I would like to see some people that water ski post some stuff in net.rec.boat.

Yes Virginia, there are still some of us out there that burn the fossil fuel
to have fun. Don't get me wrong, I am also a laser sailer, a canoeist, and
occasionally hit the white water, but I love to ski.

In particular I am interested in hearing any user experiences with some of
the HO (Hugh O'Brian) skis and bindings I have seen in the last couple of years.
The idea of adjustable sized interchangeable toe pieces is ideal for people 
like me that have to share a ski with another guy and two little footed
ladies. Are they worth the bucks? What about the fact that they raise you
an inch above the surface of the ski? SHould I get the plate version or
the regular version? Do the Velcro straps help and do they hold up under
a lot of use?

Also I would like to hear from a few people about water ski slalom courses
and how to build them. I set one up last winter. An experience to say the
least. See other article for a humorous description of that experience.

thanks
