If someone could smuggle my ski and I across the boarder I'd be there Larry!
Minnesota may definitely be doable, is there more info somewhere about it?
When in doubt, Layer Out! Noice!
I've had the same experience with the members here and in our foiling world. If not for them I'd still be huckin' it!
Hopefully the boarder opens before too...
There's a couple beauties in the classifieds right now if you can raise your budget by a $1000 or so.
I thought once you had 5 posts you could start adding pics.
I was on a budget and I needed a winter project so mine started out as a SS rock too but adding a G-10 plate from air chair was pretty easy and added the cushy ride. It took a couple trys to find the...
I would recommend skipping the lightweight board step and go straight to the carbon fiber if you can swing it, you won't regret it, biggest bang for the buck in my view. Give Collin a call at Air...
Amazing! Our lake is officially hard water now... so this helps!
Atta boy! Way to play through the pain of that basketball injury buddy!
That sunset pic would look great on the back of a t-shirt!
How did the get together go Larry? Any pic's of the extravaganza?
Thanks to Tallredrider I was able to add a couple destinations to my list this year:
Willard Bay Reservoir Utah, Quail Creek Reservoir Utah: Check and Check!
Thanks Buddy!!!!!!
Thinking this is the Cobra front wing (3 grooves on each side). The Stache has 4.
We started out right around 20mph and had a standard no stretch 80ft rope. You can pick up more speed if you need to with your cut out to the flats, with your outside hand grab under your knee and...
Instead of a surf rope w/ handle we've used a section of 3/4" bouyant marine rope about 8-10ft long with knots tied in it every 18 inches or so, no actual handle. We'll put it on the ski pylon or the...
Bump. Got some details firmed up, so we arrive in Salt Lake city on the evening of the 10th, I'm available to ride there all day Sept. 11, 12 and most of the 13th. Then we're off to St. George area...
Welcome, your story sounds familiar, I rented one in '92 and then didn't buy my first one until 2012. Lots of great info here and the people on this forum are eager to help! Ask away!
Sweet edit! Wow, looks like an awesome place to ride!
Bahaha!! Awesome!!
Another classic Nuge! Is that you at 2:15? Ouch!
Looks like some poor soul is chumming the living room on his way to the bathroom at the end... Quality entertainment!
Lake Muskoka's water levels are way up this spring. Went up to survey the damage and found the brother inlaw's air chair floating around in the boathouse. What a mess!
Excellent!
Pm sent.
It's a little early to throw this out there but I'll be in and around Salt Lake City Sept. 10 to 14th. My wife has a conference to attend and I thought I'd tag along, while she is in her meetings...
Oops. Mr. Moderator delete this thread if you please.
Hockey helmets work fine in a pinch. We took some knuckleheads up to the cottage a few years ago, we had more problems finding life jackets that would fit, but the shinny helmets worked great. I'd...
What a Beauty!
Looks like M&M have changed his bindings a bit, liking the heal wrap style. Which t-bar did you go with?
Sooner the better! We have a foot and a half of ice to melt. After this week it looks like the warmer weather is starting to pull in. Last year we were on the lake by Apr. 22. Two years ago was Mar....
Hey Nots, are these T's still available?
Killin' time in the off season, lots of shiny new iron to see plus had a chance to meet Charlie (Chuck the Truck) Newlands of the Canadian Show Ski Team. This guy's got some serious talent!
Here...
Happy with mine, I don't dish the punishment like the pro's though, on good days I might hit frames in the high 40's.
Hehehe!
Nuge FTW!
I like buddy's enthusiasm at 5:45, been there with that trick.
Booyeah!
Big shout out to Mittenfoiler! Made a run for the border in August and rode the middle channel of Lake St. Clair with him and his buddy Dave, these guys are inspiring, they're proof that I should...
Gotcha! Dude next door at the cottage has the 'uni' and a bunch of other crazy stuff.
You lost me.:confused2:
A lot of the same but managed to finally hang on for one.

Soak it with liquid wrench or some other kind of quality penetrating oil, give it some time to get in the threads (at least an hour or more). Then put the allen key in the screw and give it a couple...

Welcome! Always good to hear someone new get the foiling sickness. Mike Murphy has a bunch of great how-to videos on his NextFoils website. Study them and then put into practice.
I've used 3 strips of 2 inch velcro for the last 3 years. Removable and works great.
Depends how picky you are, I've tried a few different styles from full-on slalom gloves to scuba ones, I like a bargain so the last 4years or so I've been wearing Mechanix gloves like the ones below,...
Good job! Keep pushing the envolope!
We should try to hook up sometime, I'm only about 2hrs. from you. Where do you drop your boat in?
Was able to straighen it and fabbed up an extra brace, turn out nice, only added 0.4lbs with everthing. Will see how long she lasts now.
Good news bad news, good news I'm getting decent air with the new CF board setup, bad news getiing enough air that an awkward crash finally bent my tower. Caught it before the point of no return...
I didn't realize the struts were extruded. Maybe I got it mixed up with the new fuselage/strut connection, I do remember hearing about that.
Heard a rumor Murphy was working on a non adjustable 40 inch (wet length) 2 piece t-bar with a machined top styled more like a LE38 utilizing all 3 mounting holes, is this a go?
Try N2Orbit, my buddy just picked one up there on March Break on his way to Florida to ride it for the first time with Geno. Its got some used and new parts, should be a great ski.
Looking good boys, definitely ballsy with those growlers floating on the water.
