Closer to center & up gives me a better view, but interfere with swing out of center window to Bimini. In front of driver tends to give me a better view of my hat.

@Jody_Seal that one was tracking a Shore Path

@aussiemc has an '03 MasterCraft that has been converted

A guy I knew back about 15yrs or so, had a prototype that was laid up with the graphic from a combo set, for giggles.

Red Bull did a wakeboard event in a cave about 15 years ago, much smaller scale. Towed by jetski.

Get some some ski families to buy your neighbours houses...crisis averted !

I remember a video of Andy Mapple talking about Reflex. He mentioned starting out with it rotated , & straightening it up as you get used to it. If I changed to something different that "ran the same number of buoys (ran smooth -28 at 34.2 passes) despite it feeling strange", I would continue & adapt to the new feel.

Love white & silver colour schemes !

How would everyone feel if a Billionaire/Super-Villian/"Doctor" developed their own mega-dollar boat/speed control that helped them gain a pass, but no one else could use it ?

I am RH & kick R foot, LFF on any board, skate, wake, snow, & can ride switch quite well. When I started trying to run the slalom course (LFF), I was constantly told to get more weight on my front foot. So one day I thought maybe I'll try just putting the foot with more weight to the front. Better results straight up ! After a few years I tried swapping my grip & that felt better too, so now I'm RFF and Right palm up.

@ozski your comment stands out from the others, purely by being relevant to the title of this thread ;)

SuperShell is a decent fit for wide feet, Get more where needed with heat gun & patience. ..........& flatten the bottom while you're at it !

@"Buford Danger Horton" That is awesome ! My 4yo had her first ride behind the boat last weekend. It's a great feeling to see them having a go.

@maxepr the non-adjustable fin could be limiting on an otherwise great shape. My wife is on an old Allegiance from the Sixam 2.0 mould & it has worked all the way from 40k up to 55k.

Looks like an intermediate level ski, with basic non-adjustable fin. Allegiance & Seige of the past were out the Sixam mould with simple lay-up, could be similar with the name revived ?

@dchristman you just described my struggle with bindings. Bootfitters describe my feet as "square" "To have enough horizontal space in the toebox to allow your toes, especially the big one, to splay out naturally when applying pressure." My shell would need to be 5 inches wide !

At 200lbs, I feel I am more vulnerable to external factors, like stretchy ropes, driver input, soft boats. Being stronger doesn't help me like being lighter & skiing smarter does.

Try getting him to balance on 1 foot with his eyes closed & see how long he can last on each foot.

@Bill22 try opening 2 webcast tabs & alternate when the ads start

@Horton think of a comparison of "type/style" like the difference between Nate & Freddie getting the same job done. In either case, always better to increase the release value after a slightly early release, than wish you had started lower....& definitely test, test, test before use.

@Horton I prefer to think of it as "style" rather than ability, prevents the ego influencing the selection. My ability is more like type 1, my style is more like type 3, my body is happier with type 2 TYPE I SKIERS Cautious skiing at lighter release/retention settings Ski conservatively Prefer slower speeds Favor lower than average retention/release settings - this corresponds to an increased risk of inadvertent binding release in order to gain increased releasability in a fall TYPE I settings apply to entry level skiers uncertain of their classification TYPE II SKIERS Moderate skiing at average release/retention settings Ski moderately Prefer a variety of speeds Ski on varied terrain including most difficult trails TYPE II skiers are those who do not meet all the descriptions of either Type II or III TYPE III SKIERS Aggressive skiing at higher release/retention settings Ski Aggressively Normally ski at high speeds Prefer steeper and more challenging terrain This corresponds to decreased releaseability in a fall in order to gain a decreased risk of inadvertent binding release

@skialex think of it as choosing skier type 1 release on alpine skis, with lower than average release values where you would move from a 6 to 5 to allow for weak limbs or slower skiing speeds.

They do run a little on the smaller side. I have a short wide foot (about a size 9) with a preference for a tight fit & used the 10-12 size.

When I asked an Australian agent for some of the big brands about getting some binding lube 10+years ago, he recommended I use the most basic no-frills dishwashing liquid, no fancy additives & not concentrated formula. I have been using it since (small amount undiluted) & it washes out easily. $0.99/litre I haven't noticed any drying of my foot, comparing to the other foot in the rtp. I always dip the binding just before lube goes on & wet my whole foot right before it goes in the binding .
