  1. If you are talking combo skis.. bindings come in two pieces each. All you have to do is to spread them apart. By how much, I’m not sure, use foot as template. Somewhere between the original screw holes, there is definitely enough space to drill some new and use the old ones for guide and measurement purpose.
  2. I had so many sets for March, that I feel I’m done… taking the rest of the month off…. Or… not…🤗
  3. Give the guy some slack… do not discourage newcomers, ok this was too much, but still, suggest him to follow the threads, learn the rules of the forum and encourage him to be a part a great community.
  4. @Deanoski I liked what you wrote and yes reflex need forward pressure to eliminate play and risk of prerelease and also testing outside is important and the concerns about the ss springs. But in the HO system the shell stays put because of the base that it sits in and can stay in place with less forward pressure and still work fine. It is just a little more difficult to adjust it when it develops more play than it should.
  5. Florida or bust! 6 hours to take off…!
  6. Skied that week and bought new ski after that. Sportube… I’m still using the same one.
  7. Last summer, on the way to SanGervasio. Ski tip was damaged, I took pictures at the airport and left so I would not miss my ski set. Send a Mail to the airline explaining everything, with photos, an invoice for the tube and a link to the manufacturer’s site of the ski and its cost. I’ve got a reimbursement that covered the ski and tube. repaired both…
  8. @whitem71mine doesn’t work either and I don’t upgrade if not needed. the message is that it has been removed from the AppStore. for me that I set up skis for a lot of people’s skis and older models, was very useful. i hope it will come back. Any advice on how to make it work again, if it’s on my end is vey welcome.
  9. Skiing this… getting in ski shape for Florida trip next week!
  10. @Horton Kyma means wave in Greek, unless It’s an acronym… they named their boat “Wave” just sayin…
  11. 6 sets so far… getting in ski shape..
  12. This is sad news, but could also be an opportunity for someone else. there is always money to be made in niche markets. Maybe a smaller size lower cost company can take over and build a ski boat, or Malibu can licensing the hull to somebody else. Anyway, if Malibu stops producing ski boats… let’s hope not…. And there is money to be made… hopefully somebody else will step in.
  13. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahk48h7P4ts Chuck Patterson is the guy
  14. There is at least one guy, maybe more, that is an alpine skier and surfer I think, that have skied waves in style. Skis were combos, but he had snow ski boots and ski poles.
  15. This is what I thought it would be about when I read the title
  16. @boscoman it’s not the thickness, it’s the model, change to a top of the line O’Neill like Psycho Tech 3/2 or similar and you won’t need any layers underneath. For upper 50s and higher, this is all you need. Zero leaks for the first 3-4 years or more, stretchier than the Epic and warmer. You can go for a 4/3, but for upper 60s there is definitely no need. Both my Psychofreak and psychotech are leaking now, but still comfortable at upper 60s. Need to buy new, have used them for way too many years now and don’t think there is any life in them anymore. I could do 50 when they were new.
  17. @scoke thank you very much for the offer, I really appreciate it! I will be with a friend. We are planning to go south for a day or two and visit Okeeheelee too, to at least see the place. I will contact you if we do, to meet and show us the place and if possible have a set. thanks again… I miss the awesome button…
  18. Hope so too… cause I’m coming to central Florida for 2 weeks end of February. I’m trying to stay in ski shape, but it’s cold now in Greece, hope this will change in the next week. had 9 sets in January, which is more than usual
  19. @markn I hope it will will get warmer soon. What do you expect the temp to be in a month or so from now?
  20. @MISkier thanks for this, I had forgotten that Thomas was the name of the father… watched the animation… really good!!
