Baller Chef23 Posted August 4, 2009 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2009 I am looking at moving my son into a new ski for next season. He is 10 (still Boys 1 until next week) years old about 5' tall (just under) and weighs 120 pounds and is skiing into 30 mph at long line and running 15 off at slower speeds. He is skiing on an HO Odyssey right now which is 63" and I think he is ready to benefit from something that performs a little better than that. Next year he goes to 34 mph and we hope to get him up to speed pretty quickly as he grows.  I can get a good deal on a 2008 Radar Annex in 65" and I have been looking at some used skis (D3 X5, Nomad) in the 65-66" range that should hopefully carry him for several years. Any thoughts on the Annex for him or other suggestions. I want to keep it under $250 if I can.

Baller JohnN Posted August 4, 2009 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2009 Forget the waterskiing - sign him up for football :-).  I don't have experience with the Annex, but the RS-1 is pretty snappy and not as smooth as a D3.   The D3 skis seem to make the speed jump easier with their smooth turns and controllable speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibug Posted August 4, 2009 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2009 I would go with a D3 X5, great turning ski, very consistant, very comfortable right off the bat with plenty of speed at that age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted August 5, 2009 Author Baller Share Posted August 5, 2009 Thanks. I will focus on on an older X5. If anyone has a 65" X5 they want to let go at a good price let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
