Right or wrong, I was taught to vary my transition, not the intensity, place, or length of pull out. So in a head wind, snap the ski up out of the pull out lean. Which serves to keep the energy up in the glide, counteracting the headwind.

Horton, As soon as my new ski arrives I'm getting out my grinder and a drill. New skis have warranties, right?

I ruptured my back leg ACL and never had it repaired. I planned too. But my Dr left his existing practice and moved to another and when that happened, we never rescheduled. Now, I am also a cyclist and continued riding even the week I ruptured it. Which the doctor said is why I wasn't forced to have it repaired. If you're doing cutting or jumping sports, like Basketball, having it repaired is mandatory. But after strengthening all of the muscles in my legs I've never felt a need for it.

If there is one person you should ignore, it's definitely that eleeski cat. He's loony as the day is long.

What is going to be better with the sharper bevels? What are the expected results?

Oh man, I remember day 1. Not like it’s yesterday. Because I drank a lot between then and now. Including now. Happy birthday to the ‘spray!

You're just pissing in the wind if you don't measure the angle of the dangle.

One huge thing that Chad Scott taught me is that the mistake most new and even average drivers make is fixating on the next set of boat guides. The good drivers are looking down course. As a skier, ever heard "look down, fall down"? It's the same for drivers. As soon as you start looking at the next boat guide, you get behind the skier. Plus, As soon as you start staring down the next boat guide, you tend to drive towards whichever side buoy you're looking at.

One of my favorite places I've skied. Such a unique place. Ski in front and hang out on the open water in back. Couldn't ask for a better set of neighbors in the Franks, also.

Good to know I can still completely side track pretty much any topic. 🙂

@DavidP JTH has a sweet Taperflex he's been saving for that.

That's as good as I've seen you run 38. And that line tension coming off the apex is something. Looks like it's providing just enough support without having so much that it is on you before the hookup.

We should go ahead and set the bar so high to hold a tournament that only 3 people can afford to show up. I love technology. But this coming to fruition just amplifies all the other issues that have been spurned out of the failed O-Story. I mean Olympic debacle.

What that means is that it's a 16 degree strut. You know it's a 6 bolt, and you know it's 1" . with that you can find a strut. https://www.myinboardmarine.com/products/strut-16-degree-centurion-1998-up-1-inch-shaft-6-hole-bolt-pattern-stsl-16-includes-strut-bearings-mhstrutstsl16-10

My tournament PB is 7 years from mattering.
