DEDICATION BEHIND THE SCENES Made in USA:

The Design Team:

Constant Quality

Unconventional Experts

At HO Skis we do things differently. While others sacrifice quality by manufacturing overseas, we stand strong without compromise and make all of our slalom skis in Seattle, Washington USA. Top to bottom, the entire HO Skis slalom line is conceptualized, designed, engineered, tested, and manufactured in the United States of America. With the world’s top aerospace manufacturers in our backyard, we have access to the world’s finest materials, like aerospace carbon fiber, that we’re able to use in our waterskis. For example in our Superlite Collection we have taken the aircraft manufacturing principles of lightweight, responsiveness and reliability, and combined them with our hydro-dynamic ski shapes, giving skiers looking for the extra boost in their carve, something to bring them as far as they want to go. Keeping our entire process domestic and in-house also gives us the ability to closely control quality and continuously improve processes as the skis are built, thereby assuring that you get the best and most reliable products possible. This means better waterskis, better performance and peace of mind knowing that you’re riding the best skis in the world.

The Test Team: Top Pro Skiers Make Top Pro Testers.

The HO Design Team is led by Brand Manager Dave Wingerter and consists of designers and engineers who, from a lifetime of experience in the sport, have developed an intense passion for waterski design. Combined with their academic backgrounds in aerospace technology, rocket propulsion technology, and hydro-dynamic hull design, the HO Design Team is able to make skis that are lighter, faster, more responsive and more consistent than ever thought possible. As skiers ourselves, we take pride in applying cutting edge technology from outside the industry to the sport and lifestyle we hold so dear. Our waterskis are designed with great precision in a workshop setting, then perfected down to the millimeter with our state-of-the-art computer systems. From tip to tail every feature on our skis is tested and tweaked countless times to get the ski riding exactly how we want it, and how you need it.

The Shapers: Hall-of-Fame Ski Legends

Bringing together the world’s most experienced waterski shapers and Hall-ofFame waterski legends Bob and Kris LaPoint with our expert design engineers has yielded an evolution of thought in the waterski industry. The LaPoints know and understand what has and hasn’t worked for the past thirty years. Their limitless wisdom coupled with our young designers’ off-the-wall ideas produces skis that push waterskiing to the next level.

Developing the most revered professional waterski team in the world, The Syndicate, has its benefits. Not only do they ride our products on the biggest world stages, they allow us to test our ideas via rigorous on-the-water analyses. With World Champion testers at our fingertips we’re not only able to determine what’s good in theory, but what actually works, feels great, and makes your time on the water all the more remarkable. 08

SYNDICATE TEAM

COURSE, CROSS OR FREE?

WE’VE FOUND THAT THERE ARE 3 BASIC TYPES OF SLALOM SKIERS BASED ON THEIR ENVIRONMENT AND PREFERENCE. For example; if you enjoy slaloming the course, turning buoys, and going for gold at tournaments you’ll need a different ski setup than someone who enjoys cruising the big lakes and rivers and ripping turns in the open water. “But I like to do all of those things!” you say? Well, we make skis specific to cross-over types as well. No matter where, when, or how you ski, we make a line specifically tailored for you!

COURSE SKIER A Course Skier skis primarily in the slalom course and in the tournament arena. Their ski feature needs include tight angle turns and responsive agility to handle maximum speed and load.

PG.22

CROSS SKIER A Cross Skier skis part time in courses and part time in the open water. This skier aspires to move up to the course arena or often skis at settings where no course is available. Their ski feature needs include efficiency and versatility.

PG. 32

FREE SKIER A Free skier skis primarily in open water such as big lakes and rivers. Their ski feature needs include carve-ability and range, as their ski needs to cut through the most diverse waters and keep the ride smooth and free.

COURSE COLLECTION PERFORMANCE ACHIEVED VIA AUTOMATIC ANGLE DESIGN The secret to unlocking the slalom course puzzle is creating and maintaining ski angle. Ask any of the great champions of our sport, from Bob and Kris LaPoint, to Wade Cox to Will Asher and they will tell you the name of the slalom course game is angle. You create and maintain angle and a lot of other things fall into place. The LaPoints created angle with an unmatched power the water ski world has not seen since. Cox blew our minds with his all-out attack of ski angle via lower body compression and drive. Asher has perfected the technical science of angle creation and helped the Syndicate design team develop our game-changing combination of ski features known as Automatic Angle design. Automatic Angle design is a combination of a balanced ski width profile and increased bevel angle which allows the ski to automatically seek and maintain ski angle without the traditional aggressive skier lean. The angle of the bevel is actually steeper than a traditional ski which allows the ski to roll onto a high edge angle resulting in a quicker change of direction and increased angle in the slalom course. By achieving ski angle without aggressive skier lean, skiers reap the benefits of being wide and early for the next buoy without the consequences imposed by modern speed control systems due to heavy rope load. Ride the future, ride Syndicate Course skis with Automatic Angle design.

PERFECT STORM:

THE SYNDICATE PROGRAM The Syndicate is the word’s premiere elite-level waterski program and ski team. From tournaments won to skis sold, The Syndicate is the undisputed leader. Our constant drive to look beyond industry standards fuels our passion for innovation, resulting in better and more exciting products for you year after year. As soon as we release a model we are instantly back in the laboratory furthering our designs, evolving our ideas, and testing concepts for the next development. For example while the Syndicate A2 was winning multiple major pro titles and countless amateur titles, we were already hard at work designing the Syndicate A3.

Will Asher: Evolving from Top Pro to Legend

Syndicate front-man Will Asher is one of the most prolific skiers ever to shred the water. He has always been a clutch performer mentally but now, with the confidence he has on his proven pro model Syndicate A3, he is unstoppable,sitting firmly atop the world as #1. His success, however, is not purely based on talent and timing. Will’s involvement in developing and testing Syndicate products cannot be overstated; he is constantly tinkering, learning, and experimenting to help us develop the next greatest thing in skis, gloves, vests, boots and more. Bob LaPoint, who has spent decades shaping waterskis and the waterski industry, describes Will as "the best ski tester of this generation", citing his ability to not only take the ski to the max, but to feel and analyze the features after each pass.

Exponential Growth of The Syndicate

As the Syndicate program grows and blossoms, the team continues to develop and push the boundaries of possibility. Jon Travers became the seventh skier ever to run 41’ off in a tournament, Nick Adams broke the longstanding Australian slalom record and took the Australian Masters title, Greg Badal set a new Big Dawg record, April Coble-Eller was honored as Waterski Ambassador of the Year, and many others have ascended to the top of the professional and amateur scenes by taking advantage of the power of The Syndicate.

Will’s unwavering commitment and determination make him the most prepared skier on tour. He was recently named Waterski Magazine’s 2013 Slalom Skier of the Year, retains the #1 in the world status on the elite skier rankings list, was the victor at the US Masters, Palembang World Cup, Diablo Shores Pro-Am, Australian Open, and European Championships, earned silver at the Malibu Open and Atlanta Pro-Am, and bronze at Soaked. Asher also broke the European and British records by tying the world record score of 2 buoys at 43’ off twice.

CROSS COLLECTION AUTOMATIC ANGLE + CLEAN EDGE = PERFECT CROSS OF PERFORMANCE & EFFICIENCY The ultimate in cross-over ski technology, skis designed to deliver maximum performance with unparalleled efficiently. The all-new 2014 Cross-Over Collection marries the world record capable design of the Syndicate A3 with the ultra-efficient Clean Edge technology of the revolutionary Freeride ski, to create the perfect cross of performance and efficiency. The HO Syndicate design team began with record breaking A3 design, 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 feature allows the water to cleanly release directly 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%. Clean Edge technology is a step into the modern age of ski design and the lack of physical effort required to ride these skis will forever change a skier’s perception of what is possible. Imagine riding an A3 designed to rip off 60 turns instead of 6 and you will begin to understand the powerful combination of performance and efficiency skiers are tapping into on HO Cross-Over Collection skis.

SUPERLITE COLLECTION WORLD’S FINEST WATER SKI MATERIALS The day water skiers found the magic combination of carbon fiber and PVC foam core slalom skis, the water ski world changed. If you weren’t skiing on a ski with this carbon fiber-PVC foam combination, you were at a significant disadvantage from your competitors. More importantly you were missing out on the most amazing feeling of effortless acceleration you have ever imagined. For years skiers were forced to purchase high end, traditional width, tournament slalom skis, designed to make 6 turns at the shortest line lengths imaginable, in order to feel the rush and exhilaration only the world’s finest ski materials had to offer. The truth is, the majority of these skiers weren’t tournament level slalom course skiers and really needed a completely different ski for their typical cross-over ski environments. These skiers would make performance and efficiency sacrifices in order to feel the magic of carbon and PVC foam. That is until now. HO is proud to introduce the 2014 Superlite Collection of Cross-Over skis, constructed with the same proprietary combination of aerospace carbon fiber and superlite PVC foam core technology found on the legendary Syndicate skis, but in Cross-Over specific shapes designed for the ultimate in performance and efficiency. Finally skiers can enjoy the magic feeling only the world’s finest water ski materials have to offer on a shape designed specifically for the type of skiing they enjoy.

FREE COLLECTION CLEAN EDGE TECHNOLOGY -- 50% LESS DRAG THAN CONVENTIONAL SKIS FOR COMFORTABLE SKIING AT WAKEBOARD SPEEDS Clean Edge Technology is the backbone of each and every HO Freeride ski. This revolutionary ski technology allows skiers to ski behind any boat, at any speed, in any water condition. The beveled edge of a traditional water ski allows water to wrap around the bottom of the ski and up the sidewall where it finally releases off the ski’s top edge. Clean Edge Technology is bevel-less and the sidewalls are rotated inward like a wakeboard edge. The combination of these two design features causes water to release cleanly off the bottom surface of the Freeride resulting in a 50% less drag than conventional skis. By having 50% less drag than a conventional ski, skiers are now able to slow the boat down to wakeboard speeds and enjoy skiing without sinking and having to deal with excessive spray and drag. This opens the possibility of skiing behind all types of boats; inboards, outboards, I/O’s, personal water craft and even cable parks. In addition, this effortless skiing at reduced speeds allows skiers to easily negotiate any reasonable type of water condition. This reopens the door to bodies of water once forgotten for water skiing and allows skiers to ride together in harmony with our wake brethren once again. Live free and ski!

INFINITE POSSIBILITIES:

THE FREERIDE EXPERIENCE By: Marcus Brown There are roughly 20 million lakes on Earth big enough to handle a power boat. There are over 20 million powered watercraft in the United States alone. I know what you're thinking, because its exactly what I'm thinking; “Why aren't more people water skiing?” The fact of the matter is, there has never been the right tool for the adventure…until now. In recent years, water skiing has been an ever exclusive sport. It has been a competition based hobby that sometimes feels more like homework than fun. More people seem to leave the sport than join and everyone who still skis is getting older…until now. Sure, it doesn’t get much better than tugging around behind the best competition ski boat, but for many, that is more of an aspiration than a realization. Most people feel that you shouldn't need your own private ski lake and a $1000 ski just to go rip turns and revolutionize your outlook on life. And here at HO, we agree with you.

The Lake Ski: A Gateway to the Past

Back when water was free and gas was cheap, skiing on water wasn't necessarily about how good you were, it was about discovery. Skiing brought with it adventure, adrenaline and freedom. It allowed people to get outside and touch the expansive landscapes of public lakes and rivers, and ultimately gave them a way to go inside that elusive place we go where we are connected with everything, yet burdened by nothing…Our Flow State, to be “Moment Bound”. This is why we designed the Freeride; the ultimate lake ski to bring that feeling to fruition.

Lake Skiing will Never Die

Skiing on water is unique. There’s nothing else like it. Sure, maybe a powder day in the winter gives you a taste of freedom, but it doesn’t really take you all the way there. It can’t give you the exhilarating sensation of sliding across the water for the first time ever. It won’t give you that butter feeling of breaking glass first thing in the morning, as the sun peeks over the horizon. It will never let you experience the power of 350 horses, right in the palm of your hand…but lake skiing can! Skiing on water, even at the very basic level, is a lifestyle. The recipe is simple: It begins with family and great friends, the people you really want to hang out with. To that add some sun, a nice sheet of flat water, and maybe a sweet beach or island to stake claim to. Toss in a pinch of music, a boat, a rope and ski, and you start to really experience the power and opportunity that is Freeriding. Somewhere along the line, we all realize that humans rely on adventure and new experiences to stay happy and hungry. This is a fact. Here at HO we believe that the Freeride offers that escape and adrenaline rush…for practically nothing. We couldn’t be more proud to share our new favorite ski with everyone out there…and as skiers ourselves, we’ve never believed more in the future of this lake life than we do right now. Lake skiing will never die, because the Freeride is here to stay. Join us!

FOOTWEAR COLLECTION LINER-LESS, BASE-LESS, WEIGHT-LESS A simple less is more philosophy is the mantra behind HO’s footwear collection. An obsession with one foot deeply rooted in fit and comfort and the other in enhanced performance, HO’s Liner-less, Base-less, Weight-less philosophy melds athletic shoe comfort with hardshell boot performance. Liner-less technology eliminates the sheering between the textile shell and liner for hardshell like lateral support with a comfortable athletic shoe fit. Liner-less technology allows the physical footprint of HO boots to be smaller with less external boot volume to reduce the negative effects of water drag. HO’s Base-less design allows skiers to stand directly on the skis surface with only a thin comfortable orthotic foot bed separating the skier’s foot from their ski for the ultimate in skier feel and feedback. The combination of HO’s Liner-less and Base-less designs result in water ski boots that are virtually Weight-less on your ski, bringing overall ski weights down by over 25% for the fast and fluid ride skiers dream of. Liner-less, Base-less, Weight-less technology for the ultimate modern water ski footwear collection.

COMBO SKIS COLLECTION V-BOTTOM TECHNOLOGY Featured in Esquire Magazine, HO Skis' V-Bottom Technology incorporates a boat hull inspired V-Bottom feature located in the center portion of the ski’s bottom surface. The V-Bottom stabilizes the skis allowing them to track exceptionally well for both deep water starts and open water cutting. Having a pair of skis that track on deep water starts is paramount in keeping ski tips straight and body position controlled for an enjoyable learning experience from the first pull. Once the skis are up, the V-Bottom feature continues to help skiers by inspiring confidence and control in side-to-side cuts. Great for beginning and progressing, HO Skis with V-Bottom technology will get you up and having a Blast in no time.

KNEEBOARD COLLECTION PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: FRANKIE PANNO’S COLLECTION Frankie Panno is kneeboarding. Over the past five seasons Frankie has been on fire, literally. Whether pulling crazy stunts like fire starts, tree bonks and boat gaps, to winching with the Byerly Familia, to producing his feature length films Panno has been slowly rewriting the future of kneeboarding. It hasn’t all been fun in the sun for Panno. Behind the scenes Panno has been in the workshop overhauling the antiquated kneeboard product line into his own personal showcase. From the debut of the industry changing Agent kneeboard to his all-new 2014 PannoLock double locking knee strap, Frankie has slowly been upping the ante on what to expect from kneeboard products. 2014 marks Frankie’s greatest contribution to the sport of kneeboarding with his all new PannoShock; an inflatable shock system that cushions massive airs and relieves pressure off ankles, knee's and lower back for effortless riding.

INFLATABLE COLLECTION PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: MOLECULE SERIES HO Sports, the pioneers of the Patented Sphere Technology, are at it again! Using the tried and true Molecule as a platform, we went back to the drawing board with the goal of expanding on the popularity of our Sphere Series of towables. Using the same 44” spheres as the classic Molecule, we’re proud to introduce the newest members of the Molecule family – the Molecule 2D and Molecule 3S. The 2D, which stands for 2 Ball / Deck Series, is the best performing deck tube ever. The spheres keep the front part of the deck off the water while its’ tail-dragger design is a snap to re-board after a fall. The 3S, or 3 Ball / Sphere Series (pictured), uses the same technology as the original Molecule to achieve performance never before seen in a towable. Both of these tubes have been tested to the vigorous standards of our testing team and are sure to be head turners on your local waterway.

TUBE FEATURES MAXIMUM NUMBER OF RIDERS: Follow capacity guidelines for best results. Do not overload your tube!

NUMBER OF STEM VALVES: A stem valve is the small, one-piece valve that everyone used as a kid to blow up a beach ball.

NEOPRENE PADDING: Neoprene is used to increase the comfort of the ride.

QUICK TOW ATTACHMENT: This allows you to quickly attach the tow-rope to the tube.

ONE YEAR WARRANTY: We stand behind every product we design. Our warranty is unsurpassed in the industry.

NUMBER OF BOSTON VALVES: A Boston valve is the standard high-capacity valve used on all our upper-end inflatables. (Helpful Hint: Make sure they’re tight! Screw’em in all the way, and thread’em correctly)

HO SPHERE TECHNOLOGY PROBLEM:

As towables get larger, the surface area contacting the water increases. Increased contact creates more drag. Increased drag requires more energy to whip the tube behind the boat and causes a slower, less exciting ride. In general, most larger tubes a) are less lively, b) are harder to whip, c) require more energy to tow, and d) cause more strain on the boat.

SOLUTION: HO SPHERE TECHNOLOGY™

Given the problem above, designing large tubes has typically meant creating a larger version of a smaller existing tube. Patented HO Sphere Technology™, however, opens up doors to a whole new way of thinking. The problem of drag is solved by reducing the surface area contacting the water. This design process is evident in the HO Molecule, Molecule 2D and Molecule 3S tubes. These Sphere Technology™ tubes have large spheres arrayed at the corners of the main deck. The spheres suspend the deck of the tube off of the surface of the water, leaving the bottom of the spheres as the main point of contact with the water. The result is a) a more lively ride, b) large size, yet easy to whip, c) less energy required to tow, and d) less strain on the boat.
