Has anyone slipped their foot into a Radar Ski yet. If so, I would like to know what the thoughts are of the ski. I am currently on a 67" Phantom Truth, and would like some input. I plan on trying one out within the next couple of outings.

here's a guy wanted to trade his 67" MPD, might be worth looking at...a 67" would be good for you...everyone these days seems to be going shorter rather than longer when running the course!!!

Not had a chance to get one on the water yet, I did get to see the new bindings though!!!
FYI, I am not good at skiing so even if I had one on the water I could not give you a solid testimonial. I ski an old Iconn mid wide ski and that pretty much fits my skiing ability perfectly.

I've had the opportunity to ski a new ski every year for the past 6 years, and I have to say, right out of the box, the MPD has been my favorite! I started with two CDXs, then two System 8s, then a Monza, and now this past summer I was on a 66" MPD (5'8", 165). I love it! Super smooth and stable, yet absolutely rips as you roll it onto edge. A fun open water ski, but it really shines in the course. I've heard nothing but positive feedback, so give one a rip if you have the chance!
And Corey, why mess with a good thing? You've got that whole color matching short shorts thing going on with your Iconn... It's a touch combination to beat, both in style and function!
Cheers Bud! :toast:

the mpd ski turns on rail if you keep your weight over the ski into the turn...i'm still trying to break old habits of riding the tail...

I have new found respect and admiration for you sir. You are the epitome of what I hope to accomplish in the watersports world some day!
