V
Ski bottom innovation has been stalled for too many years. Connelly wanted a 34 mph ski that worked better for the skier than any of the old designs on the market. Their testing and performance on the water confirmed that 6 V shaped steps from front to back is far superior to any other design. These steps grace the edge-to-edge tunnel of the ski, which reduces drag and helps speed with less wetted surface area. The result is a smooth quiet ride that is freer in the turns and quicker reacting. A narrower tail sits deeper in the water creating a more symmetric turn and less bounce across the wake. This is the smoothest most forgiving 34 mph ski on the market. It looks better, feels better, skis better.

HO Skis
HO Syndicate A2
The brand new HO Syndicate A2 slalom ski is an evolution of HO Sports’ highly successful A1, which was the company’s best selling ski during its life span. The biggest difference between the two slalom skis is the A2’s new variable concave bottom. At the bindings, the concave of the A2 is the same as that of the A1, so the A2 has all the grip and edge power of the A1. But the A2 features a shallower concave at the tip and tail, giving it additional lift and speed. Designer Bob LaPoint also added more rocker in the tail, giving the A2 a quicker onside turn. The Syndicate A2 features HO Sports’ premier construction, including an incredibly lightweight PVC core and 100-percent carbon fiber reinforcements.
Binding Options: Exo, Animal
Sizes: 66.5 ad 67.5

HO Syndicate S1
Bob LaPoint and the Syndicate Team have refined the very successful Syndicate A1 shape specifically for speed. The result is the Syndicate S1. Designed specifically for the speed, turn support and line you’ve been dreaming of.
Analysis of the tournament market has determined two unique skier styles and resulting skier tastes in slalom skis. Some skiers prefer skis that ride deeper in the water, have a tip down attitude and more of a “carving" turn shape. Other skiers choose skis the that ride higher in the water, require less physical exertion and have quicker more “skidded" turn shapes.
The S1 design produces its specific type of on-water attitude by employing a 32mph to 34mph specific hybrid concave design. By utilizing a 5.75% smaller bevel, narrower traction rail width and a 17% shallower concave depth, the S1 delivers a faster, lower drag, quicker, more “skidded" turn shape, all without sacrificing the stability and predictability the A1 has become famous for.
Binding Options: Exo, Animal

HO Coefficient X
The single largest difference between the skis of the future and the skis of ten years ago is the amount of physical effort required by the skier to ride them. The Coefficient X introduces the first major departure from the traditional concave bottom ski of the last 70 years; Step Concave Technology. When a traditional ski moves through the water it drags along with it a layer of water molecules that stick to the bottom of the ski. 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 he or she can enjoy longer more efficient ski rides.
The Coefficient X achieves its unparallel stability by utilizing a significantly deeper concave, pintail geometry and 5-Stage rocker line. Each of these design elements holds the ski to the water surface, so the step concave and smaller bevel design can dictate the line between carve and slide for the ultimate slalom course of free skiing line.
Binding Options: Animal, Alpha

HO Muse
The dimensions of the Muse makes it easier to ski on but what may not be so apparent is the performance inherent in their design. HO found a bevel design that works incredibly well on our high-end skis and have adapted that to work on their wider skis as well. The round bevel in the back 1/3 of the ski graduates to a crisp 45 degrees on the front 2/3’s. This initiates the turn easily, sets a secure edge, then accelerates away in a heartbeat. This bevel design also creates straight-line tracking which means if you want to relax and ride the ski alongside the wake without being on edge you can - comfortably.
Unique to the Muse is the Power V bottom which runs from the tip of the ski to the heel of the back foot. This gives the ski more purchase with the water in a hard turn or rough water and also creates lift for tracking and easier deep water starts. If you want to slow down your boat speed and make skiing easier on the body and a kick in the pants at the same time the Muse is calling your name.
