I know I know...when I first started slalom a few years ago, it was behind our friends Ski Nautique with a true slalom ski. I didn't get to practice too much so my skills slipped. Then this summer when I went back to try and get up on one ski, I had a hard time between the combo ski and the fact that my boat does not have that much low end grunt. When there are 6 people in the boat, it can just barely pull me up. Then it would get rough usually so I would just stick to two skis, or drop one after half a lap or so. but next summer I am starting training as early in the season as possible so that I can get some good runs in by the time summer comes.
