Zero Off - Minimum set speed

[Punyelroo]

Has anyone tried using a Zero Off for surfing? The min set speed appears to be 15.5MPH which is a little fast - at least on the Slalom version ....?

Anybody know how to get it to work at lower speeds? Trick mode might work but cant test it right now....

Also the speed increments are a little too chunky for my liking - 1.9MPH is a bit coarse - any way to make them smaller?

I realise I'm using it for general recreation more so that course slalom for which its designed ... wondering if the wakeboard option might be better for my purposes?

Cheers

If you switch to training mode you can go much lower than the slalom presets.

How have you set up the TXI for surfing?

Any gates or external wave enhancements?

I was under the impression you have Maliview? Set it to your desired speed. We use ours for all our disciplines and it works well,

Now saying this, all our pre-sets are set-up at 18 mph and above. ? hummmmm....Wonder if there is a minimum on it ?

Dare, AFAIK when you have the ZO installed it disables the Maliview control - you cannot have both at once and choose - you have to disable the ZO to use the Maliview cruise. The Maliview shows the current speed etc but you have to set it manually in the ZO.

Someone did suggest you can choose in the later Maliview's but I am not sure about that.

Not yet although have looked into gates. Just wedge, ballast and/or people right now.

We ski so its not a biggie for us - surfing is a #3 in the priority list

Interesting, as I only have Maliview, Can’t test out for you with my Version of Firmware.

On a side note, did you do the Firmware Update??

I asked Malibu what version was latest as you suggested and they advised based on my HIN. I've updated it to their recommended version without any problems.

I am still stumped though haha. Trick ski or barefoot?

Barefoot - after a few of your #2 we might give the trick ski a bash

LOl.....Barefoot all the way!!! As JB-FOOT and I always allude to, the TMC can always use some good entertainment.

Especially after Number 2

And as you know, I always accommodate the crew each season too..lol

There is some talk between the grommets they are going to try the idea of ski on 50 different things in one day (they'll be lucky to do a few I think...) - that should generate a few laughs and hopefully no trips to the hospital !!! I hear esky's, kitchen equipment and picnic tables being mentioned a lot

[justgary]

That sounds fun. I'm not sure which kitchen equipment will float, but that's not really a requirement.

Time to make a list....

I believe baking trays - I'm not sure they've thought that one through ..... [emoji33]

Never tried chairs on a hydro slide ( yes I have to admit I remember them ) but have done the old standing on a chair on a disc routine ....

Baking sheets would work. I was picturing a very large kettle spoon.

Get bold. Use cutlery.

After a few #2's, piece of plywood, a wood latter, and a friendly bet between friends on who can get the latter setup on the plywood and climb to the top!

That sounds like a plan ... Grommets are into it ....[emoji2]

We don't have wooden ladders much here so that's a catch with that one ....

Might try skiing on a pallet though ...

Let you know - up there tomorrow !!!
