I ve grown up in the sport of showskiing watching Zane Schwenk trying crazy stuff like the first ever double fronts or back-halfs off the ramp when the freestyle jump scene was going. I ve been a part of several pro ski shows and traveled the world performing in them. I started riding the wakeskis about a year ago and am pumped about the enthusiasm HO is bringing to this new sport. I want to spend this year trying to get more people riding wakeskis and to keep pushing the level of riding further.

Pete Kuhlmann has been involved with the development of Wakeskiing from the beginning, testing our original prototypes and launching the Wakeski movement. Pete was the first guy I know of who was doing flips, spins, switch entries, etc on Wakeskis and we re ever grateful. With an extensive background in show skiing, he had all the skills to make Wakeskiing look great from the get go. As I ve come to know him better though, I ve got the sense that riding wakeskis is where his heart is. This past September at the Inaugural WakeSki Open I asked Pete what he thought afterwards and he simple said, It was the most fun he d had on skis in a long time with a big smile.

I grew up in a small town in Minnesota, show skiing in the summer and snow skiing in the winter. So when wakeskiing hit it was the best of both worlds. HO has opened up the gates for this new sport and is really made things happen. I think that everyone has some new tricks that are going to be thrown down this season. I think double flips and big spins will happen this year. It is fun to ski with the rest of the HO team because we all push each other to try new things and build the best product out there. It seams like every time I go out with the guys some new trick is landed. When I am not out skiing at OWC, I am going to school full time at USF.

My wake riding is alright, I want to learn some new stuff behind the boat this year and push that side of the sport a bit more this year. Riding behind the boat is a lot of fun, I think there are many possibilities to progress and invent new tricks behind the boat. As far as where the wake riding is now, I think it s pretty good. Guys have the natural and backside 3 s down, I ve landed some backside 5 s as well. people are doing Raley s and glides and all sorts of inverts which is cool to see since the sport is so new and many of us have had limited time on the water behind the boat.

. Ion . Ion
Behold the latest addition to the HO Sphere Tech line of tubes, the monstrous ION! Never before has a tube this large been possible without placing incredible strain on your boat. The 4-person Ion uses HO Sphere Technology to suspend the deck of the tube off the water leaving the spheres as the sole point of contact. This dramatically reduces surface area on the water making the ION the fastest big tube out there. The new four ball design takes the rider weight and distributes that force equally over the entire tube resulting in a tube that is more stable and less likely to sag in the center. With sphere tech tubes taking over the waterways, get yours fast before you are left out in the cold.

. Couture Collective . Couture Collective
In the past few years our Women s Team, or Couture Collective, have been pushing us to design a ski specifically for them. The Couture comes from the 65 Coefficient X mold, a decision made by April Coble Breanne Wagner because it delivers what they have been seeking. The Couture utilizes our Step Concave Technology which drastically reduces drag and the amount of physical effort required to ski it. The Step Concave introduces a very small amount of turbulence into the concave, which interrupts the boundary layer, freeing the water molecules and thereby allowing the ski to move through the water with a decreased Coefficient of Drag. The result is a more efficient ski shape that minimizes the amount of physical effort required by the skier so she can enjoy longer more efficient ski rides.

Variable Retention System (VRS) Binding: The intelligence behind the system, the world s first water ski specific binding: The VRS Binding utilizes a combination of Dual Spring and Quick Cam Technology to create controlled retention and consistent release. Dual Spring technology concentrically coils two differently powered springs inside one another. The outer, less powerful spring is compressed to create retention for lighter weight skiers. As skier weight increases, the inner, more tightly coiled spring begins to compress providing the required retention skiers demand. Quick Cam Technology utilizes a caming mechanism to transform the rotary motion of the heel release unit into a linear compression of the dual springs. It acts like a light switch. The system is 100 engaged while in skiing position. When the skier gets out of position, as in an out the front type fall, the resulting torque force flicks the light switch to the off position providing the skier a clean consistent release from the ski. The Quick Cam Technology can be felt and heard in the powerful Whack of the cam engaging, providing the comfort of knowing your system is secure and ready for skiing. The EXO Frame is an extruded aluminum frame linking the toe and heel assemblies of the VRS binding as well as the connection point of the EXO Shells to the system. The EXO Frame utilizes a Free Float Design to reduce the impact the EXO Shells have on longitudinal ski flex. Consider for a moment a slalom ski sitting on a dock. It is in a completely unloaded state. Now consider the shape a slalom ski takes as you cut back and forth behind the boat. The opposing forces of water pressure and skier load bend your ski into a loaded state. Unlike any other plate design on the market, the EXO Frame achieves its neutral condition while your ski is in its loaded position by implementing an over rocker shape in comparison to your ski unloaded rocker line. Under skiing conditions, the system is complete and all components are working together to create pure ski flex.

. HO Attack Boot . HO Attack Boot
As water ski boots have transitioned from rubber binders to textile footwear great improvements have been made in ease of entry and overall boot comfort, but has performance been sacrificed? Not any more. Meet the all new 2012 Attack boots! The Attack utilizes a Unibody Construction and a 1Piece 3D molded tongue to deliver unmatched lateral ski edging power. Traditional ???Stitch to??? boots are made of a liner inside of a synthetic leather shell. Because the liner and textile shell are not connected there is a large amount of sheering between the two and the lateral support of the boot is much lower than desired. Unibody construction mechanically attaches the soft comfortable liner with the powerful textile shell to eliminate shearing and maximize lateral support and edge power. The Attack also utilizes the 1Piece 3D molded tongue to provide positive feedback to forward ankle flexion allowing the skier to let the Attack boot support them shifting their weight forward on the ski for more efficient skiing. Combine this with the industry??™s only Baseless Aluminum Frame, ultra lean, water ski specific design, and you have marriage of finesse and power seen in no other hybrid boot on the market.

. HO Basis Boot . HO Basis Boot
Just because you don t ski for a living doesn t mean you can t have support from your water ski boot. That was the thinking behind the all new 2012 Basis boot. Built with the same Unibody Construction, 1Piece 3D molded tongue and Baseless Aluminum Frame of the Attack boot in a softer, more comfortable model, the all new Basis boot outperforms its competitor s high-end boots at a fraction of the cost. Unibody Construction and the 1Piece molded tongue allow the boot to support the skier giving the skier improved balance and increased control. While the plush liner, soft foot bed and floating tongue make comfort, fit, and ease of entry second to none. The Basis combines the support you need to progress your skiing with the comfort to enjoy every moment on the water.

. HO Triumph . HO Triumph
If you are one of those skiers trying to maximize performance out of your 10-year old shred stick you owe it to yourself to ride the all new, completely redesigned 2012 Triumph. The new Triumph uses a combination of Step Concave technology, Over-Sized shape and Syndicate thoroughbred linage to create the highest performance shaped ski in its class. As a traditional ski moves through the water it drags with it a thin layer of water molecules that cling to the ski s bottom contributing significantly to ski drag. The Step Concave design uses a number of micro steps along the bottom concave which disrupt the water molecules, freeing them from the ski s wetted surface resulting in reduced drag and less physically demanding ski rides. The high performance Syndicate inspired Hybrid Concave design, 50 carbon fiber construction and the peace of mind that each ski is hand built in the USA ensures the all new Triumph has no equal from dawn patrol sets to INT National Championships.

. Syndicate A2 . Syndicate A2
The Syndicate A1 evolved, its design refined over two seasons of professional and amateur tournament domination. The Syndicate A2 employs all new Variable Concave Technology providing maximum speed and angle with safety to match. Traditional skis use one concave radius along their entire length. With the A2 this concave radius changes: larger radius and shallower concave depth in the tail for increased speed, smaller radius and deeper concave depth under the boots for maximum angle creation and back to a larger radius in the tip to keep the front of the ski up and moving without excess tip bite. Larger radii create lift fore and aft of the boot region and act as an Auto-Centering safety for the skier. When too far back at the finish of the turn, the increased tail lift helps to drive the ski tip down thereby allowing the skier to accelerate sooner off the buoy and stay in the pass. When the skier climbs over the front of the ski at the finish of the turn increased tip lift allows the ski to continue to move through the finish of the turn without stopping or overturning due to excess tip bite. Feel the difference on the water and ride what champions ride.

. Syndicate S2 . Syndicate S2
Asher, Travers and Brown ski 36mph. The LaPoint s, Badal and Nowlan ski 34mph. But they all like winning tournaments. Meet the all-new 2012 Syndicate S2. Designed for the fast, low drag ride that Big Dawgs covet, the S2 has a quicker turn shape than the A2 while still maintaining the stability Syndicate skis are known for. Speed is created by a combination of Step Concave technology and all new Low Taper Shape. Step Concave technology introduces micro steps running down the concave surface on the bottom of the ski. These micro steps free the water molecules that adhere to the wetted surfaces of a traditional ski and give the S2 the low drag, fast ride skiers dream of. The second ingredient is the all new Low Taper shape. Traditional water skis have a large amount of taper from the wide point of the ski towards a narrow tail. The S2 has a Low Taper shape that narrows at a much slower rate thereby increasing the amount of surface area in the back half of the ski. As a result when a skier makes an aggressive turn and a traditional ski stops, looses it forward momentum, and gets stuck in a hole before accelerating the S2 has the surface area to support aggressive turn and keep driving the ski forward for instant acceleration. Less stop and go skiing, and a more efficient line is achieved on the all new S2.
