Denali, Pineapple or LaPoint?

[Octopus_Paxarbolis]

If you could have one for next season which one would it be?

[Dano]

Pineapple, will be the next ski I buy.

[jjackkrash]

The LaPoint's get a lot of love at our lake. 

[Mastercrafter]

I like where this is going.

Can't say enough nice things about my 67" LP1! I was worried it would be too small for me at Men 7 speed as I am 6' 194 lbs.,  but it has taken me through rope lengths I haven't managed in years. Enjoy!

I would try all 3

[Horton]

I have ridden the LP2 and the Parsons. I really like them both a lot. I expect to review a Denali in the spring. The small brands are putting out VERY good stuff right now.

[jcwaterskiparadise]

Horton, what's your numbers on the LP2? I get my hands on one 66", this summer but didn't take  the time to properly try it...

[Horton]

@jcwaterskiparadise

IDK - KLP set it up for me and I only got to ride it once. It left a very good impression.

What was the fin number for Pineapple when you run 38 ?

[Horton]

@FunoRyota

6.960 2.460 .760 29.75 ( Radar vapor boot )

if it doesn't feel quite right, I recommend exploring forwards and backwards with your boots just a little bit at a time

[DW]

@Octopus_Paxarbolis - my answer, I don't know until I try each one.  As you peruse various forums here you will notice the theme of try before you buy.  These $2k+ little addictive toys all have their own personalities and each of us will lean towards different favorites, just like GF's / BF's:-)

In two words - all 3.

what size is your pineapple? 

[Horton]

I think it's the 67 but I'd have to ask. 

[Horton]

@FunoRyota 67

[FunoRyota]

Thank you!

Denali for me. I'm currently on the c75. I'm eyeing the c95 after the new year.

@o2bnMaine

Need video of your first set on 95

Too late! I demo'd one of the prototypes in mid/late September. It was a medium, which might have been a little big for me. Still, I got 4@35 (tied my PB). The ski was amazing, in my opinion. I didn't have to work as hard but got tons of angle.

I will try to remember to get a video though when I get my hands on the production ski. Maybe I'll take the time to do a comparison video like the one I did with Chris and me skiing on top of each other!

[Horton]

@o2bnMaine you ran equal to BP in the first ride or two? 

[skihacker]

HE EQUALED HIS PB AND DIDN'T BRING IT HOME!!! Sorry I'm still a little screwed up by this, sigh....

I'm hoping to get another go on a production model this winter.

@o2bnMaine

I don't know man. I've never banned somebody for something like this, but we might have to vote on it. If you don't buy a new C95 ASAP, you might be not just banned from this website but from all of water skiing.

[skihacker]

@Horton you can't ban him he's one of my favorite cold weather it might rain it might be too windy but screw it we're going skiing anyway drivers. You understand,

[Horton]

@skihacker then you need to wrestle the credit card from MRS @o2bnMaine and order him a C95.  Otherwise his days are numbered.

Sounds like our pot luck get-together tomorrow is going to be very entertaining!

I'm really going to be in trouble when I admit that I even demo'd the c85 in 2022 ... that's where I got my 4@35 PB. I didn't buy that one either... my wife bought one though!
