    Lost At Sea

    For real. Your friend was without a doubt way over his head and taking a big chance to come save your ass. You owe him big time. I lost my ski on a flip this fall and was getting hammered pretty bad. My buddy was right there, but in lake Michigan the waves are so close together he had to...

    New racer questions

    You should be able to tear up Novice class. Let your balls hang on the first lap. It's when everyone is the closest and lots of passes can be made. I was shocked at my first race how everyone seemed to just get in line taking the first few bouys. I used to bank on making several passes in...

    Roo- It really is ALL good A+++++

    I got to ride the beast last weekend. Jumped on it and on my second attempt landed a nice clean flip! I am a surf guy/ex racer. I have ridden a few flat water skis and this is my favorite by far. The hull really feels predictable and stable. Only thing I found tough is getting on it without...

    Last time I tried to contact Waterdawg I never heard back, but I agree that always looked really nice.

    What steering system to buy??

    Time to update steering systems and want something smooth and low maintenance. I don't want OVP steering because I can't afford to lose pole length with my back. I saw the system from Thrust and from ATP that look like huge improvements over systems of the past. Anything else I should look at?

    Anyone Riding Daytona this Saturday???

    Yeah, Probably true. I have been to Daytona enough times and a day by the hotel pool isn't a bad plan B.

    Anyone Riding Daytona this Saturday???

    Where is hugo? Rental cars are stupid expensive because of the holidays but sitting at a hotel all day seems like a waste so it might be worth it.

    Anyone Riding Daytona this Saturday???

    I will be in Orlando just for the day Saturday and was debating spending $80 on a rental car. If people were riding it could be worth it rather than sitting around a hotel all day. Chad

    First time in surf. Couple ?

    Most common problem for us fresh water guys when we drop our skis in the salt water is coils. Your ski might run perfect in fresh water, but in salt you can be running on once cylinder within minutes. Yes, hood straps and limiting rope really are a must. Bilge pump as well.

    Which ski should I buy? Rickter edge fs or rickter ego fs2??

    I haven't spent any time on a Edge yet, but I'm not a huge fan of the Evo. It can be a little tough to find a ski that both backflips and carves turns and rides well at high speeds. I haven't ridden some of the newest hulls to hit the market but the reason I bought my Superfreak was it was the...
