Baller MattP Posted May 10, 2012 Baller Share Posted May 10, 2012 @usaski1 I would take a look at the Radar Lyric 65'' $300 blank get a front Lyric binding($165) and a RTP($63), recommended ski speed is 28-34 and the Radar P-6 65" is 24-30mph $250. Talk to Tommy over at http://www.gettommys.com/ they can hook you up! needs double boot No one needs a double boot, especially if they are just learning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skibug Posted May 10, 2012 Baller Share Posted May 10, 2012 If you can find a 65.5" 2005 - 2006 D3 X5 in good condition, that might be a good option as well. I personally have experience with a couple of women on this ski. I remember when I was researching skis; I got a lot of feedback on this ski for women in particular. It is very stable, rides deeper in the water, turns without effort. Just my $.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boarditup Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Another vote for the Lyric. FWIW, many wakeboarders have a much easier time getting up and starting out with double boots. The toe loop tends to weird them out at the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Wish Posted May 10, 2012 Baller Share Posted May 10, 2012 HO Couture. Link is a good explanation of the ski design. Price is close for full set up. Probably can get it cheaper. Step bottom is great. http://www.bartswatersports.com/catalog/Slalom_Water_Skis/HO_Couture_Slalom_Water_Ski_2012_HH2272/index.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usaski1 Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 thanks for the ideas.. its prob between radar Lyric and P6... Looks like I can get a new one with boots for under $400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usaski1 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Any difference between years, like if I got a 2010 Lyric/p6 is it the same as a 2012 in construction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller davemac Posted May 30, 2012 Baller Share Posted May 30, 2012 Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe in year 2011 the Lyric,Senates,Theory, & P6 were updated construction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
