Good pond skim ski?

[carbon.pulse]

Hey im looking at getting in to pro pond skimming and was thinking about getting a ski just for skimming.

I have done a bit of research and think a rockered ski with quite a bit of width would be my best bet for staying afloat in the ponds.

I am trying to choose between the armada ARG or the line EP Pro, which do you guys think would be best.

I have other skis for other kinds of skiing so this ski would be just for pond skiming.

GS skis

volant spatula. A reverse camber reverse sidecut ski would be perfect because they are really just narrower water skis in essence

 

[zackblain]

pontoons duh

 

[Steezy_Street]

ARG's are kinda based off the shape of a surf board. thus i cud only imagine they will be pretty good at skimming

 

[phishfood]

ski blades

 

[coolhandluke]

what bindings are best for pond skimming?

i too long to be a professional pond skim skier

 

[currentwestman]

your gonna buy ep pros or ARG's ($600+) just for pond skimming?

 

[chazz.]

word, its a water ski.

 

[blindside]

liberty BFFs?....maybe line prophets (the biggest size)...these skis are so fat they would probably float even if you weren't moving on the water lol

 

[skiminnesota]

they are a water ski...

 

[Shpadoinkle]

Pretty much.

 

[ryanb]

yeah you'll go over the pond like a boat

I heard the pond skim scene is becoming quite competitive. For best results, maybe put ski bindings on a water ski. I might do this and join the pond skimming tour next year.

 

[Scott~]

I heard theres a new wax coming out to reduce friction on the water~

 

[pussymoneyweed]

nuff' said

 

[skiRay]

well first let me say, that buying skis solely for pond skimming is just... wow.. freakin retarded. (probably spelt that wrong) but pontoons

 

[Macaques]

Stay away from the Armada ARG for pond skimming. It is not fun to mock on gromers or flat with. Go with Pontoons or Hellbents.

both 140 in the waist bigger than hellbent, EP, or ARG

 

[SK1ERDUDE]

Hah you would die

 

[steezerampage]

Take some old water skis and mount some ski bindings on them, no joke, just do it. the only way to go fo sho. just do it and stop complaining

 

[AptosFreeskier]

 

[SEABURN]

CAPITAL SKIS -G-Funkenstein (162 in the waist.. fuckin ridiculous)

 

[Jwalk]

buy some ho wakeskkis they are rudderless rockered around 203 underfoot and twintip

 

[huge-go]

WUT!?!?!?!?!?

you're gonna drop 800 bucks so that you can float over water. Something that's not that cool to begin with? haha

 

[ski_powpow]

SNOW WOLVES, 120 under foot 20 years old and no sidecut ^ he knows what im talkin about

 

[Piste.Off]

Liberty BFFs 300 underfoot. i skimmed a few laps through the pond on them yesterday and i have to say, best skim ski ever! These are truely skim only skis! Dont let them touch snow!

I know what some of you are thinking. How do these handle with chunky ice blocks and shallow waters? I was surprised about how much control I had with these, even on the chunky and shallows.

Buy the BFFs!

 

[jason...]

arg's they are surfboard inspired so chances are they float good

 

[dammitmike]

There was a kid on here who mounted up two junior snowboards with ski bindings, They were around 210 at the waist. Those would rock!

 

[coolhandluke]

psssssssh.

clearly you need different pond skimming skis for each pond skimming event (distance, slalom, freestyle)

amateurs.

"Are hellbents okay for pond skimming."

 

[uT.]

[no_steeze]

pontoons, they're shaped like water skis...........

 

[zackblain]

pontoons have a picture of a FLOAT plane on them

 

[cct_222]

pontoons...........the name alone should tell that they are the best

 

[Oli_jgb]

Liberty BFFs are (basically boats) at 200mm underfoot. Get them!

BFFs = big fat fuckers.

 

[-Nick-]

CLAIM!! i thought they were 200 underfoot

 

[no_steeze]

i heard 210

and also, 300 underfoot? whoever said that is retarded, those would be even more ridiculous than the BFF's in their current state

 

[Piste.Off]

no you guys are talking about the skinny ass BFF SNOW skis. im talking about the wider version BFF Pond Ski

 

[Oli_jgb]

BFF Pond Ski? It's not liberty...

 

[skiminnesota]
