I love simple solutions to complex problems, adventurous waterski entrepreneurship, and dislike measuring the fin on my slalom ski. That's why I love the EZ Fin Tool so much. This basic, inexpensive device allows you to measure your fin consistently and easily.

The waterski DVDs that I love most generally fall into two categories: movies that total slalom addicts/geeks like myself particularly appreciate and those that I would show non-skiers in order to get them into skiing immediately. The latter category is the rarer of the two and is the category I'd assign to Gifted.

Let me paint a scene for you: It's 06:30AM. You woke up at 05:30AM, pressed the snooze bar a couple times, prepped the boat with gear and trailered it to the lake. You're groggy, but a stop at the gas station for coffee and some gas for the boat helps. Friends are waiting at the ramp, and you don't want to be late regardless of how late you stayed up the night before. The lake is glass. No wind, and no other boats moving on the water. The course stretches out in front of your boat, all buoys perfectly in line like the lights of a runway. All the buoys are there too— what a bonus!

I'll be upgrading my old shaft seal/stuffing box to an OJ dripless seal system this spring. The kit comes with the seal itself, a rubber bellows that connects the seal to your existing shaft log, a tee connector to tap into your raw water supply as well as a length of clear tubing to deliver water to the shaft seal. My kit also came with a shaft installation tool which prevents any threading on double-taper shafts from damaging the seal during installation.
