Question
Hey.

What is the general sentiment about the two three big board/ski manufacturers (HO, O'Brian and Connelly)?  Which is most/least popular?  Why?  Which board/ski maker do you prefer?  Where would you search for comparitive company information (on the web)?

Please advise.

Thank you!
Jonathan.

Answer
Johnathon,
  In my opinion HO and O'brien are way ahead of Connelly in terms of quality skis.  I have tryed all three brands and found O'brien to be my favorite personally.  The best thing I can recommend is to try and demo as many skis as you possibly can to find one that suits your style best.  April Coble Eller
