Baller keithh2oskier Posted July 11, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 11, 2017 KD Platinum Been seeing updates on Instagram with new skis for slalom and trick. Any details? Looks like its based out of Australia maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted July 12, 2017 Administrators Share Posted July 12, 2017 The brand has been in Australia for a number of years. There is some rumor that there could be product in the US again. When and if this happens is anyone's guess.

Baller T_C Posted July 21, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 21, 2017 The new KD is the best looking ski I have ever seen! Have not skied on it yet but @twhisper is crushing buoys on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Nando Posted July 21, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 21, 2017 So, in checking out their website, the most surprising thing to me was they're marketing double-handle ropes- are these big down under??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted July 21, 2017 Baller_ Share Posted July 21, 2017 That raised flame element on the top of the ski was cool when they did it yrs and yrs ago. Especially in the black and color scheme they had going on. What I see as unique is the profile. Long and straight from just after the tip curve to the back of the front boot and then closes fast to a pin tail. There was another ski on the market that had that similar profile...don't remember which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Horton Posted July 22, 2017 Administrators Share Posted July 22, 2017 I'm sure that there will be an official press release about KD products in the United States when they're ready to tell the story.

Baller JordanOz Posted July 23, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 23, 2017 KD is now owned by the same fella who owns Jobe Watersports Aus (independant importer who is also the Aus distributor for Mapple). I'm not sure about naming him here, but he is well known in the tournament scene and his son is one of the best trickers going around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brettmainer Posted July 23, 2017 Members Share Posted July 23, 2017 Irrespective of who owns KD, it seems to be a good ski. Terry is very consistent on it. Both of my sons tried it and ran their personal best on it the first set. I haven't tried it (Terry didn't have a 67), but from what I can see, it is the real deal.

Administrators Horton Posted July 23, 2017 Administrators Share Posted July 23, 2017 @JordanOz that is not really keeping the secret. Don't tell any one but his name sounds like Wayne Bryant ?

Baller Hockdog Posted July 23, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 23, 2017 The 2005 Platinum was my all time favorite ski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller JordanOz Posted July 23, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 23, 2017 @Horton yeah sorry, didn't think that one through did I. Didn't think it was a secret, I just feel uncomfortable dropping names that's all. Side note, he got one of our club members onto a KD trick ski, and she loves it and has never tricked better.

PhilSymo Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Think the biggest point for me on this is: it appears Terry Winter has transitioned, from Raptor to KD, now I understand that this happens from time to time, but what will this mean for the developments on both skis..... Very interested if any of the features have also found the was across... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted July 24, 2017 Administrators Share Posted July 24, 2017 @JordanOz I don't think it's really a secret. Or at least it isn't anymore.

Baller jpattigr Posted August 7, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 7, 2017 Was at Rosewater ski lake in Montana yesterday, my wife and I had a great clinic with Terry at the new ski lakes and then was excited to watch Terry run 41 on his new KD and finish up with 1/43 for a new lake record! New KD ski seems to be working for him! Had a look at it, seems very well made and nicely finished. Best of luck to Terry on this venture. BTW, Terry gave both of us awesome coaching and really helped our skiing in short order, excellent coach and skier. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted August 27, 2017 Administrators Share Posted August 27, 2017 I just sitting around drinking a beer with Terry he told me that he has run 39 every round of the last twenty three tournaments rounds on the KD.

Baller gregy Posted August 28, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 28, 2017 Website says they are made in USA. I wonder who's making them? Looks more like a Radar as far as construction and graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller kc Posted August 28, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 28, 2017 @gregy When Terry Winter was skiing during the Pro-Am webcast Freddy Krueger said that they were being built at the Connelly factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller auskier Posted August 28, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 28, 2017 I was fortunate enough to ride a few of the prototypes last Australian summer before the flex was settled on. I ran right up to my average, right off the dock with fairly stock numbers that I would have played with a little with more sets on it. I have no doubt the final production ski is better than what I rode. Looking forward to riding it once things warm up a little more over here!

sauderfam Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I have a 68" KD7000 CT (carbon tech) in very nice shape. It came with a KD zipper bag and an extra binding for the rear foot. Contact me if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller packski Posted August 28, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 28, 2017 I don't think you can get them in the US. I reached out for prices and never heard back. Anyway, I settled on a Radar. Always been happy with Radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted August 28, 2017 Administrators Share Posted August 28, 2017 @packski KD has been out of the United States for a long time but they are coming back. I talked to Terry Winter about it quite a bit this weekend. For now the only way to get the skis in the US is directly through him.
