Jhulslander Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I'm looking for tips on a new ski, current ski is 67" Radar Theory. I am 5'8 190 lbs, freeskiing at 15' off 32-33mph (no course). I tried a friends 67" Carbon V and liked it, I would say I'm looking for faster turns and more speed across the wake. The Theory just feels slow after trying the Carbon V. I'm not against buying a Carbon V, just not sure if its more than I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gt2003 Posted March 30, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 30, 2017 If you'd like to stay with Radar you can go up to an Alloy, Carbon, Lithium or ProBuild Vapor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dabeej20 Posted March 30, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 30, 2017 I just went from a 2015 theory to a 2017 senate graphite. I have been in the course for about 10 sets and have completed 15 off at 30mph. The senate is so much faster and I expect to be on it for a couple years as I work up the rope at 34mph. I am not an expert and I'm sure others will chime in with their expertise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ColeGiacopuzzi Posted March 30, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 30, 2017 @Jhulslander I agree with @dabeej20 the Senate would be the next ski I would go to, The graphite would be a great choice. Its 2 inches wider than the vapor which gives you stability but faster than the theory for sure; It's definitely a ski you can grow into.

mikegile Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 +1 for Senate. Similar to Vapor but a bit wider, perfect for the speed you are skiing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller eddie_roberts_jr Posted March 30, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 30, 2017 I think Cole meant to say the Senate is .2" wider than the same size Vapor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhulslander Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Thanks guys, graphite or alloy senate was where I headed. But should I pass up a $700 carbon v with double shadow boots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ColeGiacopuzzi Posted March 31, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 31, 2017 Yes exactly good catch, my fault. @eddie_roberts_jr thank you! Radar Skis Follow Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
