    best stand up ski

    I'm looking at upgrading in the coming months to a new pole ski. My question is which ski is better out of the Superjet and the 800 SXR? There is no real surf up here, so it won't be doing much freestyling. I'm not new to riding stand ups either, but there are none up here that you can see in action. If I want a Kawasaki there are no dealers up here, but that's no problem, I'm just looking for opinions on the pros and cons of each ski.
    Thanks

    I've heard the new Superjets (08 +) are pretty good but I haven't tried (or even seen) one down here in Tassie. I've switched from a 2000 SJ to an SXR and really enjoy it for what I do - a bit of general riding and playing in the surf but by no means getting into the more extreme side of things.
    The SXR is bigger, heavier and more stable than the SJ (at least the pre 08 SJs anyway). If you are keen to get into the flatwater freestyle sort of stuff, then I'd be swaying toward the SJ but for me the easier riding of the SXR is a big bonus (even if it isn't as easy to "throw around")
