People that didn’t attend regional meetings will complain about rule changes they never heard of or voted for.

 

The driving at Nationals will suck or be just fine, depending on how you place. Ditto the new Nautique and the new Masterline rope.

 

All new fin ideas will be considered hokey unless you are on one.

 

The Ableson kid that’s like six or something will podium at Nationals in Open Men Tricks.

 

There will be a controversy in at least one Big Dawg.

 

The Queen’s Cup will be fantastic. Again.

 

A European male will run 41 for the first time, in Europe, and everyone on the “other forum” will question it.

 

Jamie Calhoun will get to three at 41.

Adam Pickos will run 12,000

Florida will win team skiing.....again

Alabama will win their first national title in waterskiing

Weighing in at 153 Freddy Krueger will have the best year in his career

Siemers will ski for team usa at worlds, but who will he knock off the team?

Regina will win another overall gold at Worlds and retire from 3 event skiing

Horton will trick at Nationals b/c he can now do O's, BB's, 5B,5F,7B,7F in the same run

@Jody_Seal good ?, I'll find out, IWWF actually passed the rule and they tend to make rules on calender years so I do believe IWWF will be allowing this now, I don't think the AWSA rules proposal had any stipluations of this beginning after nationals since it has no effect on division, ages, rankings qualification etc, so I'm pretty sure if this passes its a go now.

@Horton: In the way back, ?early 1970s?, Wayne Grimditch was apparently working on a 2-ski Wake 720FF. Where he would wrap the rope around himself twice. Don't know if he ever tried it in a tournament. Now, according to the Rules, that kind of wrap is a no-no.

1) Ball of Spray will suffer a hostile takeover in 2019. It will be particularly stinging for @Horton when he finds out that Buford Danger is behind the coup

 

2) A material mathematical breakthrough cracking the code of waterskiing will be found by @Than_Bogan , but nobody will understand it.

 

3) Despite the breakthrough, @eleeski will argue argue about it with @Than_Bogan

 

4) A short concise coaching video will be published by @Horton. 7 Ballers will swoon over it. @adamhcaldwell will clarify and correct it in no less than eight paragraphs. @Bruce_Butterfield will tell Horton that he's wrong in a highly technical post. @MS will tell Horton he is wrong in a highly non-technical post. @jayski will say it's all about fin set-up.

 

5) There will at least 7 threads in 2019 discussing @twhisper technique. They will all generally conclude that he is great but "you" can't ski like that.

 

6) 16 Ballers will set PBs on the new Dinali

 

7) Those same Ballers will immediately demo several other new skis

 

8) The Wingnut becomes the go to wrist slap on Ball of Spray

 

9) Distance from Center will be accurately measured

 

10) Chris Parrish will compete again, generating even more "stand tall" posts

 

Bonus:@Horton will run 39.....and we will never hear the end of it, then @Dirt will steal that ski. -)

@Jordan Appreciate making your list (twice!), but I strongly suggest taking the other side of that bet. It's possible to get a little better at slalom from understanding physics and math and figuring out to apply it. But there are no breakthroughs on the horizon. :(
