Description

This is the most versatile and comfortable ski I've owned (and I've owned over a dozen). It is an excellent downwind and general rough water ski. It is very predictable and confidence inspiring in confused, choppy conditions and does not get blown off course by cross winds like most other skis. I really like this ski but... I have too many skis. I have a faster (more tippy) ski, I also have a more stable (slower) ski, I've also got a ski I can use in rocky rivers. I have two sea kayaks too. Anyway; on any given day I usually use a different ski (or kayak) so as great as the Boost X LV is; it doesn't get used as much as it should. If I could only have one ski; this would be the one. This ski is in good condition although it has a repair to the right gunwale that was completed before I bought the ski. That repair looks and feels solid and has not shown any weakness. I am completely confident in the integrity of the ski so I've been 3 or 4 kilometres offshore in some pretty awesome downwind conditions with no problems. It has a nice grip pad on the footplate and it's been gunwale taped.
