Direct Contact Review

I have two words for the experience of this new set-up: radical and touch.

The RADICALNESS comes from the binding structure. The piece of carbon under the heel gives immediate feedback from your movement to the ski. The fact that the boot is now on the ski increases that perception.

The TOUCH is the direct correlation from removing a layer between your foot and the ski. It just feels different. You feel more from the water going through the ski directly to your foot. There must be something there. I heard that Andy Mapple used to cut the bottom of his rubber bindings to have his foot directly on the ski. I don’t know if it’s true, but it would make sense in that search for increasing the sensation and leverage on your ski. Reflex has once again introduced something that could change our skiing.

The Waterski Pro Tour is working hard to promote the sport inside the industry! There is now a battle of ski brands, which is quite exciting because each brand can only name three athletes to its team The competition for first place will be fierce, and will require complete focus from the team skiers to earn the extra points to attain the crown for best ski brand of the year!
