Hello everyone, long time no see
Just thought I'd let everyone know I'm still alive and kicking. Been quite awhile since I've posted or even logged on. I kind of got burned out on internet forums in general and been focusing on several interests the past few years. I got back into slalom skiing big time in 2012 after having dropped back to just skiing a few times a season for a number of years. Not ready for the tournament scene but put a lot of wear and tear on a 65" H.O. Coefficient-X over the past several years. Hot outboards are forever in my blood though and the Rapid Craft is actually one of the boats I'm skiing behind when I'm not behind friends' inboards. Also been doing some serious riding on my CB500X including some touring in the Midwest plus a trip to Wyoming and back this summer. Hope you are all well and maybe I'll get on here a little more often over the winter.

Glad to hear you're back on a ski - wanted to talk to you privately about a fiberglass repair facility when time permits.

Hey Ron! Where do ya ski now? Back in the crazy 70's W/E's was on Pistakee, (where our house was by Watts on 12, a channel) and the south side back bay was "ski territory". Trust me, I STILL "miss the Chain"!

The coefficient x is an awesome ski! I've been on one for a few years now and can't find anything that compares.

Yes...John Horton's summary on his test of the Superlite version was basically that it was his favorite H.O. ever and that it did things well that he wished everything else did. The outbound carryout is incredible and effortless and the turns are smooth with excellent acceleration back to the wake. Even the standard layup version like mine is awesome.

Robby - I actually ski south of the dam most of the time, or on Bangs Lake. Bangs is rough usually though.Ron V
