Baller_ Wish Posted January 14, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted January 14, 2013 Possible ski for daughter. Looking for that D3 feel. Thought I read some where that his skies were similar. Could be wrong. Says Fiberglass and graphite so probably heavy and flexible. Long line slower speed skier but would like a ski that can take her to speed (32-34) and shortn a section or two.

Baller Chef23 Posted January 14, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 14, 2013 Spend a few hundred dollars and get her something from this decade. You should be able to get something that is better for $300 or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted January 14, 2013 Author Baller_ Share Posted January 14, 2013 Wow did not realize it was that old . Never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Inboardfix Posted January 14, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 14, 2013 What speed is she skiing now and how much does she weigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted January 14, 2013 Author Baller_ Share Posted January 14, 2013 Age 13. Up to 26mph in the course 105lb. Not sure if she is totally hooked yet. Seems to enjoy it, is advancing and has done a handful of tournaments over the yrs but isn't exactly asking to go ski. Looking to spend less then $200. Hoping a new ride will set the hook with an increase in buoy count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Inboardfix Posted January 14, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 14, 2013 Wow, kinda an in the middle point right now at her size and speed. What size ski are you wanting to put her on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted January 14, 2013 Author Baller_ Share Posted January 14, 2013 65". Will keep her up at slower speeds and as she grows and ups the speed, It should grow with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankS Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I have a 65 HO triumph that could work very well for her. I think it is 2009 or 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted January 14, 2013 Author Baller_ Share Posted January 14, 2013 @FrankS Triumph- isn't that a wide body ski? I'd lake to stay traditional shape unless it's under 65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted January 14, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 14, 2013 A 65" Coefficient X or Coture would work well for her. I would think you could find one of those at a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Inboardfix Posted January 16, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 16, 2013 @Wish I have a 2008 Sixam 2.0 64" with some damage on the nose/tip. Haven't repaired it yet, $150 as is or $175 repaired + shipping. As you probably know the Sixam 2.0 is a little wider than the 1.0 and a 64" has very close to the same wetted surface as a traditional shape 65". This ski might have 10 sets on it. Customer's Mom bought it for him during the summer. I skied at the same lake as the guy one time and saw him on it. It was way too small. After the set he showed me the nose/tip and asked me to repair it. Rather than repair it I exchanged it for a 66" which is what I should have sold him in the 1st place (his mom guessed wrong on his weight). It was a new ski when sold this summer. Lot of ski for the $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted January 16, 2013 Author Baller_ Share Posted January 16, 2013 @Iboardfix that sounds good to me. Anyone know the characteriscs of the 2.0? Ease of use? All comments welcome :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller DanE Posted January 16, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 16, 2013 Bought a 66" for my son last summer. Probably one of the Most underrated skis out there in the last years. He loves the ski, I tried it myself and thought to my self why am I always chasing after the latest and greatest ski? It's a performer with symmetrical and stable turns, jmtc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted January 16, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 16, 2013 @Wish that is a good ski and would work well for your daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNh2oskier Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 @wish agree with above sixam 2.0 is very forgiving-stable- and short line capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
