Hi,
I live in Adelaide and wish to buy a ski that I could learn in reasonably quickly. I would like to compete in SLS comps which would mean a spec ski. I know these are as tippy as so I am cautious about getting one - tried one years ago, if only briefly. I have read that the v8 is a great ski to learn in but I don't think that is a spec ski? However, I do want a ski that I can practise getting in an out through surf as we do get some where I live as well as some long paddles. I can get free coaching from a high level coach but his knowledge is all spec ski based. Also, I will have a fair bit of time to train.
One issue is that there does not seem much access to all skis that are available elsewhere. Any advice is welcome.
Cheers,
Marko
