Hey All,
Just wanted to introduce myself. Just purchased two 90's 2 Up's one for myself and wife. Black and Pink of course. I have to say I'm highly impressed with the Spark. I grew up riding Ski's at my family's home my parents had them when we were kids but I have never been an "enthusiast" so I'm a new consumer to the market and I SO far I love them. I do have some questions and concerns.
My Ski I have about 7 hours on it already after a 5 day get away and my wife's has around 3. I notice a few things that have me worried after one weekend. When tying to the dock I noticed some instant wear and tear on the plastic. Any advice on protecting these things? We tie them to the front and we have small scratching. I was thinking of taking some black electrical tape to put it around the rope so it doesn't scratch. I have looked at the deck ties and they seem to be a decent idea. Also my white seat is fading fast.. I wear black shorts and I'm a big guy ( big as in fat) I'm 5'9 230 and not sure if I'm just wearing the seat hard. I keep them covered while at home so no sun or elements hit it.
Lastly, any advice on cleaning it? I sprayed it off at home but I still have some marks and stuff? Should I be putting some chemical protection on them?
So far I get a lot of " wow" that's a good looking toy and I have to say they're FUN. Even if they aren't the "fastest" on the lake I hit 51 NP and that's fast enough for me. I look forward to engaging with everyone here and truthfully learning more about how to properly take care of my ski's.
