  1. You're asking the guy that didn't make them Downloaded the PCP, does it warm up the water?
  2. "This boat is not equipped with a battery"
  3. Thanks for the paywalled link @spud 🫤
  4. I think she will have more opportunities behind the Nautique edit-as @vtmecheng said
  5. WR coming soon. Becky-Regina-Nautique combo...🔥
  6. I'd say that's the final nail
  7. ⬆️that! Plus: not sure you can buy dvds anymore, or play them 😬
  8. @Horton to be clear--I am not on any way saying I understand ski construction. I’m emphasizing your point⬆️
  9. ... although... Back in the Day, iconn made a c-6 67 by adding to a 66. Definitely their best ski that year.

    Tuning

    I would double check that. *It's important to know the level of the skier giving advice/measurements. If you're shooting for 35 off, advice from someone at -22 or someone at -39 might not be appropriate (unless the -39 guy is a coach and knows where you are and want to go)
  11. In Dubai, 95 is the lowest-grade available 🔥
  12. I was actually on the test team with this ski. Had to sign an NDA, but the media boycott has been lifted... . Shout out to the great staff at Donut Time--Al Mamzar Lake, Dubai, for hosting our secret test sesh. Their Chocolate with Mixed Sprinkles is the best I've ever had. On the medium, which is the only size, (I’m 6-7 when I spike my hair, 196#) I ran my freeski practice pb down the line off the dock.(4@41@38mph). Never looked back. You owe it to yourselves to buy this ski. Don't bother demoing. On the gate it's automatic, just close your eyes and it backsides the entrance. Cast out is phenomenal, gains about 25 feet from whitewash to apex. Shuts down like a skydiver hitting the deck, and from apex to centerline it literally runs perpendicular to the boat path. (running bindings at 22 23/32", stock fin [plastic, direct screw-into bottom of ski] is at 2 1/2" dft, 31/32" depth, 4" length. Water was 125°F, using Acme 1/8" polypro Pro rope.) Another tester (4'2", 76 # wet), same settings, ran 3@41@38mph. Thank you MB and DW, this ski has added 40 years to my life.
  13. can we stop talking about horses?
  14. I guess it might be possible for a lefty. To see the 55s through the windshield at the start of your glide--This means your working pull is around 10', then you glide. At the windshield, with 20' of work... , maybe. Pretty aggressive. IDK, I've done a one-handed gate for 20 yrs, where I "sprayed" the 55s @ 39. Did a two-handed gate all of last summer and stunk up the lake.
  15. Excessive Cap's and exclamation points usually lean me toward maladjustment.
  16. Those bindings generally cracked in two right above the horseshoe, so I can't image there are many out there. They also have superior heel lockdown because of the extra L-shaped material inside surrounding the ankle (Not a good thing) A simple rubber wrap like a Connelly Stoker or Comp would be a good replacement. Or what @eleeski says⬆️
  17. I was just about to reference MB's post and how y'all thought he was nuts
  18. I've been adding a washer ever since I heard about it. I set up for a good onside and really good offside (where I never want to blow the fin), add the washer and get ripping.
  19. Different financial scale, but also in bicycles. The supply/demand/order/preorder/forecasting tornado is fascinating. There is a great, longish, 3-part podcast on this https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/escape-collective/id1655210692?i=1000645111182
  20. I still think of @Horton as a jumper 🕴️
