Blasphemy? Slalom Skiing

[murphini]

I forgot to say why I slalomed ; our first boat came w/skis from late 80's early 90s. Skinny and I could never get up w/2 feet in. I'd have to drag back foot and use it as rudder--etc

@beginning of summer my son took boat out to surf and didn't realize skis were under the seat. The full Ballast bag bent/broke the old ski. I wasn't even mad because I never would get new modern shaped skis because I had the crappy ones. Now I needed new skis and got Connelly's Tried slalom w/both feet in, leaned back and got up the first time. Since I'm not a skier I went 26mph. Next time ill try faster.

The new ski technology is so much better.

I'm still jazzed about it. Surfing mellow. Wakeboarding curv-y. Slaloming speediest but most tiring

Slalom every chance I get, but the water needs to be relatively flat. Surf is the most common activity. Wakeboard last. The funny thing is that we have people who don't ski because they are afraid of getting hurt, yet will not hesitate to go do a faceplant wakeboarding.

A close friend just downlake from us a few houses dropped by a couple of nights ago to inform us that he had just bought a brand new waterski. So there are still a few faithful "skinny board" riders out there!
