The 2027 HO Hovercraft takes a wide-body approach to relaxed open-water skiing. Its Widetrack frame provides a broad platform for deep-water starts and low-speed balance, while the swallow-tail tri-fin shape brings a surf-inspired way to carve. It is designed for speeds up to 25 MPH.
The Stance UltraLite setup adds independently adjustable lacing and a flexible split-back cuff.
Why Choose the Hovercraft
- Easy-start priorities: The wide Widetrack platform supports deep-water starts and a stable low-speed ride.
- Surf-inspired turns: The swallow-tail tri-fin design provides turning control without demanding the same edge technique as a conventional slalom ski.
- A different way to steer: Lightweight, high-flex Flexbody construction lets you steer from the tail or maneuver dynamically.
- Relaxed open-water sessions: The up-to-25-MPH design suits learning and playful free skiing for experienced skiers alike.
Wide-body design
The Hovercraft combines its broad platform with a swallow tail and tri-fin arrangement. Flexbody construction is intentionally flexible, keeping this ski’s character centered on low-speed balance and surf-style control.
