  1. The new Connelly Prophecy!!! Rips. The best ski ever! Try short with the fin, back in the ski and deep!!!! Feels like I'm fused to a laser beam trajectory and can drift on command!!! Sic!! Numbers are relative to the waterski and the skier.....but just think of a skateboarder or surfer. They rock the casbah!!!! No bindings. They adapt!!!! I love tweaking my gear...and love adapting too. I'm currently on a 66"Proph. stealths. Frt boot canted with nickels and rotated.25 in. Duck"toe out!" Rear boot15 5/8 canted with nickels and rotated .60in. Duck. Tongue!!! not loose, not tite, just SNUG! BLADE 6.82. 2.53 6.85 9winG ! JB
  2. CANTING!!!! Yo waterskiers!!!! Our legs are connected to our hips!! SO..when we stand on our SLALOMS. We are pressuring the outsides of our feet. Even more exaggerated if we're bow legged! Can't your bindings! Do it!! run more buoys, minimize slop and chance of injury. Loosen your boots from the plate a skoshe"little bit", I use pennies or nickels depending on how much CANTING is required!! I slide the nickels under my big toe side of the foot to the front and rear boots. hit em with krazy glue. Basically CANTING equalizes the pressures underfoot, allowing for a more controlled energy transfer.= way more buoys ezier!!! Jamie beauch.
  3. Waterskiing put forces on our bodies..... Lots of my friends and myself have smashed up our ankles skiing short line, and just skiing period. The stealthys tongue design, gives the skier some extra support when needed. Like when we eat @&$t. !! Hit a buoy, etc... Ankle flexion is key to running a lot of buoys. And so is keeping your ankle healthy. These boots adjust to the skiers style simply by adjusting the tongue angles. My testing has been like this.....smash a buoy at shortline, break over, crunch! No crunch here!! The tongue gives needed support, then the releasable system does its majic!!! I've skied with the releaseable pin system for EVER!!! Thousands and thousands or sets!!!!! In combo with the Stealthys!!!!! The best by far...... PERIOD!!! Jamie B.
  4. The Connelly Stealth Boot/Binding Release System. Features.. Carbon lower chassis, lowest possible volume, custom feel in a stock boot. Built in liner. Higher boot, prevents ankle injury. Leather uppers that mold to your stance with use. Speed lace system to customize fit. Adjustable, injury preventative and performance enhancing tongue. Rotatable, and cantable on the releasable plates. Rather than having a plastic cuff, the stealths upper leathers allow the shredder to move where they need! So sic!! The boots look tall and. Nasty, but don't be scared, the uppers simply hold you in position, really soft, especially after a year of balling. They become super custom, after a few rides. The tongue should be snug if you are concerned with your ankle vulnerability, you can loosen up the tongue if you ski with mad knee bend. I like to snug mine up, and laser beam thru mashed up conditions like a surgeon!! The tongue adds tip pressure depending on the setting, and is a whole new weapon! The new Connelly prophecy comes with inserts mounted for the system, no drilling confusion for youl!! The new ski has modified bevels, rails, steps, with a new top contour and graphics! All of which improve performance, enhance the sweet spot and will just help you look BOSS! Jamie Beauch.
  5. I run the new Prophecy 67 with the stealthy boots at 29.125 and the rear at 17.125. The fin is 6.8220 long, 2.53 deep, .74 from tail and 9er on the winger. If you run the new boots..read Thans post above..Canting your boots side/side is critical for most people. The boots are designed flat..I then super glue a few pennies along one side of the boot bottom to accommodate my canting needs. You may not need any, or might need to use nickels. The finished product will come with canting shims. The new ski is more than awesome. The boots!! also..the best I've ever ridden. Jamie
