@BKistler I am seeing something different in my neck of the woods.; at least in our little pocket of public lakes in northern Illinois. I noticed this trend maybe 5-6 years ago. While wakeboarding has been replace to a large degree by surfing, I definitely notice more people skiing than wakeboarding. Now, to be clear, I am not talking about people riding the latest versions of slalom skis behind late model ski tugs. I am talking about recreational skiers riding old skis behind runabouts. Kids included. Pretty common to see kids riding an old pair of combos fully bent over at the waist as they learn. Regardless, this group of people is not going to buy a TXI.
