    Slalom behind your G?

    I took a buddy to the lake the other night and he wanted to break out the old slalom ski.. Well as you can see it didn't end well but man it was fun and the 2 ft wake wasn't that bad! LOL!!! Leads me to a question.... What slalom are you riding? I have an older HO Burner and it breaks loose on me a lot! Im sure mostly to my skills but I believe there are skis with a better bite. The Burner has a V in the bottom for rough water or something?? Wonder if that changes anything?

    Whoa - that looks rough! Best to find a buddy with a slalom boat to handle skiing and he/she can use your boat for surfing and wakeboarding!

      Wow that is a good fall. Yeah G's probably not the best boat to slalom behind. I had a Goode Rev1 slalom until I broke my femur bone on the course last Labor Day. Your buddy may want to take my route , I only wakesurf after my injury.

        That is a great picture. Kudos to the person taking it...hopefully with a DSLR in burst mode.

        Wouldn't this be a good picture to start one of those caption threads?

            "All things are lawful but all things are not expedient." I ride the Connelly F1 and like it because it rides deeper in the water. I have skied behind the G with it a couple of times and that was enough.

              Connelly F1x. It is a little wider and more forgiving than the F1. Prior to that HO fusion. Great Ski.
