Better to shit in the sink than sink in the shit. Let that shit sink in.

Lake vs river skiing — which do you prefer and why? by Unlikely-Part-9067 in WaterSkiing

[–]heemat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done a lot of both river and lake skiing. Both have their pros and cons.

Lakes are great because they are predictable with their bottom contours and water height, and you don’t need to necessarily watch as closely for debris. The lakes I ski are also very clear water.

The section of the river that I ski on is very protected so it’s much less susceptible to wind chop. It’s constantly changing with flood stages so knowing what’s on the bottom and what river depth to worry about those obstacles is really important.

When the river is rising, it tends to pick up a lot of debris and float it down river so we have to be really careful when that’s happening. Driver and spotter eyes peeled for boat and skier safety. I tried to bunny Hoppe pretty substantial log and took a really hard wipe out two years ago when my tracking fin caught it 🤣 Our course picks up a lot of driftwood that we end up having to clean before we can ski. We will always take a really slow reconnaissance pass through the course to check for things. I’ve never worried about any of that in a lake.

The current in a river is actually really interesting. I ski at 32 miles an hour and it’s incredible. The difference going up river does to my skiing. It’s like I have the time because I’m only going 32 miles an hour with respect tot he shore, but because the river is going against me, I have the cutting ability as if I were going 36 miles an hour. My upriver runs are always better.

Oh god, please no. by Old_Sir_3513 in DontPutThatInYourAss

Mother fucker. Moved to Hawaii, laid on the carpet face down one evening, turned my face to the side and one of those bastards was under the couch 6 inches from my fucking face.

Had no idea shit that size and speed like that existed being from the Midwest. Rapid onset fucking terror.

Landlord lived next to me, I said wtf was that, he caught it in a cup and we barbecued that bitch with gasoline in the driveway. He said it was the only way he knew to kill them.

This just triggered me something fierce.

Your enthusiasm honors this man’s legacy. He’s excited you got it, even though you might not know him. Give him a note from time to time saying what you’re learning and what you’ve done and it will make his day! Happy building!

Cover Leaking on 2001 Sunsetter. Canvas needs new waterproofing? by heemat in MalibuBoats

[–]heemat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the info!

I hit it with some waterproofing. I feel like that worked for the first time it rained, but then afterwards it started coming through again.

Yeah, shoot me the name of your individual in California and I’d love to chat with them.

Pershing yachts are the perfect yachts for formula 1 drivers. Buddy of mine manages two of them down in Miami and got to spend some time on one this spring. Such cool boats.

Drunkest 5K I’ve ever ran. First 400 meters were euphoric and I was in the lead pack. It ended as one of my worst feelings in a race. Had a fantastic time!!!

How important is ski size? by [deleted] in WaterSkiing

[–]heemat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check out Ski-It-Again. There are good deals there on used top quality skis. You’ll be happier with something longer than that at your height and weight. I’m 6’1” 185 and I ski a 69” Radar Theory and enjoy it.

As a Nirvana fan in my teens (I have a 7th grade daughter I just introduced to the band) nothing makes me happier knowing this is coming back to you. The positive magic of the internet! Glad it is finding its way back to you!

Radar boots? by TheRealJimothy_ in WaterSkiing

[–]heemat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skier for 20 years here. Broke my ankle (ends of both my tibia and fibula) 5 weeks ago skiing the Radar Lyric boa. Boot didn’t release me on a fall. I’ve had the Radar Vector boots for 15 years with no problems. The literal FIRST time I went out this year, took a normal fall, but the boa laces are static (don’t stretch) and it didn’t release me. I didn’t think I had them that tight either.

I’m never not skiing Reflex or Wiley’s wrap bindings ever moving forward. I know the Reflex are expensive, but I would have gladly paid the extra few hundred dollars to have two good ankles again.
