  2. My wife and me did this tour in 2018 its a no brainer to do it.. Exceptional value. Friendly waterski clubs Fantastic food Well organised Exceptional ski conditions There was absolutely no part of this trip that dissapointed me. Thomas is a true travel and water ski professional. I totally recommend this trip if you like waterskiing and are slightly interested in seeing a side of Italy you wont get from a normal tourist perspective.
  3. My wife and me went last year It was the best holiday we ever had. Weather great, scenery spectacular, waterskiing world class, food and wine beyond splendid. Very relaxing as we did not have to think or organize anything. We would both do it again at the drop of a hat. On top of all that we went home to NZ summer to have our best season ever.
  4. Hi there guys Here’s an idea some of you might be able to expand on. We New Zealanders like to go skiing in other places around world We ski on a pretty nice spot in NZ and with a surveyed slalom course This late August we have a week spare probably up in Sacramento area and want to ski with some other passionate skiers Waterski nation started off with similar idea but there are a lot lakes not on the map. Thought I would put this idea up and see what happens Ideally a number of options come up and we could have a day at a few places On this trip we are with 2 other NZ couples all skiers and there are 6 of us Happy to pay or ski tow exchange
  5. Hi there I am in the Waikato 1.5 hours south of Auckland. I have mates in the South island. Do you have an itinary...will find you tows
  6. Thanks everybody that's commented. Makes me think I am on right track going back to 68.
  7. Hi I am on a 69.5 inch 2016 vapour and weigh 200 ponds and dropping. My 69.5 ski feels really good this week as I get ski fit. I use to ski on 68. I am considering an 68 inch Vapour probuild. I was wanting to start a discussion on ski lengths, vapour probuilds. How do you know if a ski is too long for you? Or too short for you?
  8. This is stuff we all know however we forget how lucky we are. Slalom skiers are great people and the passion shared by the individuals of this minority sport is off the scale.We were lucky enough to travel to California from New Zealand with a ski bag in tow. We were traveling to the Western USA for work reasons , not skiing which is our much loved hobby. Our Coach and Radar distributor in New Zealand contacted Radar as both Katrina and myself ski Radar to help us find a ski stop or two.Long story short. Radar asked Horton and we ended up skiing with John Horton 5 days in Bakersfield. Katrina really liked the wake on the Centurion. We ate authentic Mexican and loved it. Drunk to much and made life long friends. on our way to Vegas we stopped in on Horton seniors lake to see some Water skiing history. The first man made ski lake in the world. Thank you Duncan Hancock, Ball of Spray, Radar Ski's Centurion boats and Gordon Rathburn. We had a set with Bob Edie as well. John Horton's neighbor. Can't Thank everybody enough
