Another newbie here

Hey guys just joined the forum, brought my first ski the other day after wanting one for awhile.
Its a mid 90s 650sx, needs a bit of love but the price was right.
First question is how good are these skis for basic freestyle/general mucking round?? I wont be doing anything amazing, kinda just wanna test the water so to speak and see if skiings something i wanna get into, but i know fuck all about them so any help would be great.

Welcome dude...The 650 will be a good first ski for you to learn on...Then once you have mastered it and are keen on a new ski a yamaha superjet will be a good upgrade.
Just remember to ride safe and learn the boating rules! dont give jetskiers a bad name..(we have Aquanob for that lol)

your a hard man tofa auqanob(i do love that name ) is a man to look up to oh na he shorter than most of us but come on hes a legend and good guy

He knows im only giving him shit Tbear.....And he loves it...It makes him feel needed lol.

needy oh needed

Cheers guys for the um.. help? good to hear the 650 will be ok for awhile, I wasnt really sure what size to go for and as I ride streetbike freestyle (stunting) aswell Im on pretty tight budget.

Yer welcome. Make sure your ski is reliable before taking it in the surf. Its a horrible feeling when your ski wont start and a huge wave is bearing down on ya. Enjoy and see you on the water some time.

Haha yeah man that thought did cross my mind, its gonna get alot of testing and learning time on the lake before i try my hand at surf

my advise is never ride alone, always wear some kind of life jacket, if you must ride alone, get someone to watch, or ride near the flags.

also, +1 for superjets, had many kawasakis, and wouldnt go back there again now that ive had yamahas

wear a helmet and watch heaps of videos and never ride alone aye flan

Been out the last 2 days. All good

sweet Flan what where waves like we rode local at orewa few good waves norm busted out a couple of big barrel rolls on sunday
Flan you gotta come on the next river ride you woulda loved it

Hey man if you keen to hit the lake we riding at karapiro saturday...

I agree on the advancing on to a superjet because I would never go back now either, however I did thrash around on a 650sx for years and had an absolute blast, was only limited to how fast I dare hit a wave.
go out and have fun!
