    Night skiing

    @ski6jones I can’t imagine how fast that felt. I was able to ski within my average in the dark. All I did though was pull as hard as possible. Try to spot the ball. Make a turn and on to the next one. Was very challenging, but boy o boy the water was good every pass!!!

    For my bachelor party I just wanted to ski with my buddies and try to do something really cool. So we rented some lights and pulled off some night skiing. This is by far one of the coolest things I have ever done. Everyone should get an opportunity to do this in their life.

    2020 VAPOR

    I am amazed with the amount of people favoring their 16 over there 18/19’s. I just jumped from a 16 to an 18 and legitimately gained a pass and a half the first night out on it. My 16 is only a lithium, so potentially that has something to do with it, but I absolutely love the 18 and feel like an idiot for buying it 2 weeks before the 2020 was released.

    I just got a new to me 2018 vapor pro build and wow this thing is sweet. All the radar products have been so good to me, but this one is my favorite so far. I ran 36/28 once last year and have been fighting all year to get 3 or 4. I rode this ski for the first time last night and second set I was able to run it and even 2 at -32.

    I made the switch from a vector boot to a reflex this year for the same reasons.The first month I could still get the same buoys it was just uncomfortable for me. 3 months into the season and there is no way I would ever go back. I feel much safer and confident in my boot. FYI I am on the same ski as you and am about the same body type. Not sure if that means anything or not.

    ProStar: Teak vs Fiberglass Platform

    Teak. My brother has fiberglass and I have teak. I paid 630 bucks to have his repaired after backing into it lightly. A quarter size ding. With 50 bucks and 2 hours mine looks brand new. My looks better for one day after a new coat of oil, but his consistently looks better. I just don’t see how you won’t scratch a fiberglass one.

    State of the Sport

    I almost already hate myself. I’ve only been in the sport for 3 years and I complain if the wind is above 8mph. It’s understandable that there is a huge disconnect between a guy trying to figure out how to ski for the first time and his buddy that runs 22 off most days.
