@dave2ball Great point. No, they didn't specify anything around amount or size of reflective material. It could totally be a dot of spray reflective paint or a small dot sticker. We are in a fairly remote area and I doubt it will be checked/followed-up on. Thanks for the info @ToddL . That would likely work. I think the buoys come printed already with the brand name, so it has been done.

Someone on my lake complained about our local ski course. We had to go through an approval process with our government over the winter, and fortunately we received approval to have the course in the lake. The only catch is that they have asked us to mark a few specific buoys with something reflective. This is a fair ask, but marking soft rubber buoys doesn't seem practical. I'm looking for suggestions here. I have had 2 thoughts so far: 1. Reflective Stickers: easy to find and put on. Durability is likely very low and the stickers will probably fall off in the first year and pollute/litter the lake. Not to mention a scratch hazard for shins. 2. Reflective Paint: Rust-oleum makes a reflective spray paint, but I feel like this would just flake off into the lake and pollute. I also feel like it would get paint all over our skis and boots. Does anyone have experience making buoys reflective or have any suggestions for doing so? Thanks in advance.

Ok, got it. That would be an answer I'm looking for. Thank you!

I'm new to BOS. I recently started reading a bunch of forum posts as I'm in the market for a new ski, but I'm out of touch with the latest ski tech...so I'm severely under-educated here. I'm upgrading from an old 69" Connelly from 13 years ago. The ski is too long for me, and I didn't realize until I tried a friends ski (66"), that I have been working unnecessarily hard, and struggling, because of my ski. Apparently, if you have the right sized ski, it will do all of the work for you - night and day difference. Anyway, I've narrowed my choice down to 2 skis, and am looking for some info that I haven't been able to find on my own. The HO CX Superlite looks like it would be a good fit for me. But, I've noticed that there are some great deals on the different Syndicates from 2015 & 2016 for the same price. I have found info about each ski, but not much comparing the similarities and differences. Can anyone speak to the differences/similarities between the CX Superlite and any of the 2015/16 Syndicates? Other than price, why would you choose one over the other? Will the Syndicate make the course easier? Do they all fit the same boots?
