The big difference in the performance from the C1's predecessors is its profiling and rail height. With added tip and tunnel width, the C1 now carries more speed across the wash but allows it to pull tighter in the turn for a more controlled pivot around the buoy\/turn, while the rail height allows for hold and power when on edge. Disrupting water flow is critical to making skiing faster and smoother; the Speed V-tech on the base of the C1 allows maximum disruption in the centre of the concave and less on the edges, meaning plenty of hold on edge and effortless changes in transition. The C1 is also \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003earguably the most customisable ski on the planet, thanks to VersaTail technology, allowing a new dimension of fine-tuning to waterskis. Adjustable tail designs, from a traditional Connelly (VT) tail to square (VS) and rounded (VR) tail designs, meaning you can adjust the ski to sit lower in the water or carry more speed depending on your preference and style. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRocker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuous Rocker - Through the tip and tail allows the ski always to provide a constant level of speed across the wash and allows for a smooth, comfortable turn and drive through the wash while still having the ability to keep that speed into your leading edge easily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased Rockerline - Mostly in the tip and tail, allows the DV8 to move from edge to edge with considerable ease.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlex\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlex Rating(1=Soft, 10=Stiff) - 8\/10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn altered flex pattern bucks the trend and makes the ski softer, working with the overall design of the ski to increase performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePVC CNC'd Core - A tried and true core material, cut to utter perfection that has proved itself on the top end ski's for years, a high-quality material that is lighter and stiffer than its PU counterpart, creating greater feel and response in your ski.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLaminates\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90\/10 Carbon\/Fibreglass Split - A traditional carbon laminate blended with just a splash of fibreglass, engineered specifically so you get all that response and zip out of your ski while getting that little hint of flex when you need it, creating tight turns and fast line breaks across the wash.
