Would you PLEASE stop making your set-up wave to the left? If you ever want to land a right handed roll on the plate you NEED to make your wake to the right.
When did you put the X-metal waterbox in there?

where is that at? Lake? River? it looks like you just drove right down to a concrete bank!
It's one of the ramps in Louisville, http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=38.287103,-85.687577&spn=0.001109,0.002138&t=h&z=19
You can get around 10 boats at once on it and they do on heavy days.

The arial doesn't look like 10 could fit and it looks like a pretty sketchy ramp... I bet It is sweet to drop right into the Ohio river there... No docks so I assume that means no "No-Wake Zone" just full throttle right to the trailer...
Hows the water temp on the river? How strong is the current if you lose power? Or fall off and lose your ski?

It's a very nice ramp, has diagonal drain grooves in the concrete, goes pretty far out, etc. It's no wake within 100' of any ramp/dock on the river and with the police around here it's best to be really careful.
The river is really wide here, so the current isn't much normally, not an issue really. If you fall off, you're in the same current as the ski anyway, so it's not like it carries it away from you.
I think it was 80F this week for the Ironman on Sunday, it's nice.

Yah but if you lose power how far down river you end-up is what I was wondering... Sounds like an awesome place to ride... I have been wanting to ride the Ohio... I know it stays warmer longer than Erie does...

I got the chinpad for the XR pole and need to finish installing/turfing it, and decided to bust out some Krylon today. (the nosepiece is black, just didn't want to put it on while the paint is still drying)
That paint line looks really good on that hood. Nice Job.
I still remember my first krylon job...ahh, good memories.

Nice paint...it will be weird seeing you on a ski that is not red. I will use krylon from now on with my skis.....real paint is wayyyyyyyy too expensive.
Someone has to get you some sparkly X-H2O stickers again... :dance:

Did I mention $18 total? $21 if you include the blue masking tape.
On the sparkly stickers, already being worked on.

crap, there goes being able to see the red and black carbon/kevlar cloth
it would be cool to have a few places in the design where it showed through.
