allycat Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 am getting a ski for young bloke there both about the same price would you be better of with the new shape senate or the better core.he just come of a radar tra and has a 66radar vice but he wants something a bit easier on the body.

Baller UWSkier Posted October 22, 2018 Baller Share Posted October 22, 2018 I'd get the new shape and swap the fin setup that's on there with an adjustable version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef23 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I would probably be inclined to go the other way and go for a Carbon Senate. Even the 2018 is a great shape and I think the Carbon has a benefit. @brooks would probably be better at providing an answer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allycat Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 am going to remove the wing on the 66radar vice to hopefully make it a bit easier on him is there anything else you can do to make a ski easier on the body.he s 137 pounds so ski should be big enough i think.will see how he goes this weekend.he looks good on this ski but will get a 67 senate if he keeps complaining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill22 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 @Chef23 if I remember correctly a few years ago they switched the Alloy Senate to all carbon (no fiberglass). @allycat I am sure your son will be happy with either ski but I would lean to the 2019. At 137 lb a 67” would be too big for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
