SYNDICATE A3 LTD WATERSKI

The Syndicate A3 is more than a slight refinement of the highly acclaimed Syndicate A2, but an accelerated evolution of virtually every aspect of slalom ski technology. With legends Bob and Kris Lapoint teaming up with World Champion skier Will Asher and Dave Wingerter, the Syndicate A3 breaks the boundaries of what is possible on a tournament slalom ski. The A3's Automatic Angle Shape increases edge angle without waiting for skier lean. The Automatic Angle Bevel design allows the ski to stay on edge at the finish of the turn for maximum acceleration. The Auto-Centering Continuous Rocker allows for the cleanest, tightest turns in the industry. The A3's Speed Control Specific Design allows its skier to be one step ahead of today's boat speed control systems. The Superlite Construction employs a proprietary combination of aerospace carbon fiber and superlite core technology to make this ride light, responsive, and aggressive.


EXO FORM BINDINGS

If you fall while snow skiing or playing basketball, you don’t come out of your shoes, right? The demands of arcing a turn down your local mountain or cutting to the rim dictate a precise fit with a high level of foot support. Water Skiing is no different. That is why HO is proud to introduce the EXO System. The EXO System is comprised of the revolutionary Variable Retention System (VRS) Binding and EXO Shell boots, allowing skiers to remain in their boots, but release from their ski in, out the front, type falls. EXO Shell Boot Technology combines the fit of your favorite pair of running shoes with a level of support unmatched in any other water ski boot. The VRS Binding utilizes a combination of Dual Spring and Quick Cam Technology to create controlled retention and consistent release. Available in two different Flex Index models, the EXO Pro and EXO Form are designed to accommodate intermediate to advanced skiers.

The EXO System is the Worlds 1st Water Ski Specific Hard Shell Boot System. Designed with the goal of creating the perfect water ski boot, EXO System represents a design evolution not seen in the water sports industry since the invention of the fiberglass ski.

EXO = external structural shell

System = interdependent components forming a unified whole

Variable Retention System (VRS) Binding:

The VRS Binding utilizes a combination of Dual Spring and Quick Cam Technology to create controlled retention and consistent release. Dual Spring technology concentrically coils two differently powered springs inside one another. The outer, less powerful spring is compressed to create retention for lighter weight skiers. As skier weight increases, the inner, more tightly coiled spring begins to compress providing the required retention skiers demand. Quick Cam Technology utilizes a caming mechanism to transform the rotary motion of the heel release unit into a linear compression of the dual springs. It acts like a light switch. The system is 100% engaged while in skiing position. When the skier gets out of position, as in an out the front type fall, the resulting torque force flicks the light switch to the off position providing the skier a clean consistent release from the ski.

EXO Frame:

The EXO Frame is an extruded aluminum frame linking the toe and heel assemblies of the VRS binding as well as the connection point of the EXO Shells to the system. The EXO Frame utilizes a Free Float Design to reduce the impact the EXO Shells have on longitudinal ski flex. Unlike any other plate design on the market, the EXO Frame achieves its neutral condition while your ski is in its loaded position by implementing an over rocker shape in comparison to your ski’s unloaded rocker line. Under skiing conditions, the system is complete and all components are working together to create pure ski flex.

EXO Shells:

The first of their kind, the EXO Shells are the only water ski specific injection molded boots ever created. The lower shell design has a wide platform base. This allows the skier to stand directly on the ski’s surface. The skier's feel is greatly increased as power is transmitted directly from the rigid supportive shell structure directly into the ski without the added damping element of the aluminum plate. The platform base design creates a strong lateral connection between EXO Shell and ski for increased edge angle.

The EXO Shells upper cuff was designed to accommodate no restrictions in the rearward flex range, allowing the skier to let the ski move outbound off the second wake more effectively. The EXO shells forward flex range was designed to have a definite stop point where the lower shell and upper cuff mechanically interface, protecting the skier’s ankle in out the front type falls.

The EXO Shells are available in two different Flex Index models, the EXO Pro and EXO Form. The EXO Pro (Flex Index 15) utilizes a stiffer shell and cuff compound for a quicker more powerful boot. The Course Fit Liner and Foot Bed are firm for instantaneous transfer of foot to ski movement. The EXO Form (Flex Index 10) is a slightly softer version of the EXO Pro. Complete with a Form Fit Liner and Foot Bed, the EXO Form offers a softer more plush feel in a high performance shell.

Both the EXO Pro and EXO Form models are offered in two different configurations, Double EXO Shells and the Front Cuff/Rear Toe Boot options. The Double EXO Shell configuration was designed to accommodate skiers who prefer the support of double boots. The EXO Shell Front Cuff/Rear Toe Boot option was specifically designed for skiers who traditionally use a rear toe plate or a soft rear boot. The Rear Toe Boot was designed extensively over the past ski season by 2009 World Champion Will Asher to provide the feel and range of motion rear toe plate skier's love, with the added benefit of keeping both feet together in out the front type falls. The Rear Toe Boot is the future! Every skier needs to try it to believe it!
