First, I’m not named Adam. I took my first two sets on the ski today, sets 7 and 8 for the season. The ski rips, it’s that simple.
I skied the C75 and that thing was a blast, I could get away with crap like no other ski and run passes I shouldn’t have. I still won’t sell it. The C85 was a smoother and more refined ski. I actually skied both in one set, running pass number 8 on the C85 and smoother was the appropriate description. I posted on BoS that the C85 felt like I bought a new offside turn. It did take some binding and fin adjustment to find the best spot, but all felt good.
If I had to describe the C95, the often used term of “less work” seems most appropriate. This feels like I kept the offside I got on the C85, improved it, and now I have picked up a much better onside. I don’t feel the need to tweak the bindings or the fin, but won’t hesitate to do so if either Adam recommends it. The space coming from an onside turn was awesome, but it also felt easier to create space from my offside lean.
On the first set, I topped what I put up on the C85 this season by a buoy. On the second set, I wasn’t even thinking about the ski, I just went and skied great. My wife commented after the fist set that she thinks I’m going to be very happy with the ski just from watching from shore. I trust her judgement.
Some guy on the dock asked about the ski, and started to pick it up. Most of you would understand if I throat punched him, but a court of law may not. I quickly and politely put a stop to it with no need for law enforcement. The next time may be different.
