Question about buying a Strada
Really interested in trying out the Strada. Is there a return policy in case I buy the ski but don't like it? I'm thinking maybe like D3's program where the ski is refundable within 1 month of purchase. I know about the demo program at H2Osmosis and it's a great program but I'm not interested in doing that because you're obligated to buy a ski from them once you've started the demo process unless you want to eat the deposit. Thanks.

Re: Question about buying a Strada
Not sure of your location but here in Salt Lake City, Utah our local pro shop Marine Products does a demo program with no obligation to buy but you do pay $20 dollars to demo it. If you buy something they will credit the demo cost toward the purchase.
I am on the Strada and love the thing!!!!!
Peace, MC

Re: Question about buying a Strada
My local shop does demos but not on the Strada because it's too new. I'll just keep my eyes peeled for any opportunities.

Re: Question about buying a Strada
I bought and love it! Is there anyone who has tried it and not liked it?

I have nothing to do with them but H2Osmosis has a ride before you buy program.

Re: Question about buying a Strada
You can try some skis at Trophy Lakes in Charleston, too, if you don't want to go to Oz.
I started my season out on a slightly used Goode, and snapped it in half, so found myself trying skis. I spent one day on and HO Syndicate S1 - I liked it, but wasn't crazy about it.
I went to Charleston and spent a full day riding the D3 Z7 ST, and the Strada - 4 sets on each ski. I would have kept skiing, but I took a bad crash and hurt my ankle (cost me 3 months on the water...). I REALLY liked them both, but ended up buying the Strada. I've set a new personal best twice on it, so I think it was the right choice.
