Need a set of skis. Recommendations?

[elib]

So as we have really started to get a good group of friends who we want to take out on the boat I find that I need a pair of water skis. I Wakeboard/Surf/Wakeskate etc but my friends used to ski and want to do it again. I look on Overtons and see $150-$200 pairs of skis but not sure if I should get the new radial side cut skis or not. Some people say they will single ski so I'd like the single to be decent but lets be real, no one is trying to ski a course or anything. 

 

Thanks!

I think that this is about as close as you can get to a combo set that makes a half decent slalom ski as well

Late on this thread but i purchased two of the same slalom skis off ebay. I ended up with two obrian world team slaloms with rtp. Works good as a rec slalom and as a pair.

willie, glass top or aluminum?

I had a set of performer with the X-9 delaminate on me a couple years back. Sent them pictures, they sent me new skis and told me to toss the old ones. I threw out the old ones but kept the X-9 bindings. Why? Don't know, too nice to toss. (Actually we were talking about mounting them on an old kneeboard for what ever beer induced reason). So if anyone needs a decent set of bindings for their normal skis, let me know.

I think they are glass top. Blue. But the blue turns purple tinted because of sun fade.
