Baller Keith_Menard Posted April 24, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 24, 2018 Love the idea of the stuff that has been tried, every time I look at skis and snowboard I wonder...huh, I wonder when water skiing will try that? The one I am surprised hasn't made it over yet is the Burton Channel. Theoretically infinitely adjustable (kind of like the sequence plate) and pulls from deeper in the board.

Baller thager Posted April 25, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 25, 2018 Cool, but not exactly what I was thinking. No fin involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudgyskier Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 There is a patent on magnetic snow ski bindings........ releasable any direction, adjust by strength of magnets, no need for a ski rack, unless you drive a corvette or something made out of aluminum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dchristman Posted April 25, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 25, 2018 @pudgyskier I (unsuccessfully) tried that myself with some neodymium magnets. Sounds cool, but I've given up on that dream. It really hurts when you pinch your fingers between those things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller UWSkier Posted April 25, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 25, 2018 Slalom track. Ski lake without a boat. Just an underwater track with a pylon sticking up out of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Keith_Menard Posted April 26, 2018 Author Baller Share Posted April 26, 2018 @UWSkier That existed...Malibu invented it, but then had all the evidence destroyed...just like GM did to the electric car....Malibu uses GM engines...a coincidence? I. Think. Not. #fakeconspiracytheories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller S1Pitts Posted April 26, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 26, 2018 I once saw an article in a science mag about an engineer/waterskier who lived in Switzerland? Designed an under water tow machine electric powered on tracks to travel up and down the course with just a pylon extending. Seem to recall the driving force was no boats were allowed on that particular lake and it was difficult to get permits for those that did. Looked very impressive for the time which I think was the eighties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
