Whew! That looks like a lot of work! :)
Suggestion and tip: start from a wider point out side the entry gate for your entry gate and ball one. Keep it up you might rally become addicted to the slalom course |

Maybe an unnecessary clarification, but that is Kevin's (12-ish?, young teen?) son, not Kevin. |

I agree on the angle of entry - He (Blake 10) had just made his first complete long line pass and we jumped to 15 off. It looks like a 6 ball miss but I was watching in the mirror the wake of the ski was outside the ball. This course is on a public lake and not necessarily the straightest, and not the most perfect of conditions. INT slalom event coming up quickly and he so wants to break into thee next division.

Nice,
Looks like the boat is going a little slow for his skill level. Ski seemed like it was going to submerge a couple of times. A little faster and the wake will flatten out some. |

Good to see Kevin!
I don't see what Mike did. Wake is a lot better then the '68 Nautique, right Kevin? Some static stance work will net big gains. Hips appear behind his shoulders, and little light of the front foot, hence its flopping. Correct that and he won't fold on the wakes, zip across, and that double-pull will go away. |
