Down to $500, someone just get this thing out of my closet and back on the water.

can't figure out how to edit the main post. will take almost any offer for this thing just trying to clear out stuff.

Incredible ski but too much for me. Used for 1 season then have been doing more free skiing and not been in a course the past 2 years so switched to something less aggressive and this has just been sitting in the closet. It has a chip on the nose from a handle pop that might need to be repaired. Will add pictures this week. Also have an R type rear boot available. ski and boot for $1000 obo

This ski is a crazy rocket ship for a much better skier than myself. ski's for 1 winter in Florida. Has a small chip in the finish that needs a little epoxy/repair on the tip from a handle pop. Located in New York. Looking for $900 shipped. Photos: https://ibb.co/gg8R5xf https://ibb.co/mBcCYrW https://ibb.co/ZGghH69

I'm on a zen origin. probably way more ski than required for my skill level, its an absolute rocket ship, amazingly responsive, ridiculous acceleration and edge to edge transition speed, still trying to figure out how to not overdo it all the time and spend less time skipping across the water on my face. I love it but kinda feels like a formula 1 car being driven by someone with barely enough skill for a power wheels barbie jeep.

Can a regular reusable paintball style air bottle be used, or does anyone else know of an adapter being made? Could I stick a small garage style air compressor w tank or larger reusable tank under my passenger seat and run a hose and splitter up to this?

I'm at Stony in the kawarthas with my Nautique 196 until labor day. Looking for people to ski with,if you are on the lake or nearby dm me!

Reflex Zen Origin w supershell & r type on the back. Been in florida skiing all winter and very quickly discovered it is probably way too much ski for my complete lack of skill and first year with hardshells, but loving it so far, this ski is a rocket.

Damn this thing looks so great for skiing somewhere without a permanent course. Now the tough decision what to get first, this or upgrade PP to stargazer/zbox

The miami nautique neoprene sleeve has a shoulder strap and fin protector

Nice buy and lots of good info on this thread, thanks and congrats. I just bought a 2001 196 also.

I got a spare supershell velcro strap and used some wetsuit repair glue to stick it around the top of my R type low liner and seems to be working well so far. It has stayed on through a couple releases on not so pleasant falls.

On Stony lake often and planning to be there for the whole summer this year. Got into it after the Clear lake Bryson Bay course was already gone but if anyone on one of the nearby kawartha lakes has a course would love to come for laps or even better if there are enough people to make it worthwhile and help set up on Stony I would gladly get a portable course for this summer.
