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!

WE’VE FOUND THAT THERE ARE 3 BASIC TYPES OF SLALOM SKIERS BASED ON THEIR ENVIRONMENT AND PREFERENCE.

CROSS-OVER SKIER pg.12A 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.

FREE SKIER pg.26A 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 SKIER pg.06A 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.

are more than water skis. They represent the pride, determination and passion of the sports'

greatest minds and most talented athletes. For 2016, The Syndicate is proud to announce our

greatest slalom super-ski to date, the all new Syndicate V-TYPE R. Elliptical Rocker, Matching

Ski Width, Carbon SpeedSkin and Stability Tuning are the details, but the proof is on the water.

Why waste another day without knowing if the all-new 2016 V-TYPE R will help you reach the

score you dream of?

SURFACE CONTACT ON EDGE

LESS WIDTH MORE WIDTHMORE WIDTH

LESS CURVE MORE CURVEMORE CURVE

ELLIPTICAL ROCKERThe V-TYPE R rocker line is designed with a progressively changing elliptical arc. The result is a large radius arc in the center of the ski, for improved fore/aft stability and increased velocity, with smaller radii arcs in the tip and the tail for quick, tight radius turns.

MATCHING SKI WIDTH

100% EDGE BALANCE

When a water ski is rolled onto edge, it is balancing on the arc created by rocker line and ski width. In order to make the worlds most balanced water ski, the V-TYPE R's rocker and ski width match! A parallel ski width matches the lower rocker in the center of the ski. Increased tip and tail ski widths match the more curved tip and tail arcs of the elliptical rocker. Matching the V-TYPE R's ski width to its Elliptical Rocker, results in an amazing edge stability and balance.

CARBON FIBER SPEEDSKIN

A strategically located tip weight combined with an elastomer damping pad, dampens the natural frequency of the ski’s shovel for increased stability. This system reduces tip “chatter” or “feedback”, that can be caused by rough water at high speeds, resulting in a more confidence inspiring “quiet” feel for the skier.

New for 2016, HO Skis has taken the highly successful laminar textured ski base, SpeedSkin, and applied it directly to the carbon fiber base of the Syndicate skis! This new Carbon SpeedSkin not only reduces ski drag/increases ski speed, it also reduces ski weight by 20% by eliminating the ski base graphic material.

SYNDICATE V-TYPE RTHE WORLD'S MOST BALANCED WATER SKI

AVAILABLE IN: 64”/ 65” / 66”/ 67”/ 68”

FEATURES:- Elliptical Rocker : The V-TYPE R’s rocker line is built upon a progressively changing elliptical arc. A larger radius arc

in the center of the ski, with smaller radii arcs in the tip and tail, result in quick, tight radius turns.- Matching Ski Width: The ski width of the V-TYPE R is perfectly matched to its elliptical rocker line. Where the elliptical

rocker is flatter, the matching ski width is more parallel. In the tip and tail, where the elliptical rocker is more curved, the matching ski width has been increased. The result when the ski is rolled onto edge, is a new level of balance

- Carbon Speed Skin: Advanced laminar textured ski base, now with 20% less ski weight!- Stability Tuning: Adjustable vibration dampening system- Superlite Construction: a proprietary combination of aerospace carbon fiber and Superlite core technology- Handmade in Seattle, Washington, USA

A better ski for the type of skiing we love. Imagine the performance of a Syndicate ski, optimized

with a low drag tail, for effortless open water free skiing. Few things in life are as exciting as

whipping out on your pullout to see a mile of glass laid out in front of you. The acceleration.

The arcing carve. The tight line. You settle into that effortless rhythm and just wish it would

last forever. Imagine a water ski that could let you enjoy that moment for twice as long with

half the effort. That is exactly what the HO Skis Cross- Over Collection was designed to do. If

you are a water skier, you owe it to yourself to ride a HO Cross-Over Collection ski and create

your moments.

SYNDICATE PERFORMANCE

FREERIDECLEAN EDGETECHNOLOGYTAIL

TX = WIDERIDE VERSION OF CX,FOR LESS PHYSICAL EFFORT

CX = TRADITIONAL SKI WIDTH,FOR AGRESSIVE EDGE ANGLE

The ultimate in cross-over ski technology, skis designed to deliver maximum performance with unparalleled efficiency. The all-new 2016 Cross-

Over Collection marries the high performance design of a Syndicate ski, with the ultra-efficient Clean Edge technology of a Freeride ski. The all

new 2016 HO design team began with a record-breaking Syndicate ski 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 features allows the water to

release cleanly 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 a Syndicate ski 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 CX & SUPERLITE TX

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 2016 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.

Water skiers look at the world with a different set of eyes. Every lake, cove, river or puddle

we see, we wonder, could we ski here? More often than not, access to the right boat, less than

optimum water conditions and not having the right equipment for the job, stop us from exploring

the possibility. HO Skis imagines a world where every body of water can be skied! The Freeride

was created to do just that! The completely out-of-the-box design of the Freeride has rewritten

the rules for water ski speeds, boats and water conditions. The water ski future is now wide

open. Where will you take your skiing?

MARCUS BROWN / FREERIDE


FREERIDEDESIGN PHILOSOPHY

FREERIDE SHARK FIN

CLEAN EDGE LOCATION

FREERIDE FLEX

The Freeride comes equipped with the surf-inspired Shark Fin. A deeper overall fin depth provides unmatched hold and drive in choppy water conditions. While the cutout on the back of the fin reduces overall surface area and fin length for quick, tight turns.

Why does only half of my Freeride have CleanEdge? Clean Edge is a revolutionary technology that reduces drag by 50% over traditional skis. Less drag equals more lift and it is the lift on the rear 50% of the Freeride’s running length that allows it to be skied at wake boards speeds with low drag, low spray and low effort. From under the skiers front foot, up through the forebody of the ski, the Freeride utilizes a traditional slalom ski edge design. This traditional edge has greater drag, less lift and as a result rides deeper in the water for the stable, traditional feel skiers covet.

TRADITIONAL EDGE CLEAN EDGECLEAN EDGE

CLEAN EDGE TECHNOLOGY

TRADITIONAL SKI

FREERIDE SKI

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!

CLEAN WATER RELEASE FROM SKI EDGE

Traditional slalom course water skis have rounded-off bevels, mellow entry concaves and stiff flexes because they are designed to be slide around the buoy as much as carve. The Freeride is a carving machine! Clean Edge Technology, the steep-entry-concave, and Shark Fin provide unmatched edge hold, for pure carved turns. Similar to a snow ski, skiers are actually bending the Freeride into a more rockered shape to turn it. As a result, HO designed the Freeride Flex with a snow-ski-inspired flex pattern to allow effortless carves every time.

DIRECT CONNECTINSERTS

AIRCRAFT GRADE ALUMINUM

M6 HARDWARE

DIRECT CONNECT MOUNTING SYSTEMDirect Connect positions boot mounting hardware directly beneath the foot’s natural balance and mobility centers: the heel and ball of the foot. Direct Connect eliminates the traditional mounting plate, greatly reducing boot weight, boot drag, and the boot’s impact on ski flex. The result is a natural 1:1 skier-to-ski moment-of-inertia never experienced before on the water. Direct Connect allows the entire MAX Ski Boot Collection to redefine what can be expected from a water ski boot.

Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. – Antoine de Saint-Exupery

The MAX Ski Boot Collection was conceptualized, designed and created on this minimalist ideal. The 2016 vMAX, xMAX and freeMAX slalom ski

boots give skiers a window into the future of water ski boot form and function. Combining the art of traditional “old world” lasting techniques

with cutting edge footwear materials, HO has created the industry’s best fitting, most comfortable collection of water ski boots. The addition

of HO’s DirectConnect Mounting System pushes water ski boot performance to a new level, unobtainable with traditional boot plates. With

hundreds of hours of fit and on-water testing, the 2016 MAX Ski Boot Collection redefines what can be expected from a water ski boot.

MICRO ADJUSTMENT

The traditional boot plate, with its perimeter mounted hardware, creates an artificially leveraged slalom ski. As the skier’s center of mass shifts off the side of the ski in a typical slalom cut, the traditional boot plate imparts an abrupt push and pull force on the ski's edges. Similar to a light switch, the ski is either “on" or “off” edge. HO’s DirectConnect Mounting System replaces the traditional light switch with a modern dimmer switch! Imagine have ability to control the exact edge angle you desire, without being limited to the binary on/off edge pressure of a traditional boot plate. Just like an airplane rolls about its longitudinal axis, HO’s DirectConnect allows a slalom ski to roll about is longitudinal axis. The result is a natural edge angle feel where the skier is in completely control to choose desired edge angle.

Don’t let the marketing department fool you, no floating plate system eliminates a traditional boot plate’s effect on ski flex. HO’s DirectConnect System reduces the ski boot’s flex footprint dead spot by up to 50%. With DirectConnect, the ski is allowed to flex more closely to its intended design, allowing for smoother and tighter slalom turns.

For years slalom skiers have been able to adjust fin location to the thousandth of an inch. But at the same time, skiers have been limited to large incremental boot adjustment, due to the mounting holes on traditional boot plates. Not anymore! HO’s DirectConnect Mounting System allows skiers infinite fore and aft boot adjustment. Now skiers can fine tune boot position as accurately as fin location, ensuring optimum ski setup. In addition, DirectConnect allows for up to +/- 7 degrees of boot rotation. The days of limiting your natural slalom stance, due to your boot plate hanging over the side of the ski, are over!

DESIGN

What Type of Skier Are You? Course, Cross or Free?

This mantra drives the design behind each of the 2016 MAX Ski Boot Collection models. The spectrum from competitive slalom water skiing to recreational

open water freeskiing is more diverse than just about any other sport. Watching Will Asher and Jon Travers attack a slalom course at 41off is a different

world from carving up the lake behind your uncles runabout. It is for this very reason that HO specifically tailors each of our water ski boots for the type

of skiing you choose. Take a look below at the latest improvements to our 2016 collection, along with the features which define the ride for the type of

skiing you do!

Do you ever get jealous of watching all the wake boarders flip, spin and press their way through

a cable park? We at HO Skis do as well! We’ve witnessed the explosion of freestyle snow skiing in

the terrain parks at our home snow ski mountains and think it is about time that trend is carried

onto the water. It is this dream that was the inspiration for our all new 2016 Cable Collective

of water riding devices! Freestyle and First-Timer sets of skis and kneeboards built with the

latest and greatest cable specific constructions, so now you can enjoy the cable experience

like your wake brethren.
