  1. Hello, I picked up a cheap pair of water skis to us to play with on the water with a kite. Just want to try something different. In looking at the skis and re-reading some posts about using skis for kiting: "I uploaded a video which we made a few years back. It features one of my early outings on skis. In the video I used some twinskates made by Reflex. The boot-bindings are pretty good for the purpose but the skis had too much rocker, could have been wider, longer and with a little less sidecut. So after this I made my own which work much better. If anyone would develop a step in binding and refines the ski design then there could be a chance for this to take off but it needs some people spending time and money on it. Personally I loved the gybing and I believe with the right equipment and some more practice it is possible to pull some mental high speed carving gybes." I see some of the problems. They seem pretty narrow compared to a kiteboard. I'd probably be interested in using just a slalom water ski, but two skis might also be fun. If just one ski (stock) I'd really need to be powered up. It's got me interested enough to try a winter "build it yourself" project. As a kid I remember using old, wooden water skis that were straight edges, wide, and long--much different than what I bought. That design would probably work better for kiting. Whaddaya think? I didn't find the right solution from the internet. References: http://www.kiteforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=2360891 whiteboard animation
  2. Hello Everybody, I'm new here and would like some help setting up my new '08 Prophecy. The problem I have is that the ski feels really tippy out of the turn. In other words, it feels like the I will go out of the front if I ski like I normally do. These are the current settings. 67" ski with draft bindings Bindings 28" Tips .60" Length 7.0" Depth 2.59" I rode the ski once and think it will be great once I can dial it in a little more. Thanks, I didn't find the right solution from the internet. References: http://www.proskicoach.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=776 product launch
