    Ha, I rode the Funitel with you that day. Thank you for all you've done for the valley.

    Had the honor of seeing you and these sweet boards this morning in line at KT. Thanks for being so cool about it and for all you've done for Squaw and skiing. Imagine today may have been an emotional day. Great to see you out there.

    It would be sick if someone built a tribute downhill ski with these water ski graphics and modern rocker. A throwback ski with a modern twist would be epic! K2 would be perfect, of course. Maybe Icelantic?

      K2 made a very limited edition pair of Pontoons with that graphic. I got a pair and now I just have to score some bindings to mount them up!

    Didn’t he demo these down in Argentina? Nice run btw. Id pay a lot to find some spats.

    • @scottgaffney7879
      @scottgaffney7879  8 месяцев назад +1

      I'm pretty sure he never took these to Argentina. They took up a lot of room in a ski bag. I think he just did a couple of practice laps in Bella Coola prior to his famous railslide.

      Shane already did that long ago. But he never backflipped these waterskis. They're pretty heavy. I think I'll leave that to someone else!

    And that's how Spatulas came to be.

    • @scottgaffney7879
      @scottgaffney7879  9 месяцев назад

      Close--the Spatulas came before Shane mounted these skis. But he did take the rocker/reverse sidecut concept from surfboards and waterskis in designing the Spatulas. Then he mounted these waterskis and took them to Bella Coola, BC to prove a point. And he made that point clear.
