I skied the Strada55 (67in) a week ago at Radar lake. 34 mph skier, 175lbs. It was a super fun ski. The ski didn't feel too big. Very stable and smooth in the turns. It felt like you skied a very "high" line thru the course (always early). The wake crossings were no problems at all for a ski that is 2 inches wider. Hortons description was very accurate. I would have to agree with him on the performance of the ski. Another noticable difference is the tail is round rather than square. I skied perfect pass ran 22, 28, mised a 32, then ran a 32 pass. For April that is the best skiing of my life. On the shorter line, I got late in the middle of the course and was able to make up ground no problem. The boys at Radar are on target with the product they are producing. Great job with this ski.  MBskier
