Administrators Horton Posted April 5 Administrators Share Posted April 5 @NoahVieke Good catch on the NRG. I think the Platinum is no longer available in the US. See KD USA site https://www.kdwatersportsusa.com/collections/slalom-skis It is still on the international site https://www.kdwatersports.com/collections/mens/products/platinum-slalom-waterski It is a very good ski but understand it is no longer in production. @DW ok that is funny.

Administrators Horton Posted April 5 Administrators Share Posted April 5 @BraceMaker To the best of my knowledge, Sans Rival has not made skis in over 10 years. That would be fun list - modern era, very small, interesting, defunct ski companies.

Baller 75Tique Posted April 5 Baller Share Posted April 5 I am about as far away from being a pro skier as you can get, so keep that in mind as you read this. Lots of times on this and other (less consequential) forums, mostly rookies will ask what is the "best ski" There are always a hundred posts suggesting the responders' opinions. In my very rookie opinion, all those skis Horton listed are probably great and of comparable quality. Choice comes down to user preference and comfort and what works best for him/her. All that being worth exactly what you paid for it, I found this comparison interesting tho understand it really boils down to who is on whose team Obviously D3 and Goode have an edge. https://www.waterskiprotour.com/ski-brand-leaderboard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller BraceMaker Posted April 5 Baller Share Posted April 5 @Mastercrafter something the syndicate team seemed to have done well this summer was support the European events, which of course was probably hard on the ranking of some of the people who didn't.

Administrators Horton Posted April 5 Administrators Share Posted April 5 @NoahVieke why don't I just listen to you? KD just told me that the Platinum is in fact still a current ski.

Baller RAWSki Posted April 7 Baller Share Posted April 7 Anyone know much about the SP Skis out of Cyprus? He has 3 slalom models now as well as a Trick and Jump skis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Luzz Posted April 7 Baller Share Posted April 7 @Horton yep, it's a Syndicate model and it shreds! I have had a lot of success with skier that are in between size of skis. The classic is 65" Omega Max instead of 66" else. Skiers love that little extra width at the front while maintaining the easy turns of a shorter ski. 2 Ski coach at Jolly Ski, Organizer of the San Gervasio Pro Am (2023 Promo and others), Co-Organizer of the Jolly Clinics.

Administrators Horton Posted April 7 Administrators Share Posted April 7 @RAWSki It is a small company. Might be just the one guy whose name escapes and I think it is Greek so I can't pronounce it anyway. The quality of the skis is really good. I have an R&D SP Bronco. I like it a lot. 1 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...

He has 3 slalom models now as well as a Trick and Jump skis. My ski partner / friend / colleague / Senior Worlds King, Genadi Guralia skis on a 68" Bronco to great effect. Bronco is a continuous rocker, deep concave ski. I know Genadi and Savvas Panteli (SP, the owner and designer) have been working on a rendition of the Bronco. Also, off topic, they have some really cool trick skis 1 1 Ski coach at Jolly Ski, Organizer of the San Gervasio Pro Am (2023 Promo and others), Co-Organizer of the Jolly Clinics.
