 just got my new MAHA ready to try for the weekend!

Let me know what you think. My wife was busting my balls telling me I could have had a new one made for what I've spent on old skis.

I just got one used like new blank 67 fastback from Bob Maha.
And a the 69" classic 360 Like New for a little less then one brand new.
That's how much I like them 

Of all the skis that I bought over the years the only want to have kept was the fastback which was brand-new.

Does Bob Maha have slightly used skis he sells? Or is this the buddy hook up?

His website has a "used/discounted" section

I showed you that glass 360 last week, that ended up selling for more than double what you could have had it for.

 

[OHHH YAAA]

Is there a difference between the 360s and the Fastbacks?

 

[Riverbound]

Is there a difference between the 360s and the Fastbacks?

Yes. Slight

 

[Tommy Gun Images]

How much does it cost to have a new Maha laid up?

 

[Hammer]

I know. But I didn't really "want" it. I'm sure another will come up for sale. That one probably needed $300 in bindings. I'm into my new ski for less than a Maha would've cost me.

Never been on his site. Thanks[emoji106]🏻

I use to. It's been about 7 years. will be doing it again on the delta over the fourth. I have a boom now and will go to that and then go behind the boat after a few practice sessions. Nothing like what your doing. :thumbup::thumbup:

No but I'm willing to learn.[emoji16]

Ya, it says call Bob. I called Bob one time, very nice guy.

He use to have his prices on his website. He wanted $1700.0 for a new slalom with bindings. I wasn't THAT interested.
I have no idea what he gets for a new Fastback these days.

Didn't realize he took the prices off. I want to say an exotic wood fastback is in the range as well.

Damm. Makes me feel a whole lot better about what I paid for my exotic 360. [emoji15]

All I came up with was call Bob. :rolleyes

At least I was right about the prices. :thumbsup

Thanks.

I hear yeah, all the 360s I bought over the years ended up paying for my shitada.

 

[H20-ski]

Wow, he has the original Suzanne Somers poster.

FIFTY BUCKS??.

That's funny, I never even looked at that. What's even funnier is the fact that they go on eBay all the time for 100+

 

[obnoxious001]

I thought you said you didn't make money on them?

 

[Riverbound]

I thought you said you didn't make money on them?

I didn't. But I was able to sell all the skis I had and buy a schiada. Was probably better off with the skis. Lol

Now if I would've kept them and sold them for what the last couple 360s I watched sell went for....then I would've made some money.

 

[Sharp Shooter]

I started skiing at a young age, but never got anywhere near the level some of you guys are at. Never tried a speed ski either which is on my bucket list.

20 years ago, a friend invited my girlfriend and I down to Canyon lake to watch while they practiced for the next ski jump competition. Definitely different to see this from the boat. Takes some balls. :thumbsup

Sorry for the video quality.

[scott4878]

That's a cool video thanks for sharing! My favorite part is listening to the diver acellrateing the small block ford as he pulls the skier across the wake skier got to be going 65+?

Got up on a 67" today. Hoping to try out the new ski tomorrow.

Does anyone know of any So Cal water ski clubs besides Arrowhead? Do they even exist anymore? Be fun to go skiing every weekend locally.

There used to be a group of board members that skied Maine stadium all the time. Not sure if they still do. I would be down to go, but this back thing isn't getting any better. [emoji107]

It's karma for buying a Schiada. LOL

I hope I never have back issues, I hear they are the worst. :thumbsdown

Back was pre-schiada. [emoji17]

I can honestly say I have been through a lot injuries in my life and this is hands down the worst.

I couldn't imagine having back trouble in your line of work. :thumbsdown

For the most part in better off in the field than sitting at my desk. I do have to be selective of which calls I go on though. And be very careful not to over do it. [emoji107]

None of them are close other than Arrowhead. Thanks. Wonder if I could start my own at the local lakes. How would you go about that to have your own area?
