Built for skiers who want high end performance without feeling like the ski is fighting them the whole way down. It’s super smooth edge to edge, holds beautifully through the turn, and gives you that clean, controlled acceleration coming out of it. Light underfoot, quick to react, and really easy to trust when you start pushing harder. What makes it stand out is how balanced it feels. You can really lean into it and know it’ll hold strong, but it still releases clean and naturally when you want it to. It rewards good skiing, but it’s not punishing if you step outside your comfort zone or want to push your limits a bit. Confident, capable, and super fun to ski - The harder you push it, the more it gives back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRocker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuous Rocker - A continuous rockerline through the tip and tail of the ski provides a considerably more stable and forgiving feel in transitions from edge to edge in the build-up to the apex of your cut, while without a flat spot, there is no longer a pivot point allowing for reduced sticking points and allows for consistency and comfort both on your on and off-side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased Flat Spot - Increased the sweet spot from your front foot to halfway down the back, providing a bigger sweet spot, a more predictable feel from your ski, providing greater drive through the ski, and increased hold and angle in turns.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\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) - 6\/10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePU Core - The most well-known core in waterski's, it is a durable, slightly softer material meaning you can ski for longer and not feel as tired while also getting more flex into turns and less rebound when crossing the wash.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLaminates\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon Laminates - A traditional carbon laminate layer that is tried and proven adds a snappy element to your ski, driving response through your cut and turns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharper Edge Geometry – A new edge bevel allows for comfort coming into edges without sacrificing the ability to get plenty of angle into turns, making sure at every point of your cut you're comfortable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWider For-body – an increased in width in the for-body of the ski not only creates stability but also allows you to stand over the top of the ski with more confidence before heading into your turns.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced Tail Width - Allows the ski to drift in the tail mid-turn and stay planted all at once, giving you more angle in your turn.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced Sidewall Thickness - The reduced sidewall density helps keep the ski agile and your turns tighter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConcave\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull Edge-to-Edge Concave - a full concave throughout the whole width of the ski creates a fluid motion and greatly supports your cut, allowing you to focus on where you want to place the ski.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth - Increased depth throughout the entire length of the ski creates more lift and support while also adding greater volume;
