Have you mastered getting up and skiing on a pair of combo skis, or taken your friends HO Hovercraft out and had a great time? If you are looking to kick things up a notch, these skis will be a great stepping stone to progress your skiing, while still providing easier deep water starts as well as plenty of control and balance while on plane.
1. Radar Session
The Session is widest ski on the list, thus providing the easiest deep water starts and the most stable ride. The Session is a great ski for those who are looking to cruise the open water and start making some of their first solid turns. The Session has a level spine and grip rails which reduce drag, making it easier on your arms while being pulled behind the boat. The All-Terrain construction makes this ski a great option for those days when the lake just doesn't seem to want to stay calm.
(Best skied between 20 and 30mph)
2. Radar Union
The Union is a favorite over at the Radar headquarters, and with some of the ski's unique qualities, it's easy to see why. The Union is four tenths of an inch wider than the Vapor, giving the skier a great sense of balance while learning to progress their skiing to a higher level. The forgiving all terrain core will allow you to take this ski out in less-than-ideal conditions and still have a blast. As far as open water skis go, you'd be hard pressed to find a more enjoyable ride than the Union.
(Best skied between 24-32mph)
3. HO Omni Wide
New for 2022 is the HO Omni Wide. Adding width to one of HO’s most popular shapes, this ski has the extra surface area needed to provide easier starts and more stable turns. The Omni was designed with a Hybrid Waist Width, halfway between those typically found in traditional skis and those in wideride skis. This provides smooth instinctive turns at a wide range of speeds. The Omni also features a deep concave and a continuous rocker line which will give you more stability and intuitive turns.
(Best skied between 24-34mph)
