Free advice anyone?

Chad,

I also grew up on outboards of all types. And in now ay am I suggesting I am in a position to give instruction or criticism. I take lots of video and am constantly analyzing my style, fooling myself that I know what is right.

As I found out in Acapulco, the amount I don't know far exceeds what I thought I knew. And who knew there was that much to know...

I listen to everyone, try different things, and keep what works.

Good luck and most importantly have fun..

Dave,
I checked out your crash and burn video - wow! Been there and done that...

It made me recall some pretty good crashes of my own from when I was working on a longline tumbleturn. Ouch.

No lie - Back in about 1980 a friend of mine did a tumble turn -- on a slalom ski... with a standard ski vest on ... I was in the boat. He told his dad - no matter what you see, don't stop the boat, but did not tell us what he was going to do.

Amazing stunt.
