Hey, I wasn't sure if I should post here or in technique, but here it goes. I'm an open water skier, but I want to learn the course. I've been skiing for about 4 years, but have progressed fairly well according to my in-laws who have been skiing forever. Unfortunately I have no video to show you where I'm at, and it's snowing here today so the water is still a month away. I've read a lot of threads about how to get the course done, less speed, bigger ski... But this is where my problem is. I'm 6'6" and 235. I'm currently riding a HO CFR Charger 69" with size 15 Attack boots and ride at 34MPH+ at 15off in the open water. It really feels like the ski drags any slower and since I'm going to try the course slow, I don't think this ski will work for me. I have a Radar combo set that are crazy wide and 69" so I might be able to use one of those, but then I think they wouldn't be enough to carve the course. I'm here for ski recommendations. I'm thinking Radar Theory, or P6? Are there any other skis I'm missing? I'll buy a used ski since after 6 weeks at the lake this summer I'll hopefully progress past everything I currently own, and don't want to spend a fortune on something that's going to be done after a season. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you! I just couldn't seem to track this info down.

Hey, I'm new to the site and generally to the sport, and I'm trying to find the progression of the records. Apparently my google-fu is weak, as I can only find info on the men's records since 2005. Does anyone have a breakdown of the record breaking runs? How long each stood, what ski and boat they were behind etc?

I've heard that the Vice has glow in the dark paint. Are okay with that? ;)

She'll never want you to see it, but this is an early season ski. Please ignore the slow guy before her. She starts at 1:22. http://vimeo.com/27102968
