If you've ever wondered how a surfboard would handle to ski on (which you probably haven't), you now have the answer with this free-ski weapon. Shaped with the ultimate width profile, trouble on deep water starts is a thing of the past, reducing the amount of wobble and spray to your face. With a surfboard-inspired thruster design, the Hovercraft creates edge hold while the fin setup provides pivot in turns at slower speeds. Finished in a flex body construction, the Hovercraft flexes underfoot to put less strain on your body. It's tough to find a kinder ski.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRocker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eContinuous Rockerline -\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA singular long continuous rockerline provides a considerably more stable and forgiving feel in transitions from edge to edge and, in the build-up to the apex of your cut, while also removing any stall spots at the top of your cut.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\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) – 5\/10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePU Core – \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe most well-known core in waterskiing.
