This ski is awesome... Within one month of having the ski and brand new bindings (Goode Hardshells), I skied a PB in a tournament for the first time in 2+ years! I basically jumped on this ski and in practice tore it up the first day... Thank you Goode and Karina for a wonderful ski!

This was my first "slim" stick. I went form a Connelley Big Daddy to this. I would call it my favorite beginner ski. it is easy to control, EXTREMELY forgiving, and still has a nice lil edge on it. (for starters).. i could get the ski to do what i wanted. It took me through a lot of free skiing and some of the coarse with no problems however, as i advanced in my technique and upped the rope and speed i found the ski can only preform up to a certain potential. i found my self fighting to keep the ski on edge... When i skied on my friends KD (old but a more advanced ski) i didn't feel this problem so i upgraded. But I'd highly recommend this stick to any free skier and either full rope or 15' off coarse skier! Or any beginner who knows how to get up and ride on one ski. it truly is a blast to take out onto the water!! :] I was able to advance on it enough to ride comfortably with a smooth rhythm at 22' off 34mph. anything more ehhh lets say the ski wasn't too happy with it... Shock bindings went well with this ski, both RTP and Rear boot. its the ultimate beginner/ step up/ almost simi serious ski! :]

Balance. The best of all worlds. Smooth yet Snappy. Fast but Stable. Quick but Controlled. After 6 w/ the fin and boots @ stock position, this seems to be the most well rounded ski I've ever ridden. Lightening thru the wakes, stable in the pre-turn and predictable thru and out of the turn on both sides. Let it carve the turn on it's own and it's an effortless smooth easy glide back to the wakes. Push it thru the turn and it's as if the ski is a part of you, it's stays right there with you every step of the way. I've never had a ski that was so predictable when I grit my teeth and slam the turn. It doesn't stop and pivot, it snaps around but never stops moving. Smooth or scrappy, this ski will put a smile on your face from ear to ear, and isn't that what it's all about anyway?

I have just changed from a HO Monza and can't believe how good this ski is. I also tried the HO Syndicate A1 wich was good but for me the Radar Strada was a better ski to ride. It is super quick across the wake and when you nail a turn it shoots you back across the wake at speeds l could have only dreamed about on the HO Monza.

if you want a ski that turns fast and accelerates fast thru the wake then this is for you
