Administrators Horton Posted May 1, 2023 Administrators Share Posted May 1, 2023 Reviewing a ski after only one ride is a bad idea for many reasons but if I can only get one ride on one of the most interesting skis in the sport I will take it. After an unusually cold and rainy winter in California, I have not skied much yet this year. Only a week ago did I start going off the dock at 32 and running 35 with confidence. On the LP1 LP2, I went off the dock at 32. As expected the first pass was not perfect but for a first pass on a new ski it was better than average. The ride got better from there. I ran four 32s and then shortened to 35. I fell at 6 ball on the second 35 but only because I was super early and was screwing around a little exploring where I could stand on the ski. The LaPoint LP1 LP2 is simply easy to ride. It is both fast and stable. It runs an early line and then turns as hard as you want it to. Rarely are skis both high-performance and unquirky. My one ride impression is that this ski is VERY good. I might have to think about how to embezzle some money and get one without my wife knowing it. 4 Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes ★ Baller Video Coaching System Drop a dime in the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted May 1, 2023 Baller Share Posted May 1, 2023 (edited) 🤣 🤣🤣 Liking mine so far. Water is only 52 F this early in the season and at 32mph is solid feeling. Edited May 1, 2023 by thager 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ The_MS Posted May 1, 2023 Baller_ Share Posted May 1, 2023 Same story from most people I know that have tried it. Very good friendly ski to hop on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BS74 Posted May 1, 2023 Baller Share Posted May 1, 2023 Is there a difference between a LP1 and LP2? Any thoughts at 30mph? I don't believe there is any demo option, correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted May 1, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted May 1, 2023 Is there an LP2? I am not sure but I think there is just the one ski. I know the ski has evolved in the last year but am unaware of a new model name. The ski I rode had a LP1 logo and the the website talks about LP1. https://lapointskis.com/waterskis Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes ★ Baller Video Coaching System Drop a dime in the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ lpskier Posted May 2, 2023 Baller_ Share Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) The new version has a narrower sidewall profile in the front of the ski. I don’t know if one is regarded as “better” than the other. @liquid d has tried them both and he prefers the LP1.

Administrators Horton Posted May 2, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted May 2, 2023 CORRECTION: apparently the ski I rode was in fact the LP2. Compared to the LP1, the LP2 has a thinner sidewall profile, refined flex pattern as well as modified fin allowing for a different wing position.

Just FYI for clarity, your post title says LP2 but your review text still says LP1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Cent Posted 13 hours ago Baller Share Posted 13 hours ago My LaPoint LP1 was built for me by Kris once he got all the relevant information from me. Weight, ski speed, binding type and brand, line length etc. very impressive ski. It simply works forecasters intended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
