SDNAH2OSKIER

Hey guys. I started skiing again two summers ago (actually I ski year around now) but am 46 and have arthritis. I started on a Connelly mid S to minimize the pressure and fatigue of deep water starts but quickly bored on that and last summer bought a Connelly V which is a nice ski, nothing to really complain about but... I put a set of Enzo boots on the V and that did not work out for me, in fact I got pissed cause I couldnt get up on them, well certainly not the automatic ups that I am used to now. So I put the V on the platform but my ski buddy wouldnt let me in the boat. He threw me his 2011 Prophecy with Stokers and I popped up and had a great run. Now I am deeply in like with the prophecy and wanting that or something faster and more agile than the V. I checked out the new Prophecy and the HO S2 at my local shop, what else should I be looking at? I can ski my buddies prophecy any time and thought I should consider something else that we can both use. Thanks in advance, this is a great board, been lurking for a long time. Doug

Hey all. I am Looking for a new stick. I put a set of enzo's on my V and didnt like them at all and had a fit and tossed my ski up on the platform in discuss. My ski buddy, wouldnt let me on the boat and instead threw his 2011 prophecy in the water and told me to suck it up. I did, and fell in deep like with the prophecy. Granted there is one on the boat already, and consider I am a moderately aggressive freerider with some course time in my immediate future, the S2/A2 are considerations, any other suggestions? Great thread!

We ski in Mission Bay San Diego, thus my username, we constantly taunt one another about seeing sharks, though we,ve never seen one, but we do see lots of wildlife, my son was waiting to wakeboard when a large dolphin swam in front of the boat and was surfacing near the boat for a few minutes, my son (13) was unfazed. We see bat wing rays and seals and have to contend with some sea weed but we like to ski and take it in stride. I do admit that occasionally I see shadows below me and bark at the driver to get me up. : )
