Hi, happy to be apart of the community I am a south african.
I started to get involved in slalom skiing, I have never done the sport before or used combo's. it's whole new learning experience for me.
Now the issue I am having is getting up and I am sure my technique is a big cause of this as I am still learning from a friend. When we went, we were only 3 people, 1 driver, 1 spotter and myself on the ski. Driver has decent experience pulling a ski.
Personal info.
Age- 23
Height- 1.76m/5.7ft
Weight- 98kg/216lbs
I have a strong athletic background. Athletics/cross country/Rugby/Golf/3 Gun Shooting.
Ski info.
HO 69 inch slalom
I have ordered a new set of combo ski's as well. Connelly Quantum 68 inch. I have also ordered a deep V ski rope
Is my boat underpowered?
It's a Expression TT 18ft (Locally manufactured boat) with an Evinrude Etec 115, Proppeller spec - Rebel 15x17 Pitch
The boat has an excellent holeshot, planes really fast with 5 to 7 people on the boat. Boat pulls my friend out of the water with 5 people in the boat with a slalom he weighs around 80Kg's. He is really good skier I might add.
I look forward to hearing from you.
