    Joe Cash!

    Interesting. My first impression is how short the list is.

    Good one. I have what I call Bruce’s Button. Whenever I lower my boat to go skiing it’s a signal for the wind to come up and/or for the Wallys to appear out of nowhere. Yesterday I fought a breeze that I couldn’t avoid. By the time I was done the lake was glass.

    43” should work well for you. The ski size should not vary with the speed. The speed you set is a matter of feel. The ski should turn easily, not bogging down and not slippery. There is no hard-and-fast rule. Experiment and see what speed works best for hands and toes. Find your comfort zone.

    Tumbleweedish. That’s a keeper Jody.

    Love the minimalist rear toe. What year is this Eric plank?

    Nice find. Mint vintage. it’s OK to admit you’re a trick skier. @eleeski Are you going to Senior Worlds?

    Only Eric would drill a hole through the bottom of his boat. Sucking wind again. 🙃

    Johnny was a good guy. My condolences to Cindi and family.

    Damn close Jake. Great skiing.
  11. BKistler
    Damn close.

    I will send you a private message. I might have what you need.

    You hit the nail on the head.

    Many thoughtful comments on this thread. One that has not been mentioned (unless I totally overlooked it) is that kids do not water ski at all these days. It’s knee boards, wakeboards and tubes. It’s rare to see kids being taught to get up on skis.

    I was successful in building the administrative foundation for competitive barefooting. That resulted in the largest growth spurt the organized sport had seen.

    @Dano When I was executive director in the early ‘80s I feared this would happen. I tried to get the Board to focus on the recreational skier. I was roundly ignored. They would spend hours arguing about technical rules and could not have cared less about growing the base.

    I’d need poles to get my weight forward. 😛

    @Horton somebody who is an experienced water skier and snow skier. Hybrid technique.

    That’s insane. The physics is interesting. Must be closer to snow skiing, sliding downhill. Big Wave Water Skiing, new sport just invented. Kudos to those guys for experimenting with what’s possible. Better them than me.

    Hedlund is the only other one that I know of.

    I just added a Performance Ski and Surf sticker to my Dynastars. Did that after I discover that Performance tunes snow skis. They’ve got my business in both seasons.

    I think Horton has a good point. A big part of the issue is that today’s skis are not designed to be used as a pair. I cannot imagine doing a WLBB on two Airas but I could stick it with my old narrower prototype-EP O’Briens.

    @ETskier I had a two-ski W5B and WLBB but that was about as fancy as I got. Thanks for the mention.

    Skied Lex’s pond about 1970. I assume it is no more.

    @kmenard Oakham, as in Lex Carroll?
