    @MarcusBrown this is awesome stuff. Taking cues from the overhead view and compiling them to the boat view is incredible. What I especially thought was useful is the way the spray changed from the ski when Rob let go of the handle. This type of analyses is really a game changer! Thank you.

    @drago - what octane where you using?

    Having just demo’d a 2024 Vapor, I’d highly suggest it. I’d also demo a C95, a Connelly Versatail, and the HO Works.

    First sets of the season at SkiFluid. Had an awesome time - even with the wind, the lake skied well. Got some really good tips from Kyle Eade as well. Most importantly the kids want to go back. I’m definitely up for that.

    Hey - “I’m from the government and I’m here to help!” Wake up folks!! It hasn’t been that long since we were all wearing masks (or forced to wear them). What lessons did we learn from that?!

    I just use black latex gloves - (Venom brand) under my normal gloves and it really helps. Doesn’t keep your hand warm, but it sure does keep the wind off. I also ski with a stocking hat to keep my ears warm.

    Starting the kids out at Skifluid this upcoming spring break. Really looking forward to it as my hope is to sit in the boat and absorb as much as I can to reinforce the teaching when we get home. Also - being this will likely be the first passes of the season I want to start them out right.

    A nice 21F and windy this morning. On the bright side I’m setting my sights on one more ski day before the end of the year - have to try out the new heater core!

    A blast from the past is Kilo Kai on the Warp ski!

    @Bdecker I would use the nitrile gloves under your normal gloves. I usually try and ski once in November and have found the nitrile gloves keep the wind chill down significantly. Without those gloves my hands would be too cold after two passes to even hold the handle.

    This time of year any warm temperature days are accompanied by a lot of wind from the south. Water temp isn’t too bad and air isn’t too bad, it the wind is what kills it. There might be a day or two left that we can ski, but we can’t count on it this time of year.

    Really excited to try the new 24 Vapor. This just confirms it!

    @horton - your comment regarding the amount of work required is what drew me to this ski. Plus I see how well my wife has progressed on her Radar = #1 on my short list.
