Baller waterskigirl Posted July 1, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 1, 2014 Big... Demo both! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ski4xtc Posted July 1, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 1, 2014 In my opinion, the Helix is faster cross course and it even turns a little tighter and quicker than the Quest. I do think the Quest crosses the wakes a little better. Both of the skis are stable and excellent turning skis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller SkiJay Posted July 1, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 1, 2014 @isaacd3skis Both are more forgiving than most. The Quest is more forgiving than the Helix because it has bigger bevels and rides deeper in the water. Since the Helix rides higher, it is less work to accelerate and carries speed longer. I found the 66" Helix felt faster than even a 67" Quest. Both turn very well. I was told by D3 that skiers who demo both often pick the opposite ski that they expected to prefer, so demoing both is encouraged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ozski Posted July 1, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 1, 2014 Helix is faster and turns more aggressively so it depends on what you prefer, its not a huge step up the scale but a step never the less. I have both skis and currently nothing could convince me to go back to the Quest but its a very personal perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I5boi Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Ok. So now I'm confused. Looks like I need to demo both then do head to head with the winner and a vapor. Don't we have it good when our hard decisions in life revolve around a waterski? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaacd3skis Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 It sounds like whichever ski you are going to be on either a quest, helix or vapour... they are going to be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
