Hi Ballers, Father's Day is coming up and we are celebrating that with a great discount. Use the code FATHER in the checkout on our website and get $500 OFF! Happy Father's Day!

@swbca I would not use the ones with liquid on them since it might create a mess inside the markers. For quicker response to questions please contact us via info@rodicsinnovation.com

@Timr71 If you have not got ahold of anyone who can give your cousin an OffCourse™ pull yet, shoot me a PM and I'll see if I can arrange something.

Hi Ballers, This is the last weekend that the OffCourse™ will be available at the launch price of $2499. All down payments made before midnight pacific time on February 27th will reserve a unit at the launch price and we estimate to start shipping in April. If you are contemplating a purchase this year, don't miss out. https://rodicsinnovation.com/product/offcourse/ Thanks

@UWSkier The zero splash is spaced 177 feet before the first splash. So, if you were to draw a straight line from the zero splash to the first splash, that line would pass the course centerline where the gates would have been in a regular course.

@swbca Sounds good that you have an OffCourse™ coming! Regarding simulating gates with fixed buoys, it sure would save one projectile per set but it comes with other challenges. Flying down the lake at 36 mph means that if the start button is being pushed just two-tenths of a second too early or late when passing the buoy, you will end up with an off range of over 20 feet in distance between the gate and one ball in between sets. We often use a start buoy during photo shoots to have a sense of where the splash will end up in relation to the camera guy and it is nearly impossible to sync by hand. Just like @braindamage said, there is a learning curve to the zero ball, but after a few sets you will have it figured out ? I appreciate all suggestions for improvement and read everything in this thread, so keep em coming!

@Fastguy888 As for now, we don’t have a leasing option.

Hi Ballers, The Swedish winter is upon us and we are full steam ahead taking delivery of materials and assembling the next batch of OffCouse™ units right now!For those of you who are looking for in-depth testimonials from our current users, you can now check out the new section on our website with elaborate case studies.

Hi Ballers, We're wrapping up a great first season and the OffCourse™ is completely sold out. The good news is that the next batch is already in the making. Previous batches have sold out quickly. So, if you are contemplating the OffCourse™ for next season and want to make sure to get your hands on one you can make a 10% down payment on our website and we will set one unit aside for you right away. We estimate to start shipping in April 2022. Thanks

The good news is that you don't have to choose between free skiing or a fixed course anymore since there is another option these days. :) Anyway, the first 1:30 in this video might be of some use when determining where to put indicators on the boat to get the correct width. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_gocE8QMsE

I'm glad to hear that you guys not only enjoy skiing the OffCourse™ but that you also make a lot of progress by doing so! @DFWskier The total height needed for the OffCourse™ measured from the top of the window header is 17" with the standard magazines. The same goes for the Z-Magazines although they are much easier to refill if the bimini is mounted low. If someone is contemplating a purchase but want even more reviews, make sure to checkout our page on Trustpilot.

@KRoundy If you have not gotten ahold of anybody yet, shoot me an email and I will try to arrange something. erik@rodicsinnovation.com @DHski The OffCourse™ operates via its own GPS, measuring speed over ground to calculate the distance between markings that are always triggered with a 134,5 feet distance in default mode. So, just as @BraceMaker points out it will not be off by distance but by feel if used in current just like a fixed course would be. The neat thing with the OffCourse is that you actually can use it in a current where it is not even possible to throw in a regular, portable course. ;)

We have one OffCourse™ that has been slightly used during a firmware tests, it looks good and all moving parts have been inspected and/or refurbished. Will ship to a Baller at a 20% discount, send an email to erik@rodicsinnovation.com for the discount coupon. Probably the last one this season.

@r_maniak I love the GEEK-mode! Also glad to see that you are using your OffCourse™ as intended, to ski till you drop! @Rw3 We don't have an official demo program but shoot me an email at erik@rodicsinnovation.com and I will arrange something.

Thanks again for all the insight, I'll try some of the tips next weekend!

Thanks for all the tips! I will start off with a bottle of Starbrite and take it from there. B)

Hi Ballers! The Rodics Innovation tractor had a rough summer, spending most of its time in the lake without a cover. The result is a lot of black mildew stains on the upholstery and a green-ish carpet. What cleaning agents do you guys recommend to get rid of this? Thanks

We have one OffCourse™ that has been used during a photoshoot. It looks good and all moving parts have been inspected and/or refurbished. Will ship the same day to a Baller at a 20% discount, send a PM for discount coupon.

@ETskier In case you have not seen this. This slow-motion video is shot in an Insta-Slalom course at 34mph and with a 7 mph headwind.

@Siouxcitysmitty Yes, @UWSkier is right! As long you are within the speed range of 22-38 mph the OffCourse™ adjusts the distance between markings no matter what speed you're at.

Hi Ballers, Since our old videos were shot mostly on glass I get a lot of questions about the visibility of the splash in other conditions. We just released a new video that was shot when it wasn't dead calm, maybe it answers some questions. Enjoy!

@xraydoc I’m stoked to see that you are enjoying your OffCourse™ and that you find the B and C settings useful. And since you have these hoppers, I assume that you also use the INFINITY mode quite a bit! ? FYI: We have tried most hoppers on the market and discovered that since they are designed to be shaken when running around in the woods they tend to jam on occasion once used on the OffCourse™. I hope the ones you bought will work well but if you are having issues down the line you should check out our Z-magazines. @skennedy The Nelson Paint Company in Michigan is now carrying the convenient “OffCourse™ Projectile Package” on their website! After a thorough examination, we have concluded that the Nelsons Clear/Clear ball is by far the best ones for the OffCourse™, not only from an environmental standpoint but they also work great with our markers. Therefore, we highly recommendthat you use these balls with your OffCourse™ from here on out. You'll find them here. @LLLCCC We do not recommend any modifications of the OffCourse™. However, larger gas canisters are on our wishlist so we might look into that down the line.

We have one OffCourse™ that was used during a full-day photoshoot last week. It has some minor scratches but overall looks good and all moving parts have been inspected and/or refurbished. Will ship the same day to a Baller at a 20% discount, send a PM for discount coupon.

@Garn The markers are panned forward when the OffCourse™ in operation mode so normally there is no problem with a tower. Send me a picture and I can tell for sure if it is going to work or not :) erik@rodicsinnovation.com

@UWSkier Yes, 1-3-5 would be more narrow. You don't want to set the width with a 200 lbs spotter that then leaves the boat. Ï don't have any numbers on how much difference that would make since it would differ depending on the boat. We always use sandbags to keep the boat leveled even when not using the OffCouse™. It does not have to be leveled since both sides are individually adjustable but I would say it is easier/faster to keep the boat leveled than to tune the angle on the markers. Or maybe it is a matter of taste :)
