  1. SkiRV

    1978 Pro Am

    Splashed off a Mastercraft hull. Built in Contra Costa, CA by Rod Redford for several years. I was the factory promo boat in 1977. I might still have original brochures, but will take some digging to find
  2. @mmskiboat 2-1/2" split collar clamp. Could also use wakeboard tower clamp. PVC has bushings pressed in top & bottom
  3. Sorry...accidental click while reading thread
  4. @Horton Did you ski it with the Raptor Profiled Spoiler or a standard wing?
  5. I'm a long time AWSA member, have skied many different formats and have also skied one INT tournament. Can't really say that any of them felt different. Most tournament don't have enough skiers per division already and all you're doing is competing with yourself and getting a score for the Rankings List. I actually had more interest in attending Reg/Nationals when we had to get 2 EP Ratings and didn't know where you were seeded until you showed up and saw the starting list. In this new era of shorter attention spans and busier schedules is more skiers the objective? If we add more rounds to Reg/Nationals, results should normalize and end up just where I was ranked on the list to begin with. I do agree with @klindy I'm not sure what problem this is trying to solve.
  6. Following the earlier Reflex boot thread, I am curious about what other rear boot set ups people are using with a front Vapor or Strada. I have been using double RS-1 on the Sequence plate for years and was about to upgrade to the new Vapors. I run my rear boot very loose and was considering maybe going to the Vector or HRT
  7. VTX? Didn't HO have a ski called that back in the mid 90's
  8. Try Vimeo.com. Download/stream it for $10 or 24 hr rental for $2.99
  9. I just listed a 3/4 lenght Assault and a Throttle on ski-it-again a couple of days ago, if you wear an XL
  10. Just spent 1/2 hr reading through the other threads about D1/D2 Nationals, Big Dawg rule changes, and how to make tournaments more fun...Who care if he only skis 1 tournament? If the guy wants to travel from AK to WA and ski Regionals why would you not want him there? If he's good enough to place or win then more power to him. Numbers are declining at all level of tournaments without putting up more barriers to participation.
  11. http://intleague.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/US-Championships-Combined-Scores-2014.pdf So this past year INT only had West and East regional tournaments and combined the results for a virtual Nationals, but I also don't think they really had the numbers to do much else.
  12. Just moved from a private lake in WA where tubes out number skiers, wakeboarders, and barefooters combined. Lake sat empty a majority of the time. I sold to be closer to grandkids and downsize in retirement, but over the 14 yrs I lived there watched the # of course & tournament skiers decline every year. Saw it change from waiting to get a set to become not being able to find a driver. Access wasn't an issue, but more recent owners seemed more interested in living in a gated community then being on a ski lake.
  13. I agree @Chef23, I would go through a bunch of mistake skis jut figuring out what I wanted! Would be interesting if for Adam or someone else with a lot of industry ski experience could start a thread about how flex, rocker, profile, and other factors effect things separately and together.
  14. Saw this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Waterski-Fin-Gauge-HO-D3-Goode-Elite-Connely-/320931203938?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ab8fd8b62
  15. I just moved to Chico in June and got a membership at Villa Lagos, about 25 min. north in Gerber. Open guest policy and never crowded weekdays. Let me know if you need a ride.
  16. Check out www.performtex.com. Great tape, good prices
  17. We usually ski behind a CC with ZO and drew a Malibu for Nationals. Just wondering, does anybody change ZO settings between different boats?
