  1. Allow 10 seconds to pass between turning the battery switch on and punching in your ignition code. Also, when you are done for the day, punch in the ignition code and then hit the stop button. Allow the computer to completely shut down (blinking blue light), then turn off the battery switch.
  2. I had the same issue. I used 3M black weatherstrip adhesive. Worked great.
  3. I’ve had 3 different sets of Vapor boots. The 1st 2 sets lasted a little over a year. The 3rd set has lasted 2+ years. The only thing I’m doing different, is I take out the liners after every set. When I put them back in, I do it by hand, not with my foot in the liner.
  4. @PSM 2016 Vapor 66" Rossi Original - 29", 2.465, 6.940, 0.733, 9 Rossi Alternate 29", 2.460, 6.960, 0.735, 9 Rossi PM'd these to me after I told him I felt like the ski was sticking at the finish of my onside turn - 29.25", 2.455, 6.975, 0.745, 9 Rini - 29.25", 2.45, 7, 0.72, 9 I'm currently running these numbers, close to @SkiJay's numbers: 29 3/8", 2.455, 6.975, 0.732, 9
  5. @cragginshred I would guess your lean is insufficient. I agree with Rini's philosophy. I started skiing in tournaments last year and an observation I made was the better skiers (38off and beyond) have significant leans at 28off. More lean will get you to the ball early, giving you more time to turn with a tight line.
  6. A friend on my lake is selling this boat. He doesn't ski, so after having it for a year he's selling it to get a wakesurf boat. He bought the boat from Drew Ross. Direct all questions to him through the link below. http://orlando.craigslist.org/boa/5292436334.html
  7. I've got a green 66" sitting in the garage. If anyone is interested, PM me.
  8. I'm fortunate enough to live in the Orlando area and have been able to ski with Matt Rini on several occasions over the past year. His style of coaching resonates with me because he is able to simplify things so well. There are many great options, I'm a fan of picking 1 coach so you get consistent feedback.

  10. Anyone have fin and wing settings they like for a 66 inch T2?
  11. I entered my first tournament this year...a 3 round turn and burn class C for $55...free beer and pizza included. There are some sites and organizers doing it differently. Also, I agree with you @LLUSA regarding private sites. Fortunately for me and others in Orlando, there are still many courses on public water. Without them, I wouldn't be a course skier.
  12. Thanks guys. @Wish explained to me the box on the torque actually adds stiffness, allowing the tip and tail can flex more. With that being the case, I would guess the sequence plate wouldn't have a negative effect. I was under the false assumption the box was where the "twisting" was occurring.
  13. Does anyone know if the Radar Sequence Plate would effectively reduce the torsional flex of a Mapple Torque?
  14. @DefectiveDave Usually the next ski model comes out at Nationals in August. If Radar makes changes to the blue vapor, you'll start seeing used blues on ski-it-again in the fall.
