Baller Stevie Boy Posted September 6, 2015 Baller Share Posted September 6, 2015 Now I know that it is what the ski does and not what it looks like, but has anybody, used or considered using a ski skin to enhance their ski, if they want different Graphics, there are several options being offered on the internet, does the stuff stay on or start peeling away, just curious.

Mo2204 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 @Stevie Boy Can you maybe tell me which options exactly you found ? I want to try one too since I think that the TX looks too plain but I was only able to find one shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite Skier Terry Winter Posted September 11, 2015 Elite Skier Share Posted September 11, 2015 The skins work great. I've been doing them for about a decade now. The material is very user friendly in application, and will stay on the ski for years. When you're done with it you can peel them off in minutes without leaving anything on the ski. If you guys are interested I can do the design work and have them printed for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller drewski32 Posted September 11, 2015 Baller Share Posted September 11, 2015 does it not affect the performance of the ski at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite Skier Terry Winter Posted September 11, 2015 Elite Skier Share Posted September 11, 2015 No, the skins are super thin, light and flexible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Booze Posted September 11, 2015 Baller Share Posted September 11, 2015 @twhisper Just for the top, right? How easy/difficult would it be to copy the top of another ski...say, a vintage EP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Stevie Boy Posted September 12, 2015 Author Baller Share Posted September 12, 2015 @twhisper there used to be a website for ski skinz which is no longer, I thought that was something you were doing, I am surprised that customizing your ride did not take off, I think it is a great idea, more people should customize there ski, after all said and done we are all individuals, wouldn't it be great to have different designed skis on the dock, let's jazz it up, if wakeboarders can look Kewl, why can't Water Skiers So what is the ball park cost for customizing your ride with a ski skinz ?

Elite Skier Terry Winter Posted September 12, 2015 Elite Skier Share Posted September 12, 2015 Here's just a few of some of the skins I've done. @Stevie Boy yes I used to have a website up for the skins, but just migrated that into a site for all of my graphic design http://www.twgraphicarts.com/ I've been charging $150 for the skins. They usually take a few hours or more of design work, then about $80 for the printing. They last for years though, and actually keep the skis protected from scratches and the sun fading the tops of the skis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
