I had the same issue for years. Mostly due to my "over active ski adjustment syndrome." I purchased the Whisper Fin and set it to their specs and enjoyed skiing again less the calipers. It's a joy playing with the ski and adjustments by way of 1/4 turns. May not work for you but I love it. gb

Ive got one. 10 years ago, passed out going thru the gates. Ended up going to the er and when my heart rate got to 26 they all ran in the room as if I was about to die. A young doctor came in and told me I would need a pace maker. I laughed and said when can I ski again. He wasn't sure. Six weeks later I was back on the water. Now 11 years later, I had a new one installed last year. Still skiing with no issues.

AWESOME!!

Practice is at the tournament. I heard he eats some rattle snake every now and then. Maybe some cull chickens.

Jeff Rodgers can parallel park his Mapple at the gate at 43 off and still get 2!

If you say that I'm doing this for you "the spectator" is kinda prideful. If you say I'm doing this to see if I can out ski me then that's ownership. Own up and except that the rules allow. None of this unspoken crap, that's an excuse to hide behind. No unwritten!!! If it's in writing then it is what it is. Don't blame shift this to "oh, it's him and not me. The reality is that nobody really cares what score is put up for you or them. It's all forgotten by next year anyway. It's just waterskiing. To me, it seems there is a new ski in town and it upset many of the "ol dawgs" Mostly the one who thought he had it wrapped up but wasn't even skiing. Sometimes we have to get away from those we have alliance to in order to see who we really are. Don't let a ski define who you are and what you are about. Dave M...as i talked with a great friend tonight I told him I never really liked you, even though I never met you. Only because you always stinking win. You are a great skier, one which I would love to mirror. His response....he's a really great guy and is a good man. My response to him dave is, "thank you, you have helped me in my perception of Dave M.". This is integrity. Skiing is never about who's on shore. It's about being who you are and enjoying that 16.94 seconds of freedom from this crazy ass world we live in. Live it out but don't let it define who you are. One thing that I know is this world of drama will swallow you up and spit you out, give you a new ski and make you think you are better than you are. bottom line. Go out and ski, the rules are the rules, the judges make the calls, ski it like it's your last time. The guy you skied against was within the boundaries of the rules. Accept that. Smile about it and love it. If you let skiing define you, emptiness will fill your glass. No matter how good you are there is only one who can define you. Not a company, not a man, not a ski and not a spectator. To all...enjoy those seconds of freedom we get everyday from this crazy ass world and enjoy life inside the course of living freely from ourselves. Be the one and reach the destiny our creator has for us.

just ski!!

Keep in mind...it's just waterskiing..

either way....second is the first looser...doesn't matter...keep skiing and do your best...

either way...second is the first looser. doesn't matter....

Agreed with Mr Jones. Jeff can ride anything. I have skied with him and more than once grabbed his ski and strapped it on and got no more buoys than before on my ski. I've watched him grind, file and flex test skis set after set, no name....just a ski. What helps you ski the best is skiing with the best, learning how they do what they do, listening and applying. Jeff is always willing to teach. coaching@jeffrodgers.net

He says he can ski 2014 but would need a BD qualifier near home. If he does choose to ski in the BD he may have to ski more than once or twice a week.
