@ozski what lake is that?
-
Jodi Fisher says 2 boat widths at that line length. Really helped my wife's gates when she started getting that wide at 28mph/49kmh
-
skis as good as it looks, if not better.

Vapor 2016, had it 3 months. Ran more 32s (13m) in September than I ever ran on all my other skis put together. PB 2 @ at 35 (12m) is still the same but I get there just about every set. If the 2017 is better then I am all over it.

What a bummer Than, I remember you trying that boat out at our pond. Maybe if you had stuck with double boots.............
As BD said let me know if you want to head north for a pull. Come and join #teamspoiled. This is our team name for those skiers addicted to our Carbon Pro wakes and pull.

I have skied there. It was a long time ago. That bridge can be off putting at first, but you get used to it. Great island to visit, scenery is amazing.

Skied there last week. Great site and great skiing. Clubhouse is under construction, should be finished in a couple of months. Arthur is a nice guy and a good coach. Pretty well protected unless you get a strong north or south wind.

Hi
I know it is short notice but I am looking for a pull for myself and the Mrs for tomorrow Saturday 02/20 at Miami ski club. Spent 2 months in south Florida without skiing there and just realized this is our last weekend. Any kind member got some free time? I can drive if you need a driver.

Try starting at 2 ball. Ignore the gates and 1 ball, pull out before you get to boat guides for 1 ball. Try and backside 2 ball and then ski the rest of the course. It may take you a few attempts to get the timing right for the pull out. As you have the 2 ball for reference you will see if you start to drift in. You will miss 2 ball if you do.
Cheers

@Chef23 all that extra muscle you carry. I agree that the A3 can be nervous. @Luke_Riley you need to try them and see what you prefer.
-
I demoed the S2 when I was looking to change from my A1 some good things there but my scores were worse, so I wasn't tempted to buy. Went to the A3 and I liked it right away, definite upgrade for me. Faster and better offside turn. Only thing I would say is maybe not as stable as the A1 or S2. 34mph and sometimes running 32 off.
cheers

Might be more than just @rayn turning up at Dubes to ski this week
-
@Zman sent you a private message
-
I thought this was a great tip from Than, don't throw the handle. Hold it up away from you until the boat takes it away, when you know you are in trouble and not taking the hit. Throw it, and who knows where it goes
-
You guys have talked me into trying this, front binding forward move it will be tomorrow am. If I crash and burn, it is all the fault of BOS.
cheers

In Boston we have nowhere to put the snow ,you shovel it somewhere and then someone shovels it back. 55" in 10 days. Beer consumption has sky rocketed though that may also be down to a last minute interception. Holding out for first weekend in March and Orlando trip.

Another vote for Kennedy Space Center, wife and mother in law loved it. Neither are geeks.
-
Pick and choose. Look at the forecast and choose your lake 2 days ahead. You will always get a ride somewhere. If you want coaching and great conditions I vote for Brooks, perpendicular lakes NS and WE.
-
@Than your throwing of the handle gave me a laugh. It was thrown almost in the way you ski. It was like you calculated angles and technique to show your frustration to the max :D Next time a little more passion and less geek lol.
At least you didn't ding the prop halfway through the clinic like someone I can't mention.
cheers

@rayn wasn't that cold water was 74 and air got up to that too in the afternoon
-
@Than you certainly couldnt be any colder than you were on Sunday
-
I too made the change from A3 to A1. Faster and not as much work. I recommend the change. I liked my A1 and improved on it too.
-
I have the accent, just wish I could ski like that.
Met Andy last time down in Orlando, great site there.
HO S2 or A3?
