To avoid serious abrasions, do not use plastic zip ties on your "vented panty fronts"!

I don't understand why TW doesn't just charge @brewski a licensing fee. I think @brewski product is superior in many ways to the AG. TW doesn't appear to want to market his product. Why not let @brewski do it and sit back and collect royalty cheques? Monetarily, I'm sure TW would be ahead of the game with this type of arrangement.

If there is a patent on this type of product, how does FM get away with selling their handle guard? Is it just the slightly different swooped design that makes the difference? Not having seen the NE in person, does it not allow you to transfer on and off the rope with ease compared to other products out there? Is that not enough of a distinction?

Reading the reviews, does not sound as good as the video would lead you to believe. Can't put it on anything that will rub against something else. I'd say boat covers and ski vests are out. @drago I find the 303 Fabric Guard works great for boat covers. Especially Sunbrella fabrics.

Anyone played around with this stuff? Can't help wonder if it would work on ski vests. I don't know about everyone else, but there's no better feeling than putting on a wet ski vest. ;-)

I've read that with the development of the ProStar that @marcusbrown has a private lake somewhere. Does he do lessons or video coaching? Very impressed with the knowledge that he's displayed in any of the videos he's been involved with over the last few months.

That Malachite Moccassin is nice! @brewski, Is the spectra cord lacing available in black?

I'm with the guys above preferring a central anchor point to the handle. Otherwise, the guard could actually funnel your hand/arm into the hole in a fall. Adding that point will increase rigidity and create more of a deflection. Plus, I'm assuming there's way higher probabilty of an arm going through than your head.

@Brewski You should start to find colours that match/compliment common rope colours. For instance, I'll want want in "Masterline Red".

I'm Canadian but a YouTube channel with tons of instructional videos that would take a recreational skier from beginner two-ski to course ready slalom skiing. Make sure there are links in the description pointing to part of the website with a list of clubs/schools across the country that viewers can go to get personalized, local instruction (never been on the USA ski site so I have no idea if this type of page exists. If it doesn't, it should). Same advice goes for WSWC if anyone in that office north of the border is reading.

I bought a Wiley with my quantum. So tight even with proper sizing that I could only stay in it for about 10minutes (some people like that, I obviously don't). Sent it back after 3 days and bought a Reflex. So comfortable that I can stay in it for 30-40 minute plop and fall sessions! I also feel it's more responsive.

@Texas6 & @Onside135 Is this the thread? ballofspray.com/forum#/discussion/comment/78341

I'm thinking about a Prophecy as well. If I keep my current bindings, can I switch to Stealths later? Do the Stealth mounts fit the standard hole pattern?

Anyone know if the Stealth's have any improvements for 2014?
