@ski6jones Problems like in illegal immigration, inflation, energy independence, etc.......???

We found out the airlines will only cover damage to a ski if the damage is reported prior to leaving the airport. We always take our skis out of the sportstube in the baggage claim area and inspect for damage. Kind of a PITA but worth the hassle!!

@chaloux ZO on our boat has been updated to single puck

The 98 Nautique that @6balls listed above is our boat. I would be happy to answer any questions that you might have. This boat has been wonderful. We bought it as a promo in 2000. We repowered the boat to have ZO installed. Boat has been used in private ski lakes in Kansas.

That is going to be a long run-off!

@Horton Wouldn't credit card numbers be a concern in a hack as auto renewal of membership is an option at USAWS? I don't consider myself paranoid, concerned about my credit card number being obtained, yes. Paranoid, no. Additional information from USAWS regarding any potential information obtained by hackers would be nice.

Skis fly for free on Southwest.

If you only wait 3 weeks instead of 6 after giving birth to get back on the water because you had a May baby.

Tie, 6 is 6 in the scorebook. Skier B needs at least 1/4 @41 to win. Skier A is no continuation.

@KcSwerver Bryan, happy to hear that your music career is successful!!! I'm glad you are still finding joy in water skiing!! Tell your Mom we said hello!

@austinhami How about letting your parents bring that boat to Enid and Conroe for us to test drive??

I grew up wally skiing at the lake with my family. Met a guy at a bar, he asked me if I skied and what ski I skied on. I knew the name of my brother's ski so I claimed it. He asked me to come to the lake on Sat. of Memorial Day weekend. He asked another girl on Sunday, then a camp vote on who was invited back on Monday. I guess I won the vote. He started me skiing the course. A year later, he cajoled me into skiing the Pomoma Lake Classic by promising me a new ski with matching wet suit and lift jacket if I made a full pass. 3 women judges (Kelly (Dlugosh) Kohler and 2 others) called me in a full pass even though I only rounded 3 ball. My nickname at the time was 26 longline.

Only judges who are 18 and older who are selected to judge a National Championships event or IWWF World Championships or multi-sport events or Pan Am titled event will need to pass a background screen – all other judges at local and regional events do not need to be background screened. I do not see specific language explaining which judges, or if all judges at Nationals need BGC. Appointed? Assigned? Volunteer onsite judges?

@lpskier that was a gross comment to make towards @Inboardfix. He is the father of two young women and is the last person I would think of being inappropriate. Sarcastic probably but not inappropriate. I thought his question was very appropriate especially given the fact that an easily made unsubstantiated claim against a male could have severe consequences to one's reputation.

@Broussard I completed my SS training months ago, I had started the training a year ago at the request (not mandate) of USA swimming. I am thinking of a ton of skiers that I know who rarely know the rule changes - it took them years to understand zero based scoring, changes in the kids divisions, etc... @klindy Yes, but I got the information from this thread, NOT from USAWS.
