regular skis to water ski

its not like real skiing much at all. wakeboarding feels more like skiing than water skiing, its kinda weird.

he's talking about waterskiing with snow skis on, and I have no fucking clue what it's like. I waterski a lot (barefooting is god!), and I think it would be fun to try. the skis would sink though, but if you duct taped some foam to the top of them, they should float pretty well. the only problem it that normal skis and water skis are completely different (besides the Spatula). Waterskis have reverse camber and reverse sidecut (the ski is widest at the waist, and the tip and tail are curved up from the middle), so using snow skis on water might be like using waterskis on a groomer.

i waterskie with skiboards on. you have to go about 35 mph and lean way back. its way to much work. just wakeboard

remember my name...
 
I did it behind a snowmobile and its not all that hard, although i did it on Kahuna's which are like the widest skis of the year. Once you get on the water you totally feel it and its like riding powder. search videos for 'winter water skiing' in the top left to catch the video.

 
snow sking is NOTHNG like water skiiing. when you go fast, you stay above water.

We do it all the time where I live. You just go fast down the snow, and ski across ponds and stuff.

i think he means like behind a boat. and normal skis are not fat enough under the boot cause thas where most of your weight is focused on the water. the line prophets might work but that would be about it

***********************************

Its winter, the birds have all flown south, all but one. One little bird that waited too long. As it flew to catch it's buddies it got icicles on its wings and fell to the ground. The bird then saw a nice looking branch at the top of a nearby tree and it said to a nearby cow, 'I want to reach that top branch but I don’t have then energy to fly up, can you help?' The cow said, 'Here, eat some of my poop it'll fuel you to climb up the tree.' The little bird said, 'Thanks!' and had some of the cow poop. The bird flew up to the first branch of the tree and rested, then the next day flew to the next branch, until finally the bird reached the top branch. Then the farmer came out with a shotgun...

The moral of the story is, bullshit may get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.

 
ya, you definatly cant use normal skis behind a boat. youll just get dragged in hte water until your arms rip off. the prophets probably wouldnt work either cause i dont think skis float in water, so you would drag a ton!

to stop your skis from skinking if you bail, just tie leashes to them.

It's easier to get older than it is to get wiser.
 
ya, i guess your right. would be tricky to start though. youd have to start on snow somehow...

-----------------------

it wouldn't be tricky at all. You would just do a deep water start like normal. Thnk about it, the shape of a water ski isn't the reason you can get out of the water on it. Snow skis would do just fine. I personally don't know WHY you would want to do this, but whatever.

hmm... swimming with ski boots on, doesn't sound like much fun to me.

um, id say dock start from a ways back so you have speed when you hit the water... then go really fast and lean back.

I did it once, with shitty 160 straits and rear entry botos 4 sizes too small., We got pulled by a fourwheel motorbike off grass then into a pond, going way fast.. It took a while but once we got a hang of it we could kinda water ski it (leaning heaps back tho)

We then went from grass to water to wall ride a grassy wall to water again.. Had some funny bails....

Skiing on grass is fun, if you get towed by a motorbike down a hill thats kinda wett lawn grass

WEEEEEEEEEEEEe

whoever posted using Kahunas above is money. I pulled my brother a few weeks back on a pair of busted 189 kahunas with an ancient pair of lange boots. We made makeshift leashes out of old bodyboard gear and chains. Did a deepwater start which wasn't hard..only took a few tries to get him up and going. You need tons of throttle tho. They just dont cross the wake all that well.

 
What switchin_dirty is trying to say is that water skiing on normal skis (including skinny skis from the 80's) has been done before, but it is really sketchy and you would need to be a fairly experienced water skier to do it. It would definitley be fun to try out if you put the effort into it.

I saw a tele movie last year where a guy is getting towed behind a snow mobile on the snow covered lakes edge, rides onto the water, back to the snow. He is going pretty damn fast though. Looks pretty amazing. That is, until he catches an edge and bails big time. It would be hard enough on alpines, doing it with half a binding is just nuts.

In tractor pulls, a 'full pull' is the best you can get. Ahh, how sport mirrors life.
 
just get the spatulas for waterskiing, other then that use, they are rather retarded for snow skiing

I dont think it would be similar what so ever... downhill is downhill, water skiing is straight. Plus, it would be hard to curve because you wouldn't have the little flipper thing on the bottom. Go wakeboarding... its much better*
