There are four "corner-stones" for becoming a proficient competitive water skier, excellent Technique, Physical Strength, Mental Toughness and Equipment. Over the years, I have concentrated on building water skis and boots that will give skiers an equipment advantage.

Last year, I participated in several "Big Dawg" events and I was impressed how the top competitors are so physically "strong". At one event, the Diablo Shores Pro/Am, I found myself the fourth seed in the head-to-head round of 8. I went out and beat my opponent and when coming back to the dock I was told, "Dave, guess what? You are up again, right now!". I was so physically fatigued that I did not make my next opening pass.

When I returned home after that event, I was feeling a bit tired, but good. I woke up the next morning still feeling good and then, about 15 minutes later, I am on the kitchen floor with my back in muscle spasms! I have heard many firsthand stories of skiers suffering from sore backs but really never had back problems before in my life. Over the next 6 months, I read everything I could on backs and back rehabilitation. During that time, I could not bend over to tie my shoes! Three MRI's and $3,500.00 later, I realized that I if I wanted to continue to ski I would have to reduce the repetitive load on my upper body and back.

During that time, I began to analyze the forces of water skiing and how they relate to your body. In order to exert pressure to your ski, a skier must hold on to the rope handle and transfer load forces in excess of 600 lbs. through the fingers, to the wrist, to the elbow, to the shoulder, down through the entire back, to the hips, to the knees, to the ankles, to the boots and finally to your ski. I knew that there was a better way to to get pressure to your ski and be able to reduce the load forces to the upper body and back - I am pleased to introduce the GOODE PowerVest^TM System.

GOODE PowerVest^TM System Features

The GOODE PowerVest^TM System features PowerGrip^TM Gloves, Power-Straps, a Load Distribution Panel which is attached to the Power Waist-Belt and a Vest to hold everything together and provide floatation.  The PowerVest^TM reduces load to your back in a similar fashion to that of a hiking backpack . You want to carry the load (or weight) on your hips, not your upper body and back.

The various components of the PowerVest^TM  are shown in the following photos. To transfer pressure to your ski, when using the PowerVest^TM, the PowerGrip^TM Gloves grasp the ski handle with an over center leverage strap device that is similarly used by Olympic gymnasts on the high-bar.  The load force then travels up  the PowerStraps, which attach to the gloves at the wrist, and then run under the arm and attach to the top of the Load Distribution Panel. The Load Distribution Panel fits inside of an internal padded pouch and covers most of the PowerVest^TM back area. The bottom of the Load Distribution Panel is attached to the PowerWaist Belt which is fastened around your hips. When the PowerVest^TM  is in use, it transfers most all of the skiing force loads from the ski handle directly to your hips.

GOODE PowerVest^TM System Benefits

By reducing excessive load forces to your upper body and back, the PowerVest^TM reduces muscle fatigue, reduces the repetitive compressive load on your back and increases your strength and endurance.

When using the PowerVest^TM, you will be able to ski more passes in a set, with more strength than ever thought possible. Most skiers will ski 6 to 8 passes in a set. When wearing the PowerVest^TM, I will often ski 16 - 18 passes in a set, up to as many as 24 passes, with NO upper body fatigue!  Being able to ski more passes allows me more training time to work on technique, ski testing and ski set-up.

The PowerVest^TM also allows you to ski stronger. I have found that I can ski a more powerful technique which allows me to develop more angle and more cross-course speed, allowing me to arrive earlier at the next buoy.

The GOODE PowerVest^TM System has helped me run more 38' offs in tournaments so far this year than in any other year of my skiing career. Let the GOODE PowerVest^TM System help take your skiing to the next level!

Thank you for choosing GOODE!
