Finally got my greasy mitts on one of these damn unicorns, and thanks to the shipping coordination assist from my friend Russell, the eagle has landed!

Will report back with my findings, and hopefully I can deep water start on this 65" ski, if not it might be a shore start only situation!

Don't know how much you weigh, but the width makes it pretty easy.

Where did you end up finding it?

Went to try it yesterday and realized pretty quickly that the size Medium stock bindings aren't going to work. I have a set of Wiley's I could put on it, but that sorta ruins the collector resale value. Gotta decide if I'm keeping this thing, or if it's something I'll eventually part with.

In the good ol' mid West, with a seller that didn't know what she had, but unfortunately I had to double her asking price to get her motivated enough to ship the damn thing!

Lot of guys use a medium binding, me included. That's probably more valuable as a training or recreational ski and most guys would put a double binding on. You could get a piece of aluminum and mount the Wiley's on that and then to the ski using the same holes.

Let me know if you think about parting with it, please.

Great idea!
