2004 or 2006 Sixam 1.0 or 2.0?

[Mikeski]

I am currently riding and liking my 2004 Sixam 1.0. I am sharing the ski with my nephew and I am starting to trash his bindings so I need to buy him or me a new setup. I know that Andy departed before the 2006 was finalized. I typically ski 34/28off+, I might even consider the wider Sixam but I am hesistant to do that skiing behind my 211 with tug boat wakes.

Any opinions?

Mikeski,
here is the link to the 2006 ski test. We did both the 1 and 2.

MARK, how come you guys didn't test D3 this year?

[MARK-S]

D3 had nothing new at test time, so they stayed out. We did the Nomad in 06, and d3 was not happy with our results. I did not like the Nomad, but I love the X5. The x5 has all the comfort of a D3 smooth ride and a bunch of speed.

I was riding a 69" 1 point (2006). I just started riding one of the new 2007 67.5" 2 points that I got from Drew Ross. Brand new design. For me it is a much better ski....I run 34mph 15' off. The ski seems to turn much easier than the 1 point. I am no expert, but the length may be influcing that as much as anything.

At the tests, all the 36mph people liked the 1 and the 34 MPH liked the 2 point.
