Baller Brady Posted May 31, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 31, 2014 Only a skier would have an awesome sticker on the truck window along with hangers in the truck bed!! How funny! I have several in mine as well. Good to see you back at it @Skidawg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rq0013 Posted May 31, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 31, 2014 I would have to agree, the Vapor is rock'n. I went down to ski with Brooks Wilson 2 weeks ago and the Vapor had me running 32s at 36mph right out of the gate every time. I usually dont starting running them consistently until late June. I ran as many as 5 in a row, which has never happened. I ran 4@35 twice which is a new pb. The ski has awesome speed and the turns are predictable and stable. I have never been so wide and early before on my harder passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Chris Rossi Posted June 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted June 3, 2014 Glad to see you back ripping it @skidawg and happy to help with your set up. It has been fun to hear of the success skiers are having on this ski. We put countless hours into the design, prototyping, and set up of these skis to give you the best out of the box experience possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted June 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted June 3, 2014 My buddy Charles pulled his 66 Vapor out of the box Saturday, bolted his bindings to it, didn't check fin and said easiest 38s he's ever run. Said 38 felt like 28. I'll say this..... After first deep water start, I felt dead center on ski naturally. Took about 3 passes and it felt pretty natural. I ran 32 off and said to Ward, I don't feel like I'm doing anything. Just riding along nice and easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skidawg Posted June 3, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted June 3, 2014 This ski is different than anything i have ever ridden. It is truly special. And the Radar crew is top notch in customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markchilcutt Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 @deanoski i am on a 67" 175lbs 34mph and just moved my binding back 1/2 hole to 29.75 with the water warming up. so 2.475 6.885 .765 using tips only to measure i dont have slotted calipers. The ski is unreal on my offside and wicked fast from hookup to centerline!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted June 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted June 3, 2014 I agree. It comes back in off the buoy to the first wake like an F15 with it's afterburners lit. At the same time, the finish of the turn is soft, although it changes direction instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markchilcutt Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 @scotchipman if we are talking about more tip in the water (warmer softer water) during the turn causing the ski to bit and stop causing OTF would you move your binding back before fin adjustments?

Baller teammalibu Posted June 4, 2014 Baller Share Posted June 4, 2014 The dawg is a bad man!! i never saw any of the offside hitch coming out of the bouy on the vapor all weekend!

Baller ForrestGump Posted June 4, 2014 Baller Share Posted June 4, 2014 Yeah, but Charles is a good skier, Mike. ;-) With you and I, 38 feels like 49 off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
