I have read parts of the book that EdG quotes from. i too anxiously await the arival of the retractable ski pylon, though not enough to remove it in the waiting.

my kids like to swing from the "tarzan rope" shortened T handle surf rope. it really hurts when they hit the pylon.

Please SC or some other genius, help this important matter come to pass!!! Razz and Newty, and others, are pretty smart, maybe they will make it?
