I have to say that I don't like "one size fits all" rtp's, I tired a ho adjustable rtp with the bungee thing and even with the thing all the way loose I couldn't get my toes all the way to the front because of the elastic thing holding the front of it down. Go for a standard RTP in her correct size.

The red syndicate fin is the one that comes with the CoX sl, so your pro sho did not change it. In my opinion the color of a fin is not a reason to change it.

I am currently using an ho animal with an rtp on my ho system 8. Some people have said that they don't like those bindings because they feel like they don't have a lot of control over their ski with the animal. I have been free skiing for a while and just recently started to get in the course. The last couple of years I have only got in a course about 4 times a year but next year I plan to go to a ski school and get in the course a lot more often. I ski at 28 mph @-15 when I am in a course and have come very close to running it. I plan to greatly improve my skiing in the next few years by spending more time in the course with skiers that are better than I am. Another problem I have with the animals is that after wearing them for a while my feet start to hurt. Would getting new bindings be a good idea? if so what type? I have looked at radar vectors and ho animals, are those decent boots? Frank

@tfriess

The camaro impact vest is good

If he is going to be doing any deep waters you will want iron shorts also. They make them easier and you glide like butter

but barefoot international is the way to go

No I dont. sorry

@jdarwin my friend bought one at the malibu open in milwaukee

Just curious, does @Horton still use a carbon fin?

.

Thanks, do you have to be at nationals to get this discount or can you get it directly from d3?

I found a 43" 2008 d3 hardedge on ski it again for $500. He says that it has only been used a couple of times and looks new but he didn't post any pictures but I can ask him for pictures. Is $500 a good price for a 2008 and also is there any difference between the 2008 and the new ones? Should I buy this ski?

How much do you want for it

@tfriess, you know which one you are going to get?

yup tommy it sure does

Gatorade lid releasing hardshells? I have heard that before but I dont know how it works or what it looks like.

I ment does not have a homemade powervest.

@eleeski, I didn't know that you built your own skis but that is very cool. What materials and how do you shape your skis? Also, the only reason I said what I did above is that I know @tfriess and also know that he does now have a homemade powervest.

Ok thanks for all of your help.

@tfriess Might you humor us with a picture of this "home made powervest"

@tfriess you could also make your own ski for alot less but it would suck and you would probably hurt yourself. I feel like this is a similar situation.

I will be there. On the posters AM skis is listed as a sponsor so they might be there but Im not sure. Im looking forward to it!

Would the goodman chubby stubby be better than the slot for having one ski for everything?

@tfriess you would know
