I had the same issue a little over a year ago @Ali on my 2017. Skip helped me troubleshoot as well. The throttle was replaced under warranty at Miami Nautiques. It's starting the same process over again. Occasionally won't start and emits a fuzzy/shorting sound from the throttle. I'm sure I'll need a new one again soon. @Bdecker, do you know when the redesign was done/or redesign part number?

@ral, add the OkeeApp to your to do list...get air/wind/water readings at the lake. OkeeApp for IOS OkeeApp for Droid You can also join the club from the app...actually easier to do here.

@ral, Welcome to WPB. Always fun here in the winter time...and quite busy. Nov/December are my favorite months to ski here with water that's still warm and much less humidity. You're welcome to join the club. You don't have to be a full time resident or even be local to the area. We take all members (USA Water Ski membership required.) We have monthly meetings (currently via zoom) if you'd like to get to know the crew here. Join SCPB See you around the docks.

@Horton , some of it is just habit. I really enjoy making effortless passes to drill it into my muscle memory. I should ski more 35's if my body is willing. My main point is, I think there is a lot of value in perfecting your previous passes and not drill on the one you can't make more than, say, 25% of the time (I'm no where near that currently). Of course, this could also be why I'm not skiing 38 consistently too :)

When I'm skiing well, I'm typically at @Horton 's level described above. About 90% of my passes are nothing but 32's trying to refine every aspect of the pass. I start and end there most of the time. When I feel I've fixed some things, I'll run nothing but 35's. Start and end there, for about 6 passes. For me, this exposes my flaws, then I can go back to 32 and work on those problem areas. Off the water, closing your eyes and visualizing the pass is, potentially, more important. You'd think you could run perfect passes in your mind, but that's not the case at all. I'm very visually oriented, so my flaws skiing are highlighted even more when visualizing.

@C5Quest , I don't have a delete function for ski's you've added to you list. Maybe in the future. @aupatking , that's correct regarding Denali stock settings. My app doesn't accommodate ranges for stock settings. Also, the app doesn't accommodate ski's that don't have specified lengths. If Denali wants to have their skis added to the app, they can contact me and give me some specifics I can work with.

Agreed. By far, the best webcast to date. Picture quality, format, and number of camera's/angles were first rate.

The updated version of finDB has the ability to search for different skis to view the settings others are riding. The Radar Pro Build is the most popular ski in the system. This just went into production over the weekend, so not many have opted into this 'finShare' feature yet, but there are a few Pro Build settings being shared. Go to 'finShare' in the menu after logging in. finDB for IOS finDB for Android

Hi All, Several enhancements to the finDB mobile app, most notably the feature to allow users to share their fin setup information with other users. This is not a mandatory feature for using the finDB mobile app. Users will need to opt into this feature before data will be shared to members they approve. I need some testers, especially those with Android devices. Please send me a direct message if you are willing to help out. Thanks.

@DanE Spencers binding at 29.5625 is the equivalent of 29-9/16" using a measuring tape.

Agree, Chet is one of the great coaches and worth a visit or two when you're in the area. If you can't get in there, or you're staying further north, Hobe Sound is the place to go and ski with Wim. You can sign up, pay, and schedule your sets online. https://www.hobelakeskiclub.com/

Reiterating some of the above, but I've learned within the same manufacturer, my settings work well on all of their ski's. I tend to ride oversized ski's so my set-up is far from factory, but it does work well. About 900 ski's in the database now...use this to track your settings. finDB for IOS finDB for Android I'm putting together a new release and may include a spreadsheet export if it's a desired feature.

@savaiusini I've made the stock fin data available for anyone to use via an API. I mentioned it to @OSSKI for when he's ready to incorporate the data into his web app. Data is here: https://api.paulsantangelo.com/skis/

@OSSKI look forward to seeing what you've developed. If you need stock settings for skis, I have an API you can access to pull data (JSON format). Currently it has 856 stock settings for various manufacturers. Here is the API documentation: https://api.paulsantangelo.com/skis/ Currently, it's an open API, but I may add an API key in the future. It will also allow users to browse the data as HTML with a query parameter added to the URL string as indicated in the API docs. This API accesses the same data used for the finDB mobile app: finDB for IOS finDB for Android Let me know if you have any questions. Paul Santangelo

Agree with @JAS, best Flow Point episode yet. While Wade is a great and interesting character, Marcus is developing into a first rate interviewer. Very well done.
