Baller ozski Posted April 23, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 23, 2019 Does anyone have an answer on this? I started thinking about the weight vs boat equation and how much extra weight must hurt skiers trying to to get down -41. I'm thinking Parish would be the largest / heaviest but I have no idea what he would wight in at. At some point north of 210 - 220 the weight has to be a really really big disadvantage making -41 almost impossible unless you have a seriously dialed in ski / setup. It seems in the modern era that smaller guys are getting it done and despite better equipment, new ZO, ropes, skis we are still not seeing many big skiers getting into -43.

Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted April 23, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted April 23, 2019 CP probably. That is of course if you are talking man speed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Orlando76 Posted April 23, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 23, 2019 Isn’t Ben Favret pretty heavy in terms of the -41 club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted April 23, 2019 Administrators Share Posted April 23, 2019 When Nate first hit the scene a number of pros went on crazy diets to try to get as light as Nate. Year's later Pros all want to be light but put more focus on strength. Point is light is good but not holy grail. (I am always trying to be lighter but not trying hard enough) Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes Drop a dime in the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ScottScott Posted April 23, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 23, 2019 Freddie Winter isn't a small person. Parish has the height, but Freddie is still fairly tall, and I think a little bulkier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted April 23, 2019 Administrators Share Posted April 23, 2019 Think Fred is pretty lean right now. Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes Drop a dime in the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller theboardingschool Posted April 24, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 24, 2019 Fred is around 190, and would have never really broken 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Jordan Posted April 24, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 24, 2019 Stephen Neveu is a big guy. Listed at 215 or so. I don't think he has run 41 but he has been into 41 a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
