  1. Just don't ask for advice on this forum as you will only get censored answers thanks to the ski nazi.
  2. Ive typed it all out before in another thread but by 2013 everything is fixed The 6l just feels a little more forgiving while slaloming. I slightly prefer it over my 5.7
  3. Just wondering if anyone has some guidance about how they have a boat sharing agreement setup? Maybe my friend will buy an off water lot here and we will share a boat that will be kept in my dock. Just wondering what common issues come up and if anyone has an agreement that they already drew up that they could share. I ski more then him since I sometimes 3 event and my wife currently skis more then his. He keeps his stuff better then mine, but I can adapt/follow rules that we have for cleaning etc. Thanks for any ideas.
  4. @sunvalleylaw There really isnt lots of things... We have taught a few beginners here and all we talk about is get tall and wide on your gate, turn in slow and with the line and get lined up behind the boat. What you do at the ball is almost irrelevant at -15 but the ski will take the right path if you get lined up behind the boat and then let it swing out with the speed you just made. Don't worry about anything else but those three things till about -28...
  5. You're kind of asking the wrong questions, as at your length all you need to worry about is turn in slow and get your body aligned, however here is an overhead shot of a skiier that i took from pretty high so you could see the alignment, this is a very tall skiier skiing 28 so it's not too far off what a good 15 should look like.
  6. I feel like they ski the most similar of all the different boats right now, and although they vary a little from boat to boat the best skiing boat in the Austin area right now is a Centurion.
  7. @jcamp that is correct, this is so that skiers do not get hurt catching slack hits at shorter lines and faster speeds.
  8. I would like to predict the winner of this year's even then with the new changes it will be Tom Lawlor. He can get a few at 32 but I don't think he has ran -22 in a tournament yet... I will go get him to register now that it's only 3...
  9. Where exactly will you be working? If it's downtown it limits where you can ski, if its otherwise you have more options.
  10. @toddl Maybe you should have been at aquaplex this weekend to see the new color.....
  11. With my wife we had to put her in the water and get her to pull on the tip of the ski while she pushed her leg in order to find the right release setting, I feel like this is also a safe way to check it.
  12. To add to the sizing talk at 5'11" 210 skiing into -35@36 the 67 is the right size for me and I have tried all three sizes.
  13. I also wear these, they are great, and like $103 shipped for 2 pairs which last all year (200+ sets)
  14. @rq0013 any more input now that you've had some more sets?
  15. We changed to single puck on our 2012 Carbon Pro 5.7. We run a 3 blade jump prop which gives a super consistent slalom pull at 36 MPH. After the change the boat is MUCH quieter and surges less. However both of our main skiiers feel that the boat is hard to get free of now and I had to go down a letter from C1 to B1. However it is also VERY hot here, water over 90 so it is hard to say if that is all the boat. skiing into -35 and -38@ 36... Also my experience with ZO customer service was once again horrible. They sent me the wrong password, then the wrong file. If I hadn't had industry contacts to get an engineering manager to call me I don't know if I could have got the install completed.
