Looks like a 1x6 with some rubber screwed to it... I think I can make one for less than $250... I know I can.

Offer me a Maha, Vogue or even an HP, Connelly or O'brien maybe....

Lake Mohave; Katherines to Willow Beach and back.... 20' Spectra was the pull boat, Maha was the ski... Oh to be 18 again. Oh yeah... shore start off the dock at Katherine's with a single handle.

Then go make one yourself you dumbass. Better yet, go ahead and make yourself a race ski at the same time too. All it is is just a piece of wood.

Dumbass? Well.... I don't think there is any call for personal attacks sir. I was merely stating what my observations were.

Not like I was a pissed off air traffic controller, complaining about my photo being stolen or something.

I won't call you names, but if you wanna ski some time,,, mine is the green Spectra, doing about 50 with me behind it,,, when I get tired, you can try to hang on for more than 5 minutes....

Gotta go to home depot for ski material.... be back later. This should not take long, I won't need a router...

No, you are a dumbass. I put a ski up for sale that helped me tremendously to ski on two world championship teams. But if you have any other great opinions, please do enlighten us all. So far, your doing a great job.

Well I have not been on any world class ski teams, so I guess you are right.

I am cutting my boat in half as soon as I am done with this post.

My house in Havasu is not for sale, I am giving it away since I am a dumb ass and cannot have a little poke of fun at someone on the RDP site.

I am a fucked up individual because I have been a visitor to Lakes Powell, Mead, Mohave, Parker etc, for the last 40 years because I teased a guy on RDP about the ski (plank with boots) that he wanted to sell.


Fuck me skinny, I think that thing should be in the World Water Skiing Champions Hall of Fame Show Case & Museum.

I would buy it, but since I am cutting my boat in half and giving my house away, I don't have any money.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHeeeeeeeeeeeSH!

Get a sense of humor ordered if you sell that ski, it will be worth the money.

Are you bringing her to Parker next weekend? In regards to training on a finless, is it the same as with a 360 - back and forth across the wake? I imagine keeping the ski on the edge is like a fin. I imagine very good training and control handling - I haven't tried a finless before.

Regards,
sean

Serg Mike, what part of go fuck yourself dont you get? Get off this thread. You've already seen that people here think your and idiot and your making it worse for yourself. Sgettmann, yes this fin you can cross the wake with, but to "cut" across the wake will take alot of time on it first. Keeping a ski on edge is not the same as having a finless. It is not shaped like a 360. Flat bottom with tapered tail. Great local skiers as Carl Goldsmith, Martie Wells, Troy Hooker have all used this tool for training. Wildone, The ski is located in Costa Mesa, Ca.

Are you the same "kid" who skied his first race behind me driving the Cooks' "Bad News Travels Fast" Schiada?

Get a Paeling and learn to ski on it while chugging VB all day, its much cheaper and takes lot more skill. If youre world class you can cut and jump with it. Fakkin Seppos aint shit.:D

Croppa's the man, and thats a bitchin ski!

How is the construction of the ski? I am not questioning the quality I know it is made well, but is it made the same as the DC trainer ski? I have a Maha bare board ski, which I think is based off the 360 but weighs about three pounds. Is this ski built lighter maybe to be more agile or like a regular ski with the fin cut off. Sorry for all the questions just trying to get an idea of the ski.
Thanks
