I have nevered skied before, so I am looking for second hand beginners ones,

Cheap too......

Tim for 2nd hand skiis you are looking for 100 pounds. If you can afford that will give you the tel number of a shop that sells 2nd hand water-ski gear

Hi

For beginer skis you should not pay more than £50-60 new if you buy second hand go for the same price and get some that are better. They are easier to get up on. Try Beaulieu on 27 April. see thred in main section.

I will have a rummage in my garage tommorrow. I did have some beginners skis (one of my 5 minute novelties!). As long as the missus hasn't sold them at the car booty, then you can have them at a very fair price (about £30-£40?) Will post tommorrow, hopefully with good news!

TIM · 13 April 2003, 20:02

I hope that they turn up Jizm, I would be very intersted, Are you going to the Ribnet Pis*up??? I could get them of you then....??

Thanks for the advise scubakid...

and If Jizms skis are gone I would like to get that number off you manos....

Worst fears realised! Missus sez my mate borrowed them about a year ago. Hmm... may be a dead end there then, sorry will keep trying and let you know. Until I know for sure try this link....

www.towsure.co.uk

click the 'marine' link then the 'water skis' one. Very reasonable prices for brand new don't you think?

Tim I have a very nice pair of ski's with a Camel ribtec underneath them if you are interested.

Aging Youth · 15 April 2003, 07:55

Hi Stuart,

TIM · 15 April 2003, 08:48

How much will you buy the Camel Ribtect back of me for?????

thewavehumper · 15 April 2003, 11:21

Yes they were the dearest pair of water ski's ever bought.

Gavin you've seen the boat in the water so I'll give you about £3.50 back for the boat

Cookee · 15 April 2003, 11:57

............... tell you what I'll do you a deal - I'll give you a tenner for it - I reckon I might get a hundred quid down here for it (the holiday lot love a posey bit of boat!)

Tim you can have the skis for free!

Wavehumper - that is delivered to Salcombe isn't it?

thewavehumper · 15 April 2003, 16:59

TIM · 15 April 2003, 19:44

Oh Yes Jonny Boys......... The do great deals

I think you are over pricing that rib at £3.50 I was going to give you £2 for the lot

PS I was with gavin that nice day going down the Irish sea...

thewavehumper · 15 April 2003, 21:32

Apart from the breakdownsand the huge amount of on road mileage I did playing catch up I had a wonderful time in Ireland. and met many excellent people and some were even sober!

At least it put me back in touch with the stubborn side of my Character.

I am hearing that a challenge is being organised this year in Ireland is this so!

cheers
