The HO Sports Omni Slalom Ski is a high versatility, do-everything ski. The Omni marries high performance skiing with the efficiency needed for open water skiing. Constructed using a traditional fiberglass polyurethane core to create a stable feel that is forgiving in less than ideal water conditions. This allows the ski to twist creating tighter turns while added width provides the stable platform skiers need. The Omni was designed with a Hybrid Waist Width, halfway between those typically found in traditional skis and those in wideride skis. This provides for smooth instinctive turns at a wide range of speeds. Clean Edge Technology reduces drag 50% by allowing water to release cleanly off the bottom of the ski. The result is a fast moving highly efficient ski with the handling required for tight line turns. The Omni also features a SpeedSkin base, fish-scale inspired advanced laminar textured ski base reduces ski drag and increases ski speed by breaking up water molecules during ski to water contact. The Omni Slalom successfully combines pro-level performance with open water skiing efficiency.
