Ski? Bindings? Fin settings? Or just pure ability?

The first entry for each skier in the H2H column is the same, so a tie: 3.5/58/10.25. Then the tie break scores below that in brackets - FW 3.5/58/10.25 and CB 3.00/58/10.25.

First two rounds to reduce the field to 8. Thereafter H2H. Rounds 3 and 4 were H2H pairings (ie quarter-final, semi-final), leaving the final as a H2H as described.

My wife and I have just returned from our second visit to the Boarding School. We are both somewhat older than you. One of us runs the course, one not quite. We both managed 3 sets a day for 5 days. Travis and Freddie could not have been better. Freddie gets genuinely excited about a skier's progress at any level and both his and Travis' input is fantastic. I am sure you could make some major improvements if you spent some time at the Boarding School.

I was in touch with Mike Mapple from the UK about a second pair of Ryan Dodd Stealth Gloves, so that I could collect them when I was skiing at the Boarding School in Florida. Mike was in constant touch, got some in, and kept them for me. When I visited to collect them, Bill spent time chatting with us, and unsurprisingly I bought more kit. I have bought various bits of kit from Performance Ski and Surf over the years and the service has always been personal and excellent.

Straps look similar to my adapted Radar RTP after one of the loops for the Boa cable wore out.

Robin Hood Watersports. Reliable and helpful. I deal with George. They may need to order it for you. PM me re what you may need to order. I use the boot on a Radar plate with my Reflex front loop and 840 release. I had to order a Radar plate as I take a US 11 boot which does not fit the Reflex plate, although a US10 would. If using a mechanical release you must change the top bungee for a lace. Whether you use a mechanical release or fix it to a plate, it has a flat sole and sits flat on the plate and is unbelievably comfortable.

@brooks I am sure you are run off your feet, but a sizing question it you can spare a moment. Weight 76kgs, starting speed 30MPH into 34MPH. Looking for a little more stability. Should I be on a 67 or a 66? [or on a Senate?]

I thought you said there were no gators in this lake

There is no driver in the boat in the photograph. The 'driver' looks ready to go skiing.

Women's Carbon Omni or Women's Omni. If your wife is after performance, the former. Pretty sure with the wider ski she will only need the 65. Check the tables on the HO site.

As far as I recall I just used two screws with the aluminium plate top photo. I went back to look at my other photos of the one with the all black bindings [lower photo]. That photo was when I was using the carbon sequence plate, and I just extended [cut] the centre hole. I did use the aluminium plate with only two screws, albeit with a Radar screw plate [the sort of moon shaped piece that comes with the bindings]. I used an HO screw plate later on top for added security. See this photo.

Wearing a pair of nitrile gloves when putting on prevents the finger nail cuts - easily kept in the kit bag. Gripping only with the pad of the thumb and second joint of your forefinger does the same when taking off.

Sorry, both with aluminium frame NOT feather.

Lace up and Boa HRT fitted on my Omni.
