GOODE Skiers comment on their new 9400"I especially like the way the ski accelerates and shuts down. It does everything well, in all conditions." Jeff Rodgers, World Record Holder & US Pro Tour Competitor, South Carolina "It skis great! No ski has the ability to accelerate from buoy to buoy like the GOODE." Michelle Simpson, US Pro Tour Competitor, Texas "After test riding the new 9400, I believe you have designed a ski which will out perform my GOODE 9100. It accelerates quickly and obtains great angle. It decelerates well, allowing it to initiate an aggressive turn at the buoy. This combination will add buoys to any skier’s performance. I haven't changed skis every time GOODE introduced a new model, even though I have demoed every ski GOODE has ever built. I currently hold the U.S. Men's 5 Slalom Record. I set that record on a 5 1/2 year old GOODE 9100 ski. When a ski is working that well, it is hard to even consider making a change, but I feel confident about switching to the GOODE 9400. Thanks Dave for your efforts to build the best water ski in the world. Your commitment to improving your product has raised the standard for the entire water ski industry." Richard Lambert, National Record Holder Men’s 5 Slalom, Ohio "The 9400 skis with a ton a ski in the water, making it very fast. It has a very aggressive, but dependable turn that leads into great angle and acceleration. It allows you to ski a very high/up-course line. Definitely the best ski GOODE has yet to produce!" Chris Rossi, Director of Skiing, GOODE Technology Center & US Pro Tour Competitor, Florida
Hey Dave, Just a note to let you know, five years ago when I bought my first Goode Ski, a 9100, I was amazed at how much better it was than anything I had ever skied on. My personal best went up by 6 to 8 buoys. Well, the NEW 9400 is that much better than my original 9100. I never thought that was possible. I'm out of shape, the water was cold, very cold, I haven't skied for a while, and on my fourth set on the 9400 I tied my personal best, 2 at 38. I realize this isn't that big of a deal, 2 at 38, but it is to me, 2 at 38 is like 2 or 3 at 43 for Jeff Rodgers. At first I hesitated to step up and spend the money for a new ski, since I was already skiing on the best ski out there (NOW, the second best). However, in the scheme of things, the ski is not expensive, I have a $40,000 ski boat, I spend ?? how many hours skiing, if I spent that much time working???? So the ski is inexpensive, relative to the whole picture. It's what I do, and what I Love. I realistically see myself adding 4 more buoys, at least, to my personal best. I ran 35 soooo easy!!!! I would have paid twice that much, if I knew the 9400 was that much better than my 9100 Goode Ski. Don't get any ideas Dave! Really, thanks for raising the bar, again. I love my NEW SKI. Greg Davis
