When I was looking at wakeboards today my friend told me about these twin tip water skis; so what are some thoughts on this and would it be good summer training.

This really isn't anything new.  Trick skis have been around for a really long time.  All they are are smaller (generally fiberglass) skis with no fins...and the bindings are mounted center for obvious reasons.  People do 7s, flips, etc on these all the time.  The only thing that really is new is sliding boxes.  Wakeboarding has obviously contributed to that side of it in the past few years.  They are a lot of fun but it's really not anything like snowskiing so its really not a way to progress in the summer...apples and oranges.

Check ebay bro - $800 is absolutely rediculous.  Either that or keep your eye out for tournaments over the summer.  There are usually vendors there.  You should be able to find a summer schedule on this website:

Trick skis are very similar but they aren't grooved at all and are shorter and fatter. I guess you know that ski season is over or ending when the wake ski threads start popping up.

That video is at Texas Ski ranch; sadly enough real close to my house. I wrote a letter to the owner trying to get them to set up some water ramps for snow. I even mentioned snowgel for rail jams of some sort. I havent had a response though.
