Thanks for the input everyone, much appreciated!
I'm probably inclined towards the lower side in regards to speed since high speed wipe outs are more difficult to recover from as I age, but I also face a bigger wake at lower speeds behind my boat, so there's that to consider as well. Regardless I don't see myself skiing below 30 because it just doesn't feel right no matter what ski I'm on.
Heading to the river for the weekend, and I think I'll ride my buddies Senate 69, but I'll put my bindings on it, since his are bigger and feel too sloppy for me to really push the ski. I think that will be enlightening.
Thanks again for the feedback. I'll keep an eye out for more and follow up as I learn more this weekend.
