Director Darwin Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 For me, D3's have always handled rough water conditions the best and still provided good performance. In the end, you want a ski that sits a bit deeper in the water (bevel design) and D3's (especially the X5) have this characteristic.

Administrators Horton Posted April 3, 2008 Administrators Share Posted April 3, 2008 I don't know if there is really such a good thing as a good ski in rough water. I have heard a lot of skiers talk about older- heavier skis being better in rough water. I have also heard skiers say that the F1 is better in chop. That makes sense but since it sits deeper in the water. If you are talking about rollers then I do not know what to tell you. I guess going a little longer in length could help . . .   Support BallOfSpray by supporting the companies that support BallOfSpray California Ski Ranch ☆ Connelly ☆ Denali ☆ Eden Lake ☆ Goode ☆ HO Syndicate ☆MasterCraft ☆ Masterline ☆ Pentalago ☆ Performance Ski and Surf ☆ Reflex ☆ Radar ☆ Rodics OffCourse ☆ S Lines ☆ Stokes About Horton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Roger Posted April 3, 2008 Baller Share Posted April 3, 2008 I remember when the first Goode's hit the market, a lot of people were raving about their rough water performance and they were the lightest ski ever at the time. I think it may have more to do with torsional stiffness than weight. My Fischer seems to handle rough water pretty well and it's lighter than my Goode was...

Administrators Horton Posted April 3, 2008 Administrators Share Posted April 3, 2008 At your level there is not a better ski for rough water then what you have. The new Nomad RCX is a much better ski then your 06 but I do not know that it will be better for the bad water. If you are a very technical skier the F1 might work for you. See http://waterskitests.com/IST08/F1.htm I would not buy this ski without trying it first.

Baller RichardDoane Posted April 3, 2008 Baller Share Posted April 3, 2008 My 67 Carbon Senate is really good in rough water, as were the prototype MPD's with the heavier core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
