HO Couture Slalom Water Ski 2012

Break free from tradition and hop on the Couture for the ultimate slalom course of free skiing experience. The Couture utilizes HO's Step Concave Technology which drastically reduces drag and the amount of physical effort required to ski it. 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 she can enjoy longer more efficient ski rides. The Couture Team also demanded a departure from old school thinking on women’s ski shapes. The past philosophy of wider skis to accommodate slower speeds was tossed out the window. HO's team specified a traditional width slalom ski that cuts through the wake as opposed to bouncing over them. The Couture delivers and 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. Combine these features with a woman’s specific construction and flex pattern and you get the Couture - a ski developed by HO's Couture Team from start to finish.
