Hi everyone,
I'm new to this site and am thinking about buying a ski of my own this year. I'm 18 y.o., 6'2'' 185 lbs. and ski on an older 69" O'Brien Synchro right now. I have been skiing for probably 5 or 6 years now, but have only started to get serious about it in the last year or so. I ski open water pretty much exclusively, as its hard for me to get access to a course, although I'd love to give it a try. It would probably kick my ass but I've been wanting to give it a try for sometime now. I probably ski at about 30-32 mph (skiing behind a 190 Sea Ray without CC), and ski with a long rope (I've never really tried taking length off). As you can probably tell, I'm just really starting to get into the sport and am no pro, but I'm really looking to improve and improve fast during these next few seasons. I am pretty confident in my wake crossings and am starting to work on one handed turns. So, given this info, what ski do you guys think would suit my current ability level but even more importantly allow me to improve. I've been doing some research and it seems like the Radar Senate and Senate C's might be good options. What are your thoughts?
Thanks,
Tyler
