There has been a lot of talk about trickski flips, so I thought I'd show mine
Still struggling with consistency on the toe side. Thinking I need to extend a bit more on takeoff to avoid landing chest down.

New ski recs!
Hello all I recently made a post regarding getting a new ski. After doing more research I am back with a few questions for you guys that know more about this stuff than I do. I’m currently riding a 2015 syndicate V-type (pictured above) from my understanding this is a tournament ski that I have never skied on a coarse but I do free ski on glassy water. I love the ski gets on edge great fast thru the wake and gets back around no problem. I don’t have issues with stability I feel very confident in my skiing abilities. So here’s my question to you guys I was looking at the HO Saber and Radar Senate they both seem like good crossover skis that don’t break the bank but I’m also slightly worried I’d notice a difference going from the performance of a tournament ski to the forgiveness of a crossover ski. What do yall think? And what ski would you recommend. Thank you!

Best Ski Boat Under $25k
I currently have a 2013 Mastercraft X2 which is good for surfing and wakeboarding. My family is getting more into slalom and the wake is obviously not good for that. Looking to get a ski focused boat for under $25k. I realize this will be an older boat so I'm looking for advice on the best options from a reliability and wake quality perspective. Ski speeds will be on the lower side (28-32) so that is a factor as well.

Trying to get my son up. Is the a way to tie the tips together? Would an eyelet screw destroy the fiberglass and or composite?
Got these second hand for $20, only need them for a year or two, so they’re more or less disposable. However, I don’t want to crack the tips off before he actually gets to ski on them

Trickski question
Whats the first flip to learn? Do I need a big wave (wedge or no)? What speed and rope length (75kg 6ft rider)? Any ressources on tips?
I can tantrum on wakeboard, do 180 wake to wake on trick and almost 360 handle pass...
I really want to flip.

New water ski
I have a 2015 ho syndicate carbon fiber. I love the ski. I only open water ski but still rip. Bindings are starting to fall apart. Is it worth it getting a new ski or should I just get new bindings. Looking for insights just cuz I don’t really know to much about these new skis besides that a $2000 ski is gonna be better than a $800 ski. For reference I’m on the lake about twice a week during the summer

Teaching 10 year old
Trying to teach 10 year old
We're going to the lake with family soon and my 10 year old cousin has wanted to try waterskiing. We only have a set of adult skis, I'm guessing 64-67 inches maybe - could we try to teach him on that or will it be too big?
Having a tough time finding affordable, youth skis but don't want to set him up for failure with skis that are way too big and discourage him from trying again in the future.
