Mapple Water Ski

Mag_Red · #1 02-03-2006, 06:58 PM

I usually ski a 65"-66" 150 lbs @ 32-36 mph Found a great deal on a 2003 Mapple 64" blank. First were there any changes between the 2003-2005 models and second, do you think this may be too short of a ski???

Sounds too short.. Especially at 32

I agree, probably too short at that speed. It'd be a close call and personal pref though.

That was my initial thought. Maybe if I lose some weight............or learn to ski faster

I’m using a 66 at 165, and am afraid I’ll have to get a bigger ski if I want to start skiing the course.

Too short for you Bob. It will hurt you in a course. That short of a ski will hinder a nice (essential) rythmn. You'll constantly be fighting with it to stay on your timing.
