I just noticed that my 2 month old A1 has a few section on the base that have discoloured, this wouldn't normally bother me but the discoloured areas are rough to the touch.
Has anyone else seen this? as I plan to take it back to the dealer tomorrow and would like to know if this is a problem with the ski that other people have had.

Water has cooled down again and the ski just doesn't feel the way it did when I bought it.

I had the yellow rough stuff on my A1 last fall and sent my ski back to HO. They sent me a new one with no questions asked. Thanks H2oz and Tadd for taking care of me.

Try sending a Goode back and see what happens. ÂÂ

Mine developed a blue discoloration after my trip to Bennett's.

Boody, I contacted my local dealer (UK) and also HO customer service by email from the contact info on their web site.

I thought that my skiing had went downhill as the water warmed up but as soon as I got my new ski everything came back together and it felt like my 1st A1 had in April, making me think that the ski had definitely changed in some way and the result was the colouring, roughness and drop in performance.

rode the X5 today - much slicker through the water and skied easy.
I've wet sanded that bottom area and will see what happens. Seems like not only rough surface but the tunnel is slightly bulged under the inserts. kind of a critical area for a ski. very strange.
