Maherajah "Offshore Special"

[RyanPartridge]

Anyone ever heard of the Offshore Special? Looks fun.

There's one for sale in Vegas. The seller says it's 79", wood with a laminate like top, front boot is a 10.5 with a torn finger hole.

I vaguely recall Bob marketing that thing,, but guess it turned into just the recreational "long board" Looks like it has quite a bit of taper. Part way between a 360 and a race ski length wise.

It kind of looks like it tapers slightly, much less than a slalom and a little more than a 360. The graphics say late 80's early 90's.

I do remeber these, and it was like the early 90's when they were around. I actually rented one from Endo's around '91 or so, and skied around the LB harbor on it. From what I remember it was a fun ski. It was easy to get up on and pretty stable. I have an old Maha ad somewhere that has all his skis he was selling at that time, and this was one of them. It was the same time that the race skis had the breakaway graphics on them. It would be a good ski for any ability, and seems like a good deal. I would be all over it if I hadn't just picked up a 360.

If you get the time, could you scan that old ad and post it?

I will Post as soon as I can find it. I know what folder it is in, but going through a remodel right now, and I have stuff spread out between two houses. Should be done soon.

I bought this ski, had it 15 years I'm guessing. Going to be in Tahoe and finally ride it there though have to put different binding as I'm size 12 shoe.

Described perfectly above, in between 360 and longboard. I've combed through everything I can looking for info, assumed it was a limited or even 1-off. If the ad or anything else ever surfaces, be great to see. @OHHH YAAA
