WOMEN’S SLALOM WATER SKI ROUND UP

There are a lot of options in the world of water skiing. We’re here to narrow those options down and make sure you get a great ski fit for your needs and abilities. Women’s water skis come in a range of sizes and abilities. The biggest question to answer is, what type of skier are you?

THE BEGINNER & CASUAL FREERIDER

You love to get out and water ski. Maybe you don’t get to do it enough or, maybe the slower speeds are all you’re looking for (we can’t all be adrenaline junkies). You’ll be looking for a ski with a bit wider body and less aggressive edge characteristics. The Radar Session is a great place to start. Combining extra width for stability and Radar's Grip Rails, you’ll spend less time fighting to get up and more time enjoying every turn. If you’re a seasoned skier but still looking to ski slower, check out the Radar Union. Featuring a more traditional feel and a slightly narrower shape than the Session, you will be laying down amazing turns without getting too tired after a long set.

THE INTERMEDIATE SKIER

Skiing is your passion. You might not be competing, but that doesn’t mean you don’t want a great turning, hard-charging water ski. You’re confident in your abilities and you’re skiing anywhere from 28-34 mph. It’s time to check out the HO Omni and the Radar Lyric. The Radar Lyric is a time tested swerving machine. This is our #1 selling ladies ski year after year. You can have as much fun on this ski out in the open water as you can in the course. A fantastic blend of balance and edge hold make for one wicked combination. The HO Omni was introduced in 2018 and hit the market hard. Easy up & easy on the body. The HO Omni has less drag than most skis and makes for a great ski that you can stay out on longer

THE COURSE CRUSHER

You’re in it to win it and you need a ski that can keep up with you. It’s time to take a look at the Vapor series and the Syndicate Series. Sure, these aren’t “women’s specific” skis, but who cares? You can keep up with anyone regardless if your slalom ski is pink or black. Not looking to drain your entire bank account? The Vapor line is offered in 3 different constructions. You can get a lighter, more forgiving ski in the Vapor Graphite or step it all the way up the Vapor Pro for the ultimate in reactivity and performance. From HO, take a look at the all new Syndicate Pro, a course ski perfect for the technically advanced skier.
