DooSPX Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 @jipster43, Why are you asking about the pink Strada? Is there something you are not telling us? HAHA! I will pay good money to see you on a pink Strada behind your blue S&S 190. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jipster43 Posted October 13, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 13, 2012 @DooSPX I'm forever ruined by the late 80's early 90's nostalgia! I've been loving skiing behind the S&S the past couple of weeks. Unfortunately she gets polished and put away tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ RichardDoane Posted October 20, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted October 20, 2012 @rico - try both a 67 and a 68 if you can, keep the one that feels best for your off-side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Mateo_Vargas Posted October 20, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 20, 2012 @rico I have pretty much the same stats as you and I say 68". In 2011 I rode the 67" but have been on the 2012 68" all this year. Haven't tried the 2013 yet but from what I've heard here I'll be on a 68" again.

Baller robscholl-OF Posted October 24, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 24, 2012 Okay, I got a new 2013 67" Orange Strada fresh off the press up at RadaR lake the other day. I came off my silver 67" Strada after Eddie said it was time for a "Fresh Ski." I was reluctant to get on a new ski as I had gone from just getting into -32 when I got it to running -35 and touching -38. Anyway got on the new ski and immediately noticed it was much smoother. I am a LFF so gates, 2 and 4 are always a struggle. Even though it was smoother, I did not feel like it glided as well as my silver Strada or accelerated as hard. What it did do was carry more speed through the turn and just rocked my off side. My on side became more of a struggle as the ski would not turn as hard. RD and I played with the fin moving it forward/back with not real difference. I ended up with the fin back in pretty much the stock location and just skiing. The more I rode it the more I realized that the ski was not really slower it just carried more speed through the turn by carving like on a rail so there was not the extreme speed accross the wake and slow down at the buoy. At the shorter line on my Silver Strada I would get a lot of slack on my turns because the ski would turn so hard causing me to take some big hits. I would really have to work to keep a tight line and not let the ski turn so hard to combat this. With the new Orange Strada, these hook turns are gone and my turns are smooth and tight with very little slack. I now find myself earlier at each ball but am still trying to figure out my gates as the new ski glides and turns in more gradual. My drivers have all commented how much smoother I feel and they are not feeling the big hits coming off the balls. So at this point I have to say I am pretty excited where this ski will take me next year. Goal is to get my average from 96 to up over 100.....OF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller rq0013 Posted November 5, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 5, 2012 Rode my 2013 strada tonight. 47 degree water and air temp. Love the ski, it felt so smooth. The ski turned easier and came underneath me a little quicker which put me in a better position after the turn. Going to try to ski tomrrow.

markchilcutt Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 TTT Any other ballers have some updates on how there new orange Strada is working out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rq0013 Posted February 6, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 6, 2013 Yes the strada is definitley faster but in a controlled way I think. I also thought it was softer feel, but from what I hear its the same or even a bit stiffer... idk. KC was saying it comes back underneath him quicker. As soon as the 16in of ice thaws I will be on mine again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
