the ride smooth and 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!

Syndicate Course Skis 34 and 36 mph Specific Skis for Championships, Records and Personal Bests

Why 2 Skis? 2 Speeds As tournament “course” skiers we complete at 34 and 36 mph and although the slalom course doesn’t change everything else does when you change the speed of the boat. The feel of the water, the amount of support at the finish of the turn, even the line we ski through the course changes relative to boat speed. That is why every detail of the Syndicate A and S Series skis are fine-tuned for their specific speed; giving you the peace of mind that you own the best.

Freeride Skis Clean Edge Technology 50% Less Drag than Conventional Skis, for Comfortable Skiing at Wakeboard Speeds Clean Edge Technology allows the water to release “cleanly” from the bottom surface of the ski without wrapping up around the sidewall of the ski. This “clean” release of the water reduces ski drag up to 50% over conventional ski design. You are now able to enjoy carving turns at wakeboard speeds, in any water condition, without your ski holding you back.

Liner-Less

Base-Less

Weight-Less

Your new pair of running shoes don’t have liners, why should your water ski boots? HO’s Liner-Less technology allows our boots to be the thinnest, sleekest and lowest drag boots on the market. While the unibody construction (fusing of liner and shell) eliminates the “side to side” sheering of competitors’ boots for maximum lateral support and instant response.

HO’s Base-Less Aluminum Boot Design allows the skiers feet to stand directly on the ski surface creating a one to one connection between skier and ski. The ski comes alive under the skier’s feet. The subtle details of edge pressure and ski edge angle can be felt and fine-tuned by the skier as they work the ski down the lake.

“The industry’s lightest “closed toe” boots.” “The industry’s highest strength to weight ratio boot line…” Engineered to maximize the support and power where skiers need it and minimize material where they don’t. Compliment your super light-weight ski with the industry’s lightest boots.

HO SPHERE TECHNOLOGY PROBLEM:

•

SURFACE AREA CONTACTING WATER

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 and HO Ion 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 only 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.

SPHERE TECHNOLOGY Another great benefit of HO Sphere Technology™ is unsurpassed shock absorption, making the Molecule and the Ion the best tubes in the world for rough and open water! SURFACE AREA CONTACTING WATER

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.

Quick tow attatchment: This allows you to quickly attach the towrope to the tube.
