like after ski season a lot of people start wake boarding and stuff. i was just wondering if anyone has gotten into park water skiing or any sort of other water sports related to skiing...  http://www.stereoskis.com/tv/

well I live on a lake, so I already have a boat. and I guess if it's a lot harder than wakeboarding, it's not worth trying. ha

Well I mean like a lot of common plants in lakes/rivers. So I can go in the water if its really cold and the plant level is low.

I did more research. If I already know how to waterski, why not try it? I think I might have to pick up a pair

I've got a pair of HO wake skis. They're shorter (145s?) than the sterio skis (155s?) and they've got a lot more rocker, so they're kinda squirrelly if you aren't a solid water skier, but they're fun as fuck. I ride em several times a week from april - oct/nov. (Hoping to get out tomorrow for the first time this year.)

My homie has a pair of the sterios and he loves them. He's a lot bigger dude (210 vs 150), so they're a lot more stable for him. I've heard several other people voice the same opinion.

But yeah, at any rate, wake skis are dope. Buy some. Ride as often as you can.

i scored a dope deal on my HOs - picked em up brand new with bindings off of ebay for $350ish. i think my buddy dropped about $600 on his stereos with bindings.

so they aren't really too outrageously expensive. they're a hell of a lot cheaper than normal jump skis which can run $1,600 ish these days.
