  1. I also had issues with the new Xmax bindings. They were not lasting for a full season and the newest ones I could hardly ski in. I made the switch to hardshell (new Reflex black shell and Rstyle rear). It took about 6 sets and I am running equivalent to where I was before. They mounted to my Syndicate Pro 2017 without issue. I had tried the Animal bindings but your feet have the opportunity to move so much more than they did in the xMax and it made it nearly impossible to ski.
  2. DangerBoy… I would take my odds on that bet any day. I feel quite confident the C-75 ski will cause current records to fall soon. I am also confident the ski will help many elite skiers break new records of their own!
  3. As a new to the sport skier I have worked hard to receiving the best coaching and advise as possible which is why I travel to Trophy Lakes on a regular basis to ski with Adam Caldwell. Not only is he an amazing skier but his coaching and understanding of the sport goes beyond anything I have seen or heard anywhere. This last trip I had the rare opportunity to see Adam run 10 of the 10 -39 off passes he attempted as well as 5 of the 6 -41 passes he attempted . This isn't a pass someone runs by luck it can only be ran by an incredible skier with the right equipment. That right equipment is definitely his Denali C-75 ski. That ski is designed with the deepest knowledge and understanding of the sport out there and the evidence of that understanding is through the skiers performance on the ski. In addition to Adam skiing on the new Denali I saw a range of other skiers ski incredible passes off the dock on the Denali C-75ski. Adam Cord and Adam Caldwell are not building a ski to sell as many as possible, they are truly building a ski to be the best performing ski avaliable today. They are not satisfied with good enough they want to ensure the ski's performance is unsurpassed and after what I saw this past week they are there. Not only will the ski perform at levels beyond what any of us have experienced previously the support and feedback that Adam and Adam will provide to their clients will be unsurpassed. I was "all in" for Adam's knowledge and understanding when I switched out the standard HO fin for the Denali fin back in November on my 2018 Syndicate Pro. By making that switch I picked up 3 buoys in the offseason. I swore my next ski would be the new HO Alpha but instead it will clearly be a Denali C-75. Once I have it in hand I'm confident I will have more things to post and praise about the ski and what it did for my skiing. Thanks Adam and Adam, keep up the amazing work to keep pushing this sport forward.
  4. Can someone please tell me the best option for verifying the turn ball distance is correct on each of the turn balls in our course? Obviously surveying is an option but I am hoping there is a simpler way of doing this. Any advise would be great!
  5. We did the U Shaped ski for our daughter at nearly 3 yrs old. We started on grass and then progressed to running with her across a few inch deep water with people on both sides of her to make sure she didn't fall. She absolutely loved it so the next step was me getting up on 2 skies and her in the middle when I got up. It was a great progression!
  6. If anyone is looking for an amazing place to ski check out Trophy Lakes in Charleston, SC. Not only is it an amazing ski lake the coaching from Adam is above and beyond. He continually takes people to new levels and advances their capabilities and understanding of the sport without ever making you feel incapable. I've skied here at least once a year for the last few years and will continue to figure out ways to ski here a couple times a year! I highly recommend you add this stop to your ski places and trips for the future!
  7. Call Bobby Pine at LTS wakeboard and water skiing he can set you up for pulls inside or outside the course for early season skiing!! He is amazing, lake has great conditions and way more laid back than some of the other locations mentioned in this thread
