Baller gt2003 Posted November 29, 2014 Baller Share Posted November 29, 2014 I just got my boat this year. I found a new 2014, blem O'Brien synchro with XXL bindings for a really good price for me. My foot size 13DD. So, not many non-mutants can ride it. I also have a pair of HO ski's for those who just want to double ski or are learning on slalom. They have the Velcro type bindings. I'd like to have a decent ski in the boat for those that slalom and want to ski. These are generally fellow boaters who have something like Baja's or Scarab type boats. I've found a Radar theory with "regular" sized front binding and RTP for $299. I'm thinking this is a pretty good deal Heck, If I like it I can switch my bindings to the theory and let the visitors ski on the synchro. Any thoughts? I'm also considering buying an older slalom (Jobe honeycomb/Connelly concept) but dang, with the price of quality older skis and the advancements that I'm hearing about, the Theory seems like a pretty good deal. Bring on the recommendations. I'd like to spend less than $300 and preferably closer to $150, lol, since it will be a "visitors" ski for the most part.

TylerR Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 The theory is a good deal. I've got an old world team at my place for newbies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller DonT Posted November 29, 2014 Baller Share Posted November 29, 2014 The Theory is a great ski - wide enough for most people to get up on - yet still has a decent performance level. Either that or look for a Radar P-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted November 29, 2014 Baller_ Share Posted November 29, 2014 I keep a Connelly Concept for that reason, although I bought an Connelly Aspect to ski on at slow speeds this winter and will use it as a guest ski this summer if needed.

Baller SkiJay Posted November 29, 2014 Baller Share Posted November 29, 2014 My newbie guest ski is a big 68" Radar Theory with size medium Radar Vectors on it. It works great for a wide range of weights and abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller eddie_roberts_jr Posted November 29, 2014 Baller Share Posted November 29, 2014 Thanks Jay, The Theory is my go to ski as well. Seems to work for everybody. I have a 67 and a 69". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BRY Posted November 29, 2014 Baller Share Posted November 29, 2014 I have an old Icon Power Carve for visitors. Great ski, easy to get up on, stable for never-ever's yet can run buoy's easily at less than max speed. Here's one cheap: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-water-sport/calgary/icon-power-carve-slalom-ski/1001416492 Sell the Fogman's, slap a decent adjustable with RTP good to go.

Baller davemac Posted November 29, 2014 Baller Share Posted November 29, 2014 My "boat guests" are a bit spoiled....67" Radar Senate w/ Std Vector boot and RTP. I also keep one of those deep V training handles on the boat. Actually got a newbie up on his first try this summer (then told him it was 90% driver) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted November 29, 2014 Baller Share Posted November 29, 2014 My boat guests get their choice of whatever we have. Senate, p6 or ho combos. The skis are all 67s so it might be nice to have a "girl" ski available, but so far most of the kids want to use one of the wakeboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
