Thank you all for your advices, I will check all the ski schools you mentioned.

Hello from France, I am looking for a place to ski in October 2022. My wife will be having foot surgery one month before so she will not be able to ski. So I am looking for a place where I can ski and where she can swim in the sea. So the ski must be not too far from the sea.... Saint Martin in the French West Indies was such a place but the ski school has closed recently. Do you have any idea where we could go ? Any place like that in Florida ? In Mexico ? Thank you for your help. Season has just started today for us in Paris with a 58 degrees water temp and a sunny day. Nicolas

I use to go very often to Cancun to ski. Staying at Club Med, skiing with Scott Smith. Since Scott is not serious any longer, I did not ski there again. I would love to return. Tell me when you open, I will visit you for sure. Nicolas (from France)

Goog afternoon, I was wondering why this beautiful house is for sale for such a long time ? A house like this would exist in France, I would buy it right away. Any idea ? Is it in the middle of nowhere ? Is it way to expensive ? Thank you for your answer. Have a good day. Nicolas (from France) http://www.reserveatpinelake.com

I am in France and I watch the slalom men series. The TV commentator does not know anything about waterski and it is a pain to listen to him....

size M for sure I am 5.9 and 170 pounds and M is perfect

Acapulco......

You are perfectly right. I was the one defending Scott as he had been always great with us. But this time he has been impolite, liear and not correct. People change sometime.

It is not a repost This story is brand new, we are still in cancun...

Hi everyone For many years now, we love to go to cancun to ski. We stay at club med which is a great place for the kids and for us as well and we use to ski with Scott Smith outside the club. Scott as always been very nice to us, very patient , good coach and friendly. The water conditions are great, there is no wind, the water is flat and very warm. We have been there 6 times so far, most of the times 2 weeks in August. So last February, we decided to go to cancun again. I called Scott to confirm his availability, booked with him 3 sets a day for 2 weeks for my wife and I. He was on time the first day and we had 3 good days of skiing. We had heared in the past some bad stories about Scott but with us, he had always been almost on time and in good shape. But the fourth day he did not show up. I called him, I texted him, but could not talk to him. The fifth day he arrived 2 hours late with a crazy explanation concerning his truck that did not start. I don't know why but I then gave him some money for the 3 first days of ski, without calculating the exact amount (I gave him a little more than I owed him). Then he never came back. Never. I talked to him once and he gave me an appointment, he did not make it. He called me to give me another appointment, he did not come. Then nothing. We are now in cancun for 13 days and hopefully, we could ski at club med early in the morning in good conditions. I am not here to destroy Scott's reputation, but what he has done to us is not acceptable and should be known by all of us so other skiers won't be disappointed again. It was our last time in cancun, next time we will go to Saint Martin or Costa Rica again, 2 other nice places with great people and good ski conditions. Nicolas, from France. PS : Scott, if you read those words, you should be ashamed, and you still owe me some money...

I am using OB4 bindings in France for a year so far but never had the "chance" to do a very bad front fall... I am only skiing 55 and 18 meters but out on buoy 3 last saturday, I should have release the rope as I was very late but finally I decided to go to buoy 4... Crossing the wake I went forward and.... had a very impressive fall. On the boat they thought I was dead, on the ground even worse.... I hit the water first on my ribs, 2 days later it stills hurt a lot. Then my ski went over my head, or maybe all the way around and my ski hit the water on the side. I felt the release and I was so happy just to feel a small twist tension on my ankle. I was the first time I released with this new binding, I must say I am happy now for the money I spent. I think that with my previous Reflex, I would have torn my ankle. These bindings are not very popular in France, I haven't seen anybody using them so far. This is my little story today... Have some good ski. Nicolas

I have an old pair black and white, they are 3 years old. They are brand new, never been in the water, but I do not remember if they are L or M. They are at my office, I can check tomorrow monday and let you know. But it seems you need XS.... Nicolas

@barefooter2@baller I must say you are right concerning the wind, it is sometime a little windy otherwise, everything else is just great

Looks like a good place to get a few runs in but not a ski destination. To be honest, this is not true.... Saint Martin is a perfect place to ski, even for very good skiers. The coachs are good, the boats are good, the water is good, the slalom is good. There are plenty of good french skiers who are skiing there year after year, believe me. Have fun. Nicolas

why don't you try Saint Martin http://www.skicaraibes.com a great place to ski and a great place for after ski warm water and great weather as well in March
