  1. 67, IMO, depending on the ski you are looking at. Bigger generally means easier starts, less effort skiing, more stable platform to stand on. And a little extra width won't hurt either if you are looking at a ski like the Senate (which does not come in a 66).
  2. SPRAYMAKERS PODCAST with Rossi and Trent. Listen to every episode and repeat.
  3. Anyone got the full skinny on this situation? If true this really sucks balls.
  4. We skiied this weekend barely in between showers and heavy wind gusts, water air 50/50. Gotta get ready for ski school with TW next week!
  5. Spraymakers JUNE 21, 2021 "SKI SET UP" . Lots of talk about boot setup.
  6. I am just trying to picture what it's doing and why. Ok so maybe overthinking. But it's raining and I got nothing else to think about until this thundercap passes and we can head to the lake. I will probably give this setting a rip when our water hits 60.
  7. So it looks like fin really long, fin moderately deep, but bindings farther forward to compensate.
  8. Care to elaborate? "Sick" sounds like a ringing endorsement.
  9. And for 68" if you have them? Thanks!
  10. I agree with liquid d. I suggest listening to Spraymakers Season 4, Episode 12, Gates, then rewatching your video, then repeat listening to episode 12, like 30 times, until what they are saying really sinks in. Bottom line, you need to get higher on the boat in the glide and then turn in with more speed in better position before the boat grabs you to set up the rest of the pass. https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/spraymakers/episodes/Gates-e25suv8
  11. That sucks on sizing. You might be able to find some XL Radar Vector boots discounted somewhere on closeout, which supposedly fit up to size 14, if you can't find something cheaper. Maybe somebody will chime in with some better/cheaper options.
  12. I think the Pandas were for repeating the debunked false hope of some hot-selling cheap ski boat to save the sport made by some fantasy-land manufacturer who builds ski boats for purely altruistic reasons and has shareholders who are pleased when management builds boats in the hopes of selling lots of them for a loss. Not the tool comment.
  13. I tried out a '22 67" Senate Pro this weekend. It's a very nice ski, very stable. Free skiing at 34 MPH / -28. The '24 68" Vapor seems faster cross course but a little less forgiving of mistakes. I am sub-194 pounds right now hopefully heading into the high 180s in the next week or two. I am looking forward to running both skis through the paces this year especially when the water warms up. 50-degree water can be a little deceiving as to ski characteristics as the water warms up. I am pretty sure the 69"ers are too big for me at least at 34 mph and sub 200 lbs.
