@ski6jones which model do you have?

Eagle; but it is getting old and I will replace it in the winter. Not sure with what yet, kind of leaning towards a Stokes.

@Brooks I would also be interested in a 65" if you made one.

Thanks for all the advise everyone. I think I am going to try the Camaro top. It sounds like I will not be disappointed!

@pgmoore I am also a fellow Canuck water skier and looking at the Blacktec top. I am interested in the Camero. Is it difficult to take on and off? Does it ride up on you from the bottom? Any advise on fit or longevity would be greaty appreciated. Thanks!

@C5Quest I have skied a 66” Lithium in the past. Tried all sorts of different Fin and binding setting. I just couldn’t get it to turn. I am not sure if it is the length, flex or just generally improving my overall technique which allows me to run a shorter ski with more success. I have never had issues in the past generating speed so the shorter ski has allowed me to turn with more ease. I have always read to ski the longest ski possible that you can turn. Through trial and error it is a 65”. I am glad you are having success with your ski. It is great to hear people improving their slalom skiing and loving the sport at the same time. I wish you nothing but the most success this season!

@C5Quest I am using long and shallow. My ski size is a 65”. I am about 5’8” 142lbs. Yes it is a great ski. I previously had a 2017 65” Pro Build and I am enjoying this one more.

6th set on my 2018 Pro Build and I ran a 3 buoy PB. The people at Radar have created a wonderful ski. I would always get hung up at 4@32 in the past; on my 2018 I ran the pass on my second attempt. I hope this trend continues!! The fin and binding are stock.

I have a Pro Build and mine started doing the same thing. I contacted radar and they handled the situation right away. It was all taken care of in less than 4 hours from my initial email. So easy to deal with; they will make it right!

Thanks for the responses, I appreciate it!

@eddie_roberts_jr Is there any advantage of going to a smaller ski?

@eddie_roberts_jr Skied a 66" Vapor Lithium this past summer. Going to upgrade to the Pro next summer. I am currently 5'8" and fluctuate between 138-142 lbs in the summer. I ski 28 off regularly @36mph. Would you recommend sticking with the 66" or would it be beneficial to go down to a 65"? Thanks!

@richfoster Thanks!

I recently purchased a Blacktec 2.0 and skied in 54 water today. Toasty warm the whole set. Would have done a second if I had more time.

@richfoster I am about the same size, I am 5'8" and about 145lbs. If you make the change to a smaller ski I would be interested on hearing how your transition goes. Please share!

@richfoster how tall and how much do you weigh? I have had the same thoughts lately. I am also on a 66" 2016 Lithium.

@Andre Yes, they shipped USPS which converts to Canada Post once it hits the border. I got the chance to wear it this morning for the first time. WOW! Water was 52, air was 50 and I was in the water for about 30 minutes. My hands and feet were starting to get cold but my body was warm. Literally my skin was warm to the touch when I took it off. I think this suit just extended my season in the fall and I will be able to start earlier than normal in the spring. I am really pleased with the product. Highly recommend! Thanks for the recommendation of being careful putting on and off; it does feel fragile but totally worth the extra couple minutes to stay warm. Sorry to hear about your Achilles. Injuries are never fun; especially when our season is fairly short as it is. Kill it next season when you are healthy!

@Andre I just received my suit this afternoon, I have not had a chance to wear it yet though because it has been pouring rain here all day. I originally called Perf to get a suit, unfortunately they did not have my size in stock. I ended up ordering from Robby's Ski Shop in California. The cost of the suit was $199 US and $30 US shipping. I was not charged anything extra for taxes or duty at the border. The total cost in Canadian dollars was $311 CDN. Robby's Ski Shop was excellent to deal with as they shipped the product the same day I ordered. The suit was ordered on Sept. 17 and arrived in my mailbox on Sept. 23. Very fast and efficient service; I am extremely satisfied. Hope this helps!

58 degree air and 57 degree water (still trying to stretch our season in Canada), I had to order a suit. After reading numerous BOS reviews I went with the Camaro 2.0 Black Tec. Still sitting in customs; I hope it gets cleared soon!
