what about the z7 vs the wide ride?
-
scarlet i was having exactly the same thoughts. Are there any other skis out there is should be looking at? tried the A1, enjoyed it tho in the rough and my off side turn i had to bend my knees alot more than i had to compared to my x5, into the first wake it felt awesome, could get used to it tho i believe the z7 is more forgiving.

trying to decide between these two. Looking @ the 65" z7 or the 65.75" 145 Amp 9900 I run the occasional 32 off but mainly getting 4 @ 32.I am currently skiing on a 2006 x5 65". What do you guys recommend? from what i have read the z7 will be more forgiving, tho i dont know to much about the goode. In the rough will the z7 be easier to ski on? Should i be looking at the wide ride or another ski? I am unfortunately unable to try any skis. As i live in South Africa and shipping would be a killer if i were to ship each ski. Thanks in advance

to the guys using double reflex boots, do you find you often hit the back shin on the front release?? I have the reflex boot on my trick and i do manage to hit my shin tho no that often.

Will try uping my speed this weekend. The main problem with my flip is my rotation. I land with the ski very on edge, not coming down flat. Also tend to crunch my knees thus makin landings not to pleasent. Just watched a vid on you tube and they said i need to push most of my weight on the front foot into the wake. Regarding max speed. I did 65km/h about a year ago. Ski actually turned real smooth haha.. Tried a side slide And it was ok. Then pulled out softly and let go, shot off for about 60m.

according to my father who is a multi-time national sail boat champion, the shape of a fin on a yacht is very very import, it has to be specially foiled or you get cavitation.

will do buddy! report back at end of weekend

I was just wondering what every one else is tricking at. I understand its a personal preference, and every one is different though i notice that the videos i watch on you tube the guys seem to be going much faster. I am currently skiing behind a 206 at 28km/h. I weigh 65kgs. Should i be going faster? Will i be able to get more hight when doing flips by going faster?

I have been wondering why are slalom ski fins flat? If you look at any other form of technology they have an aero dynamic shape. For example the wings on a plane, they are designed to move through the air with as little resistance as possible. So surely we should have fins with some sort of shaped fin similar to a keel on a yacht or something along those lines?

thanks for your help guys, looks like i'm going to get the z7, can't wait =)

cant demo any skis =(,, im currently on the 2006 65" D3 X5, have tried the A1 enjoyed the angle that it had out of the bouy, would u suggest upgrading to the z7 or A1? whats the z7 like in the rough?? Will i be able to get it a widder with it? tho that is probably technique not the ski...
-
jdarwin how would u compare the z7 to an x5?
-
The shipping is going to cost 300 us dollars. So its out of the question. Is the z7 alot faster than the x5 and whats it like in the rough?I liked the a1 for its angle out of the bouy.
-
I understand that by buying a new ski i am not going to get 6 balls. Though i was just wondering if there is much difference between the 06 x5 and the z7
-
the problem is that i live in South Africa. So the only way for me to try other skis is to ski on other people skis. I have tried the HO A1, i really enjoyed it though only had 2 sets.
-
I am currently skiing on 2006 D3 Custom x5, 65". I run the occasional 32 off. But battle with it. I am looking to upgrade the z7. Is it worth the upgrade to the z7 or should i be looking at different ski. Thanks
