O'Brien Sixam SS 2008 Slalom Water Ski
O"™Brien is ready to usher in a new age in ski design. In the past, ski designers developed one size of a ski and then scaled that ski to longer or shorter lengths to accommodate skiers of different sizes. O"™Brien is changing that and now looks at the needs of skiers in a different way, developing skis one length at a time. While this is a far more time consuming and expensive way to develop skis, it will ultimately bring to market a better line of skis that has never seen before. The new O"™Brien Sixam SS is the fastest ski they've ever built; yet it still finishes turns better than ever. You simply will not believe how early and wide you arrive at every buoy and how much angle you achieve coming out of the turn. With each length of ski going through an individual re-design process, each ski length has seen changes on everything from transitional bevels to rocker and flex patterns developed to make you ski your best. The new Sixam SS series is a quantum leap on the evolutionary scale of water skis. Blank.Features:TRANSITIONAL BEVEL "“ Two stage bevel on the Sixam SS is well defined in the forebody and transitions to a more continuous round. This is part of what gives the SS such incredible speed, yet still allows for smooth, forgiving turns.ROCKER PATTERN "“ The Sixam SS has less rocker than its predecessors, making it blazing fast with even less effort! With a perfectly designed flat spot under the front foot, this ski is still able to retain the amazing stability that the Sixam name is known for.FULL CONCAVE "“ The Sixam SS has a full radius continuous concave but with 3/16"¯ holding flats at each side that enable the ski to roll edge to edge effortlessly, making early edge changes a breeze!TORSION DESIGNED TOP GEOMETRY "“ The top geometry on the Sixam SS is not just for looks. The top of the ski has been computationally optimized to give the ski tremendous torsional stiffness while remaining extremely light.CIRRUS CORE TECHNOLOGY "“ The Sixam SS uses a specially formulated CNC machined core for the ultimate in lightweight and unparalleled responsiveness and energy return.Lengths: 66", 67.5", 69"
