Also, I believe Schnitz had a fin specifically for that ski as well. I want to say the fin setting was crazy, ridiculous: 7.5, 2.6 or 2.7. Dft didn't matter.
Quickest off the buoy and side to side speed are entirely two different things. I believe some of the old fiberglass/graphite skis could give the all carbon skis skis a run for the money side to side with the right skier. You have to make 6 turns in a predetermined amount of time so you need a balanced ski that turns well, holds a good edge and releases and repeats the process smoothly . Just my two cents.
Being an old senior skier, I kinda got curious as to a question about some trivia.
Who is the oldest skier to run a 39.5 off pass in a tournament, class C or record.
I guessing maybe Kris Lapoint?
Saw one slalom skier on a public lake this weekend. One wakeboarder trying to survive 30 mph. Lots of Wake surfers just going straight and tons of tubers.
I know it's not comparable but all center console boat prices were and still outrageous. Carolina Skiff came in and took a big chunk of that market with much cheaper boats. They are cheaper but they get the job done. They are everywhere. Ironically, Correct Craft owns Parker Boats which offers a reasonably priced center console in the 18-25 foot lengths. I don't see why a basic bubble back could'nt be built and sold for half the cost of current tow boats.
Never really have given much thought to storing skis in a shed in the winter. What are you guys thoughts on the cold temps possibly affecting skis that m storage? Good idea or bad?
