Measuring water ski length?

Guys,

May sound like a weird question, but how is the length of a water ski (slalom) typically measured? Is it along the bottom of the ski, accounting for the curve of the ski, or is it along the top of the ski, in a straight line from tail to tip?

TIA,

Jeff

Thanks for your response. You should see the response(s) I got from the forum over at Ball of Spray.com/ Way more than I wanted to know. As is typical, things (whatever they are) are not as simple as we'd like <g>.

Haven't been over to BoS for a while, but I could imagine the varied responses based on manufacturer and ski curvature, lol.
