Steve -

 

I'd like more info on the custom molded skiboot liners. 

Do they also make custom molded liners for snowboard boots?

 

This might be helpful in making a tighter fit, thus better control, for riding my Rush Foilboard.

If you feel that your answer is useful to the group, feel free to post your reply to the group.

 

Regards,

Steve Landess

Hey David,

 

Yes, I'm sure you'll get wise 'cracks' from some of this group... ;-)

 

But I think you've got the right idea.  The man:machine interface in always critical to controling the machine.  This is exactly why I and many others have custom orthodics and custom molded liners in our skiboots.

 

You selling them yet? Price??

 

Cheers,

Steve

Since I switched from my old AC to my SSLE I've always felt something
lacking in the interface between my butt and the ski. It felt like I
was riding on the two points of my butt bone and could not keep myself
forward on the seat where I need to be. I had to tighten the belt
until my lap was bruised. Side to side control seemed lacking also.
Here is my solution. I'm sure there'll be a lot of wise cracks about
this, my kids already named it the butt bra. Anyway it works great and
I love it.

or not!!!

Email me at nicolegruendl@... as soon as you can.

Look forward to seeing everyone!!!

Hey David -
Those of us that don't get direct emails from this group can't see the picture. We just see a box that says image not stored.
I'm interested because I get a lot of tailbone pain (took five months off offseason and it still hurts). I would really like to be able to get the weight off my tailbone. Maybe you can post a pic on foilfreaks or elsewhere or send me a pic off the list. richonlanier@....
Thanks,
Rich

A friend is looking for a good used foil so he can start getting hooked
on this sport.  Anyone got a clean billet pro with a rock tower they'd
be willing to part with?  Contact me offline.

Subject: Tennessee Fly-In - Catering Change & Items to bring with you

Tennessee Fly-In Participants:

 

We're looking forward to seeing every one soon! 

 

Catering:   The marina restaurant will not be able to provide private catering for this year's Fly-In.  They will, however, have a portion of the restaurant roped off for us and we can order directly from the menu.   We hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone.  For those that have been to the Fly-In in the past, Zoom did mention he'd have some ca'jun cookin' in the restaurant one evening!

 

Here's the link for the restuarant's sample menu so you can get an idea for prices.  This is the 2006 menu, I'd assume prices haven't changed much.

Shortcut to: http://www.sunsetmarina.com/samplemenu.htm

 

Items to bring with you: 

 

Sheets and pillowcases (the houseboats have pillows and blankets)

Towels and wash cloths

Sunscreen

Camera

Life jacket

And, of course, your hydrofoil gear

 

We'll see you next week!

 

The Tennessee Fly-In Team

> Just to make sure I (and everyone else) understand).
I think you are saying line tension is what you take
going into the trick, and line load is what you do on
takeoff. So, for example, if a rider cuts out into the
flats and almost squares up to the boat, there will be
low line tension. The rider can still load the line on
takeoff, but total pressure and height will suffer
because of low starting line tension. <

Line tension and load go hand in hand.  If your
railing into the flats and don't load the line, your
not using the full potential of that tension you had.
If you have a semi-serious cut into the flats and
really load that tension you had, your not benefiting
from what could've been a 'big air'.  Pretty much what
you said is true, but how can a rider load up the line
if he is squared up to the boat?  I would think if he
did this, he'd put himself on his ear, per se.

>Conversely, if a rider cuts hard into the flats,
stays on edge, and leans back, there will be high
starting line tension, but no extra line load (in my
example). But if the rider drops the outside shoulder
and leans hard away on takeoff (line loading), then
max height can be achieved (with perfect technique).<

Well, I wouldn't suggest to someone to 'cut out into
the flats and lean back' to get the boost you want.
So yes, you would lose that momentum (tension) you had
before you 'leaned back'.  Im not so sure about the
whole 'dropping the outside shoulder' thing.  I
remember back in the day before I learned inverts,
people would tell me that the way to do a roll was to
dip you shoulder and look over the other one.  I
remember dudes taking the hardest smacks trying this,
namely because they forgot the jump.  If you cut out
and think of dipping your shoulder to roll, your
already bypassing the jumping part.  Seperation of
your body before you reach the pinnacle of the air is
what kills almost everyone's potential.  Most people
think that they need to 'flip' and get it done, but
its the opposite completly.  You need to jump out of
the water, reach your pinnacle, then flip.  THE, and I
repeat, THE only difference (to me) between an invert
and a straight air jump is the position your back is
in (in line with the strut) as you leave the water.
Im going to end there, cause this has probably gone
over many people's heads thus far.  Oh ya, and as for
'leaning hard away from the boat on takeoff', I don't
this will get anyone very far, other than the fact
that you might get your arms ripped off or your ear
blown trying too hard to go big like this.

Take a look in the 'bigness' section of FF (that site is the best).
Shoulders should be a little forward over thighs as the foil exits the
water.  To do this, you must load properly and when you do that (ie.
Darkside Dip) you can actually get forward on take off.

The easiest way to try this is a wake front roll.  On take off, don't
lean back, but your chest forward as the foil exits the water
(actually in the air for a frame or two)...  becareful because you
will launch bigger.
