You looking for one for permanent or temporary use? If temporary, I'll loan you mine. I think it is size L. I'm 6'0" 180. It got me through a herniated disc recovery. Been in closet since (just in case).

This is a great kid's ski: https://bit.ly/2H4Dkbv The ad is wrong. It is a 62" ski that has added width and skis even bigger than 62 would suggest. Was made from the ground up as a kid's ski and is a full graphite lay up. (Not my ad by the way) Also, you may want to contact Matt Rini and ask him. He is a great guy always willing to help get kid's going.

Rather than consider all of this, I am just going to wait for the Denali boot.

Thanks @ realestate2ski for posting that. I will need a resurfacing sooner than later and, most definitely, am apprehensive. Your positive story helps.

This very thread reminded me to get a checkup. Basal cell cancer removed. Wasn't keen on having holes cut in my face but, better sooner than later. Nice of you to use the difficult time you had to encourage others to avoid same.

About 10 years ago, Brian Kreis helped me for a little over a year. Those workouts have been the foundation for me ever since with some variation. The more I learned over the years, the more I recognized the wisdom and knowledge in the workouts he created. Really A+ stuff.

@Horton What setup #s? Thanks

I got a ski. Thanks y'all

Anybody have a lightly used one for sale for SIA price? PM me.

@aupatking My post was the most irrelevant and obscure post in BOS history. However, Lucinda has a song called "Joy" that mentions Slidell. She is from LA. I'm gonna go to slidell and look for my joy Go to slidell and look for my joy Maybe in slidell I'll find my joy Maybe in slidell I'll find my joy

I have a 2015 XT. Since the 15 model, I think they changed the ski a bit? What does "enhanced sidewall design" mean? What is different from my 15? I saw a Goode video wherein they referred to a different "sidecut". "Sidewall" and "sidecut" are not synonymous in my vocabulary. Thanks if you know and will share the specifics.

The real metaphysical mind blower is that in the 36 vid you were driving and skiing.

The second set of numbers posted by @Horton above are like a gift from God. 30.00" on the front boot for me but otherwise the best settings so far. I am posting this because all of the advise I was getting was to not go forward with the boots and that seemed to match what I was feeling. My own tinkering had me at 29.5 shallow long and back. When I tried to go forward with the boots to get my onside rounded out some, the ski would get sluggish. 30" + is, apparently, just another "zone" that works. 29.625 to 29.75 was a no man's land. Thanks @Horton

Thanks so much for the app Paul ! I suck at recording my setting changes cause I think I will remember...

Our public lake boat is a 1996 MC. Never had teak oil on the platform in over 20 years. Has held up great. Actually provides some grip for the skis.

First, the boy is smarter than I was when I was learning because he knows that OTF are not acceptable. He is much safer and much less likely to go OTF if he stays on edge white water to white water. Coming off edge is the danger zone. If he gets high sided out of the buoy such that maintaining an edge is not possible, bail. Because I dig it and like to post it when even remotely applicable, I offer the following video. Note how the kid is even on edge in the air. It is safer.

One of my favorite bits of advice from a coach: "Go down the lake until you start to panic and then go some more" Its the panic part that I can't handle. Don't like the glide either. The percentage of times that I nail the speed and turn in point is just too low. What if the gate turn in could be more like a two ball turn? The one hander solves so much for me. I abandoned it for over two years because I was coached to do so by people with superior knowledge. I just suck at the two hander. Physically, I do it better than I am describing but, mentally, I just can't get comfortable/confident with it. Benefits of the one hander for me: 1. The only decision I have to make is when to pull out. As soon as I hit the top of the arc it's time to turn. Kinda like two ball. If I am too upcourse or downcourse, adjust pullout mark. In fact, I do not even have to look at the gates...top of the arc dictates turn in. 2. Allows me to pull out 3/4 of a boat length later which helps with short setups. 3. There ain't a much of a glide so I eliminate that pesky element. 4. I am out there beside the boat for considerably less time so the wind doesn't have as long to work on me. 5. Just like a two ball turn, the speed window seems wider. I just don't have the feeling that I am not going the right speed despite some variation in speed. With the two hander, speed at turn in seems more critical. 6. I am a little bit wider by virtue of skiing away from the handle. 7. The line is tight when I hook up. 8. I am earlier to one ball, lighter on the ski getting there and the ski seems to roll out into the turn better. 9. I think I am turning in close to the same position (relative to the gates) that I was coached to do with the two hander... "until you start to panic and then go some more" 10. Last but certainly not least: no panic. Why do most coaches now dislike the one hander?

@FSSPCat The touch screen in the MC is the greatest thing in boating since Archimedes. Everybody needs one.

I can't help but post this when the question is asked. You have to help realign their thinking about the wakes.

The hand wave is merely to signal that we are still alive. OK=Still breathing

Don't be dissuaded by the lack of hype. Very good ski that should be top of list to demo. Fast stable and it turns.
