Ski size for teenage girl

[andjules]

A girl who's been skiing with our group started to make a fair bit of progress towards the end of last summer, just about running the full course @ 28mph. As soon as she gets her off-side lean figured out, I expect she'll start picking up buoys fast. She just turned 16, athletic, 115lbs, probably still a little room to grow but not much. Wants a new ski, and wants to move to double boots, from an older O'brien Siege (can't recall if it's 63 or 65)

 

Lyric seems like a good choice. 65"?

Has anyone seen a closeout/deal on something else that might be appealing/fitting?

How tall is she?

 

She will likely put on 10 or 15 pounds in the next couple of years...not getting out of shape, just maturity. I would account for that.

Even still, if we imagine her increasing to 125lbs and her boat speed increasing to 32 or even 34, 65" is still the best length, no?

I'm no pro but when I spoke to a friend who is a pro and a coach about a ski for my daughter he recommended a 65" ski.

There is a ski now sitting in my boathouse..............just need to get her out on it now! :smiley:

65 sounds right

Wake house has a 2014 lyric on for $250. My wife has one and loves it. Can't beat it for the price

I am a demo guy for D3. I have a last years demos and I have an unopened 65 quest that I need to sell.
