang out with on the dock/shore and cheer everyone else on. No matter what division they are in.

The prophecy is a good ski. But that graphite senate will take you a long ways into the course in my opinion. Senate will be more forgiving while not holding you back.

Thanks @RazorRoss3 for the tips. I skied last week with zero off and felt like I was gonna run it easy til I freaked out at 4 cause I was so early. I seldom get to ski zero off. And I feel like my stargazer I don't get that quick zip off the buoy like I do with zero off. Do you ever ski perfect pass anymore?
-
i second all of these questions
-
Wileys maybe a little too soft hey @DmaxJC_ski ?
-
Great skiing @RazorRoss3 I've done it once. Now just gotta find a way to repeat it. Tell me all your secrets
-
Haha. I love all the awesome responses. It's between 3ft and 7 ft deep. I've been told they stocked it with fish 15 years ago and they didn't survive. I'm gonna try some copper sulphate around the dock area and see if I notice any change. (The price is right as I know some farmers)
-
@DmaxJC_ski pictures are correct. I'd wager they Are not making my water clean by any stretch. And I'm sure they taste awful. @skiep I'd need a lot wouldn't I? It's a natural body of water. Probably 30 acres. @Booze that would work. But I don't think the bass could make it through the winter.
-
It was suggested I try bluestone in the water. Told it would remove all the oxygen? That might be a bad thing though.

I love my camaro blacktec(s) I like the one that had green on the inside better than last years.
-
Had just a few last year. This year they are everywhere already. And getting as big as an inch long. Anybody have experience with this? How do I get rid of them? Seem to be worst around the shallow areas. I think the scientific name for them is "hyalella azteca"
Thanks in advance

Echo what @gregy said. Vapor is so easy and great to ski on.
-
awful news. Speedy recovery Jaret

@lcarnes @LeonL I've lost about a dozen buoys to muskrats in the past 6 weeks. They were all polyform and they would mostly just chew the loop and then they would take on water and sink. I'm now trying some overtons which have a much tougher loop on the bottom hoping that might work better. What have you found best to combat the muskrats?
-
@Fam-man good to see more central Alberta Ballers. Where do you normally ski? A new ski will turn easier, faster and feel more stable just to name a few things.
-
My guess is the senate fin will be just as good(maybe better since its new) in quality as your old fin. And you know it fits properly
-
So I think I've had my new Vapor for 3 weeks now. Between blowing a transmission and now being on holidays in Spain I think I had 10 sets on it before I skied a tournament at Seseña yesterday. I'm starting to feel really confident on it. With very little work it's cross course so quickly. I love it. To top it off first round tied my PB and last round set a new PB. Sky is the limit for this ski. The warm water doesn't hurt either. I'm scared to go home to cold Alberta water.
-
He looks great for 115.
-
Oh PS. @JAS is very innovative. This is how he prepared the transmission to be taken on the plane with my buddy. It worked perfectly.
-
Been extremely busy. But I had a friend in Portland the week after my transmission blew. And @JAS had a rebuilt pcm transmission for sale. He went out of his way to get my friend the transmission so that he could bring it home for me. I popped it in on a Sunday morning in only a few hours learning as I went. And it's been running perfect for 10 days now. So thanks so much Jay. Ballers are awesome.
-
@rawly I couldn't agree more with the 3 lakes 1 driver 1 coach. @brooks is a great guy
-
spoken like a good albertan @jayski I agree that you have to have 2 of everything so that you have dry stuff to start each set with
-
@JAS i only had 3 sets on in before the Transmission went on my boat. But its very fast and easy cross course, especially off the second wake i find im so wide and early, as i get some more time on it Ill let you know more of what i think
If you have a USAWS Rankings list score into 35off or greater what kind of boat do you use?
