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

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!
So awesome!!!!! Keep the good vibes going . It’s been a bit of a sad season up north @ Whistler , thanks for the positivity.
Love to see Shane live on in moments like this!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this. McShlonkey would be proud. Love from Sugarloaf
Glad you dug it.
You are amazing. We love you Scott
I love you, too...Nordberg (gonna have to be a Naked Gun fan for that one).
This is the best ski video I have seen in a long time. Thank you, Scott. Damn I miss Squaw
They work
Ohh the nostalgia, this is so good. Great job keeping those bad boys in such good shape, they’re absolute treasures.
First things that go into my car's rocketbox when forest fire danger is high!
@@scottgaffney7879 I'd do the same thing!! They are legitimately priceless.
Bringing back sweet memories to a one-time Tiger Tail Rd. denizen.
My inner teenage ski bum giggled watching this, thanks!
My pleasure. Literally!
Didn’t he demo these down in Argentina? Nice run btw. Id pay a lot to find some spats.

legend.
Iconic.
Perfect for the low tide snow pack.
They keep you off the bottom!
really cool! next thing - a backflip on a monoski))
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!
@@scottgaffney7879 that was my point, the monoski backflip is in one of the MSP ski movies I believe, so time for a re-do))
You made my day, thanks!❤
This is rad
And that's how Spatulas came to be.
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.
Love it
Sick.
Epic!
so cool!
How do i contact you for the ski goggles review? Scott
Okay but how did they ride?? They honestly look kinda fun lol
Hopefully the proof is in the pudding (the clip). But groomers? D. Ice? D- (no edges). Anything soft? A/A+
I was a ski bum , once
There's still time!
@@scottgaffney7879 My time was when fat skies were a new thing. we loved our 210 k2 gs race and red sleds. we loved saucer boy too
Me too….Is this Carter Ball from Alta??
There is still time to come back.

Did you keep the fins on?
Fins haven't been on in forever. All the better for slaaarving.
