@Than_Bogan Thanks for posting that, and your comments. Saturday was my 1st time out in the new c-65, open water 28 off @34mph. I was being pretty tentative, just trying to figure it out. It was also a bit windy out, so definitely not pushing it at all. Went out this morning with the wife for session 2, in very calm conditions, still open water. I gradually stopped pussy footing around, and quickly figured out that the faster I went into a turn, the better the ski responded! The best way to describe it is like a very good racecar with tons if downfirce, where speed into a turn gives more grip than going in slow. It's an amazing feeling, and I think Cale's and your comments helped make it click for me!
