    It's hard to explain but here it goes... lol

    There is less "tension" in the water when going down stream. When going up-stream at the same speed, the water is harder and when you approach the wake for a jump it feels totally different. We ride 23MPH up-stream and 26MPH down-stream.

    Its not about how fast your going, its about how the water feels under the board.

    I ordered direct from PP. It was $1049 + tax (5% because I live in Quebec) but free next day delivery.

    Actually your water speed is probably the same in both instances. The reason you are going slower up stream is because the water is moving in the opposite direction thus adding additional speed to the water which the GPS unit cannot take into account for.
