That is one sweet ski!
the Connelly has been my favorite, that's for sure although the HO Comp that I own is rated higher for competition skiing. I've bought all my skis with suicide boots, but I keep them off until season end when we really start to cut; the double boot setup takes far too much energy from this 'ol guy during start ups.

I've got an intermediate 'fat boy' slalom too, makes the season start less painfull. Ha!

I usually jump start in ankle deep water from the beach, and single foot out of the lake; saves a ton of energy. Great sport, I've been doing it since I was 8 yo (slalom), but they call it the old mans sport now because all the young guys are wake boarding now.

Enjoy that ski buddy.

It's all wood, inlaid with about 50 different pieces of wood. Heavy as crap but a beautiful work of art. It's hanging on the wall in my brother's pub.

Here it is in action:

Made me think of my old Connelly ski. I still have it. It, too, is "inlaid with about 50 pieces of wood" & is "a beautiful work of art". And it is also "heavy as crap"!

I haven't water-skied in almost 20 years, but I used to quite a bit. Someday I will ski again!

Anyone have any idea what my Connelly might be worth? I have thought about selling it.
