COEFFICIENT X WATERSKI
Coefficient X -- eXperimentation with reducing skis' Coefficient of Drag
The
single largest difference between the skis of the future and the skis
of ten years ago is the amount of physical effort required by the skier
to ride them. As water skiing evolves from a fight between boat and
equipment to an efficient harmony between man and machine, so must the
equipment. The Coefficient X introduces the first major departure from
the traditional concave bottom ski of the last 70 years; Step Concave
Technology. When a traditional ski moves through the water it drags
along with it a layer of water molecules that stick to the bottom of the
ski. In the science world, it is known as boundary layer theory. The
Step Concave introduces a very small amount of turbulence into the
concave, which interrupts the boundary layer, freeing the water
molecules and thereby allowing the ski to move through the water with a
decreased Coefficient of Drag. The result is a more efficient ski shape
that minimizes the amount of physical effort required by the skier so he
or she can enjoy longer more efficient ski rides.
The
Coefficient X also employs a 7% smaller bevel than the Syndicate A1.
This helps to lift the ski out of the water for reduced drag and permits
the proper amount of on water slide skiers need to dictate when, where
and how aggressively they turn.
The Coefficient X achieves its
unparallel stability by utilizing a significantly deeper concave,
pintail geometry and 5-Stage rocker line. Each of these design elements
holds the ski to the water surface, so the step concave and smaller
bevel design can dictate the line between carve and slide for the
ultimate slalom course of free skiing line.
The Syndicate Team
was so intrigued by the Coefficient X design, HO decided to offer it in
two different constructions. The SuperLite (SL) utilizes the
polyvinylchloride foam core technology of the Syndicate Program skis and
90/10 Carbon/Fiberglass construction for the most advanced core
technology available with just a touch of dampening. The standard
Coefficient X is built out of the exact same molds as the SL, but has a
more traditional 50/50 carbon/fiberglass construction and a polyurethane
core. Each ski is handmade in the HO Factory, Redmond, WA.
ANIMAL BINDINGS
The
Animal is the ideal waterski boot for the skier looking for a classic
waterski binding feel but with the support and comfort of a new era of
footwear. Its' single lace rear entry design make getting in
simple and the boot releases your foot when needed. Built atop an
anatomically fit footbed, the Animal boot utilizes high density EVA toe
and heel pieces for optimum comfort. The new overlays are thinner and
include specifically placed stretch zones eliminating foot craps. Go
ahead; release the Animal in you on your next set.
REAR TOE PLATE
The new HO Rear Toe Plate Binding features a floating tongue designed
by world champion Will Asher that holds your foot comfortably in place
using a static lace closure system. The completely redesigned footbed
provides secure grip, unmatched ski feel and supreme comfort. Add extra
control through turns without sacrificing the support you need to take
your skiing to the next level.
