Hi guys, been skiing 2 skis all my life. Got up 20+ years ago on 1 a few times but I'm alot heavier now - around 210 lbs.
Been using some old wood water skis - fine for 2 skis but I can't get up with 1 - they are not big enough (64")
Anyhow was looking at the Obrien Celebrity 68" combo and Obrien Advantage 68" (seems to be the same ski) 159.00 for 1 and 112 for the other (on sale)
Also looking at the Connelly Cayman 67" 179.00 - seems to be a nice ski but can't try one on since no one around here carries. But i hear good reviews.
my foot is size 11 and pretty wide and I tried a few sets of skis that seems really tight to me. Saw some HO Blast skis that looked really nice but boy are they tight when I tried on
Any suggestions - want to get into Slalom now since I've have my own boat for a the last 2 years - always relied on my dad's boat before so I didn't get out very much until the last few years.
have the blessing from the wife for a new set of combos - doesn't want to fork out the cash for a good slalom if it doesn't work out - ha ha
