Waterski Advice Needed

Mariahman81 · 07-12-2004, 07:29 AM

I'm looking to buy new waterskis (had 2 sets of the old Dick Pope sets they used to sell 25 years ago that have lasted up until last summer) to try to teach some teenagers how to ski on one ski this summer over our 2 wks at Lake Winni. They are very comfortable on 2 skis now on the old Dick Popes... and have recently learned to wakeboard. Since I need to get a new set of waterskiis ... I'm looking for good intermediate pair ($200-$300 price range), concave bottom, and something that will be easier to learn one ski... I've never used the wider skiis myself... still using a big old wooden ski that I've had since I started boating... so I was wondering if that is the way to go now?

Can anyone offer any ideas? Also... where would you recommend buying them... Overton's or... ???

THANKS in advance for your help! I appreciate it!
