Hubby bought some Kendos last year and skied them a handful of times last season with no problems. Normally he skis his Elans. We took all our skis in and had the edges sharpened and the skis hot waxed. No base work was needed on any of the skis - so none was done.
Normally, Bob can stop on a dime- but not on the newly tuned Kendos. They chatter like crazy and he has to release the edge and slide aways to bleed speed before stopping. They are chattery also on the morning hard corduroy but fine in the softer afternoon crud. We have been skiing SoCal so there is no ice. This isn't tip flap - the whole ski edge jumps up and down on the snow when he edges hard.
I want to take them back to the shop. He thinks he just needs to adjust to them. I've skied with him for 25+years. He has a funky ski style because he's self taught, but he has always stopped and turned on a dime. Right now, I'm afraid when he stops above me instead of below me.
Any thoughts?
