2017 HO Skis CX Slalom Water SkiThe 2017 HO CX Water Ski was designed to give the skier maximum performance with an unparalleled efficiency. The shape shares many characteristics as the V-Type paired with the ultra-efficient Clean Edge Technology seen in many of the other HO Skis. This is allowing the ski to keep its speed and keeping you from getting fatigued. HO increased the surface area of the ski by one ski size from the tip of the ski to the just behind the heel of the rear foot. Behind the rear foot the skis transition from traditional to futuristic, as the sidewalls rotate inward like a wakeboard edge and ski bevels disappear in the tail section of the ski. The combination of these two features allows the water to release cleanly off the bottom of the ski, as opposed to the traditional ski design in which water wraps around the bevel of the ski, up the sidewall and releases of the upper edge of the ski, thereby reducing the drag associated with this portion of the ski by 50%. The recommended ski speed with the HO CX is 30-34 mph. Pair this new ski with either HO freeMAX Bindings or HO xMAX Bindings and save on the package ski!

SKI THAT SPRINGS
Carbon is the strongest material on earth. However, it is another property, called Springvalue or K-value, that makes a carbon water ski accelerate so quickly. Carbon's inherent stiffness causes it to return to its original shape quicker than any other material. This is why carbon fiber makes a better spring than fiberglass! As a result, your water ski snaps back to its acceleration shape at the finish of a turn lightening fast, providing skiers with the highest performance imaginable.
Strong to the Core
You might not be able to see it, but the core is the most critical structural component of your water ski. Where carbon is the horsepower, a water ski core is the foundation of a great ski. Powerful, durable and accurate all while being as light as possible is the key to a great water ski core. Developed for the pro-level competition Syndicate Program, our 100% machined polyurethane cores are the world's finest, lightest and ultimately best skiing water skis on the market.
SCALES FOR SPEED
If you asked Marcus Brown he would tell you something about boundary layer theory and laminar vs turbulent flow, but trust us on this fact, fish have scales and so should your ski! A textured ski base knocks all those pesky water molecules from sticking to your ski and as a result your ski doesn't have to drag them through the water with you. If you don't have to pull around these extra water molecules your ski has less drag and you don have to expend as much energy to ski.
