This guy describing Lou ski is exactly what I was thinking the first time I saw Slade Cole ski. I thought he was going to die first pass and by the time he was into 38 I was at a loss for words. Somehow he just kept making 6...

Where are you located?

If anyone was wondering, I used PVC cleaner/ primer and PVC glue and repaired the damaged buoy. I feel this same repair method would work on an evening larger gash or damage based on the outcome of the repair. Thanks Dave for the information.

I've got some Polyform S-1 boat guides that I use as winter buoys. I noticed one of them has a little chew spot around the bottom where possibly a muskrat has chewed on it. It has a very small pin hole in it and I was wondering if anyone has tried to patch a little spot? I was wondering if a soldering gun or a heat gun would melt the hole back together? Anyone tried this before or have any suggestions?

Do you have a permanently installed course or are you installing an insta slalom each time? If they tore the grass out I’m surprised they didn’t cut out your buoys at some point.

Does anyone what’s going on with Chuck Dees old lake up against the south side of hew 60 in Mulberry? It would be nice to see an old Ski Brendella with a 5 gallon bucket for a seat pulling sets in that lake again. Throw back from 1990 for me.

I’m going to see if it will fit the pylon on my 91 Mastercraft.

So will we need to order a 2.0 model?

Tried to mount a SkiDoc 209603 Version 1.5 on a 2000 Ski Nautique pylon and the diameter is to large for the Ski-Doc clamp. Anyone have any experience with this?

Nate ran 41 all 4 rounds at Area 41 in Alabama.

Does anyone know how much the guy charges for a set or what kind of boat he’s using?

Does anyone have the guys name and phone number who offers sets? I would like to get with him about coming to ski. Looks like a nice place with not much boat traffic.

Does anyone know what lake the discussion is talking about?

What lake was this discussion about?

What lake is this discussion about?

I second the post about the HO Talon gloves

I did it 17 years ago. It took forever to heal but hearing came back normal and is fine today.

WetTech Jump Suits

I would Love to get my hands on some reasonably priced short jumpers that could be used to teach newcomers to the sport. The only way I’m going to grow the sport in my area is to recruit some total newbies but I’m excited about seeing some new blood in the sport.

I recently was trying to teach an adult to ski. I was using a pair of Obrien combo skis with adjustable heel piece rubber type bindings. I feel I am a pretty good coach and boat driver for teaching people to ski. The person was semi athletic and of normal weight to height ratio so I expected this to be a breeze. Over about 25 attempts with most times the result being the skier popped up on top of the water but had trouble balancing on the skis. I was so surprised they were having so much trouble but I just figured we should try again another day. Just out of coincidence the combo skis were on the dock and I decided to ski on them. I ride jump skis often but it had probably been 35 years since I had been on any type of combo skis. I was shocked at how difficult if felt for me to ski on the combos. They seemed to be very slick and the little bid of rubber they call a binding was terrible. It felt like the skis were constantly trying to come off and absolutely no ankle support. I also felt that it was very uncomfortable that there was no padding underneath the feet. All this from the point of view of someone used to skiing on good slalom and jump binders. I decided to do some searching of Overton's and Bart's websites in search of the best combo skis money could buy and I didn't see anything that looked even close to being much better than what I currently had. I'm wondering if anyone out there has decided to step back in time and play around on some combo skis they my have hanging in the rafters of the boathouse and let me know what you think. If there is anyone out there who knows what the best combo skis are that would have the best shape, size and binding comfort and security I would really like to know what is best and where to purchase. I'm willing to spend even $300-$400 or more if it will be a help to teaching a new person to ski.

I wish this guy would have got 13 years instead of Chad.

Look what my add for free skiing resulted! New boat driver in training!
