Sprayblaster

@Bruce_Butterfield @Alvin_Neff. which of the two products did you have success with? The larger or smaller unit?

@DangerBoy, are we watching the same video? It looks like he had the most tip rise at 5, and in general he's got tip rise at every ball. My question is, does that matter? I personally spent about 2 months last summer trying to tune out tip rise. Then I got to sit in the boat and watch Nate Smith ski. He had tip rise right from the start at 32off. From that point I decided it doesn't matter as long as it's not preventing you from getting the handle back to you hip for the pull. When I gave up on the tip rise chase and focused on doing what ever I can to create space and stay connected my score started to improve. I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice to get tip rise limited as much as possible just that from my experience it shouldn't be the focus .

@BraceMaker I dont see how syrup and butter will help sales.

RFF = The Darkside

Nice. Based on the tape on her hand, looks like she has been earning them.

@BraceMaker, I understand your point but what I was getting at, is that I have had set ups that make certain passes feel easier, for instance I have been able to set the ski up to make 32 and 35 feel so easy, I was sure I'd be running into 41. When I got to 38 I could not get past 2. Therefore although the set up made the ski feel as if it were easier, it in fact was not easier, otherwise I would have gotten further down the line. My ultimate goal is to better my PB and better my average. If it is taxing or not getting to that point does not matter. Just like Ricky Bobby said "if you ain't first your last"

As far as I know there are only two units of measure in slalom skiing, huge spray and ball count. Considering most lakes are not properly equipped to measure spray, I am mostly referring to ball count. So if your PB is 2 @ 38 but previously you've done it once and since changing set up you've got that score 3 sets in a row, that would be an improvement. If you bettered you PB, that would be an improvement. If you ran your opener and second pass really really smooth but fell before your wall pass that is not an improvement. Hope that clears up what I mean. P.S. if your huge spray impressed the newly single MILF on the lake enough to get her to the end dock to give you a smile, that could also be considered and improvement.

I have passive observed BOS for a while. I now feel compelled to post. I've been reading a lot about this fin and the one thing that appears to be missing is comments about improved scores. There is a lot of talk about "feeling good" but I've yet to read about any PBs. I would not consider myself an expert fin tuner, at best i mostly yell at the fin, however I do spend a lot of time tweaking and changing set ups. In my experience there are set ups that feel good, but do not improve scores, and there are set ups that allow you to start shortening the rope beyond where you have ever been. I call the set ups that "feel good" but don't allow improvement "training wheels." They give you a nice false sense of security, but eventually you have to take the training wheels off and learn to ride the bike. So, is the whisper fin an expensive set of training wheels or is there anyone out there that has become a measurably better skier as a result of this product. I'd like to know before shelling out that kind of money
