Dave's the best! He needs his own TV reality show.

I need one of those 222 Flat Biller hats.

4, 6, 7 and 10. Thank you very much!

How'd Chandler do in the race?

 

[RiverDave]

What is this glympse thing?

And to echo Wheeler, how did Chandler do?

1:19 and change.
He was still was signing autographs when the flag dropped.

I like the boat, I'd like to see more of it.
I've seen countless pics of this Dave Chandler, who's apparently some Parker legend, how'd he do ?
The Glympse link was dead about the same time this thread started
I'd really like to know how to get the upgraded RDP subscription that allows getting the whole story, not just the lead-in teasers.
RDP, the Havasu Herald of boating forums Where's Milk Money and Joker to properly send this thread into a death spiral ?

There's nothing more to life than being really, really, really, ridiculously good at skiing! He's also one great paper hanger.

From time to time I get the opportunity to observe for Chandler and he is stupid good at skiing...makes it look effortless!

Glympse lets you live track a cell phone..... I was at work when the race started so I sat and watched 222 on Glympse as it headed to Catalina. It overlays an icon on google maps. Works until they got midway to Catalina. When you loose cell phone connectivity, you loose the active tracking.

See that signature wave all the time as he screams by PFC when we are out foiling early in the morning.

Just recognized the gopro on his ski.... Need to see that footage!

I've seen your "Chandler" ski pics over the years, so was certainly curious how he did in the race. My dad and his buddy raced the Cat ski race, Lake Mead etc. in the 50's in a 19' Chris Craft and 17' Higgins. So as much as guys racing 40' Fountains brings the crowds, it's the smaller boats that get my attention and admiration.
Thanks

Thanks for link, I'd forgotten which boat this was. That build thread was great. I'm well beyond my ski racing days, but the kid in me keeps trying to convince me I really need one of these style of boats, lol. Although it's unlikely I'd be up for a build of this magnitude, used is a lot more likely.

 

[Wheeler]

It seems that 21Trick keeps a boat about 4 years or so. Get in contact with him and find out where his is on this one.

Video no longer available. Last pics I saw of this boat made me cringe. She looks to be in much better shape now.

I'm still waiting to see the Catalina "small boat" ski race -- hands out front, no wrap.

 

[River Lynchmob]

Looks like they got that Velocity back together. Dave is definitely a stud.

Schiada had it ready for the Havasu race.

Need to get that at least to 1:15 race Day

Not bad for a 16 year old!

Did the video get saved somewhere?
