Gary, You need to come down and drink some beer with me! Need to put some fat on you!

Definitely 1 size up and not to tight.

FYI, Ended up using the USPS. Rate from Austin TX to Oakland CA was 43.00, and to Richmond KY, 24.00, thats with insurance. Not as bad as I was expecting.

Wow, 70 seems expensive for a ski. Guess I better shop around a bit, maybe USPS.

Hi, Who do you prefer to ship skis with? How much does it cost approximately? Within the states. Thanks for your input.

Thanks for all the input. It seems that people's experience is either No problems or total fail. Like I said this is pair number 3. Is the Pulse comparable? What will I be giving up in performance if anything? I went to a 11 in the Carbitex somewhat to give me more room side to side for my foot width. I read on another post that the Pulse is a bit wider. @brooks ? Don't think any shops in Austin have any to try on for size.

Thanks for all the comments. Like I said this is my 3rd pair and they have all fallen apart at the same exact areas. I actually wear a 10, but use a 11 just because they feel better on the width. And for safety I never clinch them tight. Dislocated knee, 10 years ago. I really try to be gentle with them, but it sure looks like its a common issue for most. I'm embarrassed to post a pic of them now, but I am still using them, hopefully last the rest of the season. Just seems for 650 bucks a pair they should last longer.

Just curious how long people are getting out of these boots? I love them and this is my 2-3rd pair but after 2 seasons of average use I need to start zip tying them together around the back side where the rubber meets the material. I always remove the liners and kept indoors during the off season. What is your experience with these? Any suggestions? Really concerned with safety.

Trent is a great coach. Texas ski ranch is mainly a cable wakeboard lake, don't think they have a course. I am at Aquaplex and may be able to give you a pull that week.

It's about time! Congratulations Eddie, you deserve this, and much, much more! Maybe a new Ping Pong table?

I agree with @ghutch. If a new Freind is looking for a pull, gas money is more then sufficient.

Thanks Brooks and Trent for the pull today. I walked away with a few things to work on and it's always fun to shoot the breeze.

What lake in Austin?

We need more of this type of stuff.

Nice ski, but I also like your Doolittles in the background, Which all do you have?
