Subject: [Hydrofoil] Rear wing wanted for B-39 t-bar

 

Hi All, I am looking to upgrade the rear wing on my B-39 tbar.  Currently have the stock bat rear, so if anyone has a used Extreme, FoilTech, or N2O wing that they are looking to sell for a reasonable price let me know.  Hoping to not have to do a keel mod but will consider if have to. Thanks! Michael

Subject: [Hydrofoil] Opinions on foil rack

 

Hi

 

Any opinions on the "Air Boom Swivel Rack" at the bottom of http://www.onlyinboards.com/ski-boat-accessories/airboom-hydrofoil-rack.html?

I know that everyone loves the CompTech Swivel Rack, but as I recall it was quite expensive.  BTW I can't actually find CompTech's site now for some reason -- can someone point me at their site?  Google's not helping me...

 

Opinions on any other brands welcome, too.

 

Thanks!

DB

 

Hi Everyone!

I have got you a great mix of freestuff. It is all listed on the page below:

I am sure you will find something of use!

Hi,
    my first post to this group.
I have been skiing, kneeboarding & wakeboarding for years ... and now would like
to have a go at 'the chair'

This may be a frequent Q, but anybody got a 2nd hand one for sale or know of one
...
Due to the high cost, I would like to start with a 2nd hand unit and if I take
to it (or it to me) I would then move up next season.

So maybe somebody has started out and now going for a newer model and wants to
sell on a starter item ??

I am in teh UK ... so would prefer somebody in Europe .... but failing that if I
can get a good deal I'd buy in US  (I can supply a US address to ship it to)


So anybody want to help out a starter ... ?

Hi y'all, I know I've been away from here for awhile - but know that I've missed
you!  I'm traveling up to Oklahoma City right now and have some time to goof off
this weekend.  I'd love to find a boat and hydrofoil to help fill that time -
I'm SOOOO tired of being HOT already this year and have been stuck working far
from the nice cool mountains of N. GA I moved to so I could get away from this
kind of misery...

I'm happy to provide fuel, food, boat launching and cleaning help as well as
sloppy foilin', hard-crashing entertainment for the privilage to hang out with
you.  BTW, lately my best trick is a combo - jump to crash!!  I haven't been on
my foil much in last year or so - unfortunately.

I'll be in OKC for about a week, then to Kansas City for a couple weeks - so if
ya know someone in either of those places I can entertain (read: bug), pass my
contact info along to them!

I just joined the group  when my girlfriend suggested it to me.  I never thought
there would be someting like this, this is awesome. Ive  been riding for 3-4
years.  I can jump pretty well and land 90% of them, prally 2 years ago i
started to try rolls outside of the wake and never had any luck landing them. 
Most of the time i would over rotate.  last year i bought movies to teach me.  i
then began trying wake rolls, but same bad luck over rotating.  Ive watched the
videos numerous times the main thing they say is spot your landing.  maybe its
just me but the flip seems to happen to fast for me to be spotting the water
again before the ski is fully around.  Hopeing someone will help me.  I live in
South Jersey and do most riding in mays landing if anyone in the area would be
interested in meeting me, I would also come to you if maybe your in delaware or
eastern PA.  If anyone thinks they can explain it through email or telephone it
would be a great help as well.  Please Help

something I'd added...

Was having a great weekend with one good run after another. Sunday morning
went to pop an off-side wake roll, brain-farted mid air and looked the wrong
way, resulting in a boring, run-of-the-mill crash.

Or so I thought... When my wife brought the boat around she hollered, "Do
you have the rope"? Turns out I'd somehow managed wrap it around the t-bar
on take-off (or maybe when I let go mid-spin when it became dreadfully
obvious it was time to 'eject'?). The CINCH RELEASE was set for maximimum
(full velcro connection) and I never felt a thing...which I'm happy to
report, cuz the alternative would have been fugly. THANKS LONNIE!

My rope and Foil Tech T-bar (which I LOVE) didn't fare as well. About 6
inches of the leading edge of the T-bar was folded over on itself about 1/16
inch (right in the middle) and it had sliced clean through one of the thick
handle-triangle ropes (and the plastic sleave it was encased in!)

Summary: you don't need to be doing BNCs to benefit from a trick
release...once in a while even the most basic mundane trick can misfire.

Hi everyone!
10 days till Nationals begins.
It's looking to be a load of fun with people gathering from all over the U.S.
and 1 from Germany.

The schedule will be similar to last year.

Each day will begin at 8:00 a.m. with a rider meeting  If you compete that day,
you will need to be at the meeting.

Please make sure to go to usawaterski.org and get your registration done for
Nationals.  You will need to make certain your membership is paid with usa
waterski well before the event.  If I have not received the confirmation of your
membership from usa waterski, you will be paying your membership fee again. 
Same goes for registration so make sure to pay it via paypal or mail it well
before the event.  Again, if I have not received confirmation or have your
registration fee in hand, you will have to pay again at the event.  There are no
exceptions.  When you register online at USA Waterski, you will have the option
to pay via paypal.  I will receive notification when your payment is made.
Fees are the same this year.  50 per event or 150 for all three.  Membership to
USA Waterski is at the grassroots level of $35.00.


Friday night will be a dinner at Austin's Homestead and will feature "Who
Brought Larry" a very popular local cover band, as well as our very own, Bobby
Earl.  The dinner is $10.00 for each person.  You are welcome to bring anyone
you like, please make sure to let me know if you will be coming so we'll have a
head count.  Also, you will pay for your dinner(s) when you come to the
registration booth.  It promises to be a great night!

A couple of our riders will be hosting parties at their homes.  One on Thursday
night and one on Saturday night.  Don't miss these!

Nationals will be a fantastic event this year, thanks to our sponsors.  Make
certain to let them know how much you appreciate them!
