The HP has had years of R & D go into its design to create the perfect entry-level ski that can be handled by almost any level of skier. A Closed Cell PU Core allows the Concept to be stronger and more durable while also staying more forgiving out of turns. A fibreglass construction allows the ski to have a comfortable and forgiving natural flex, keeping smooth across the wake but still cutting deep through turns. Completed to perfection in the US of A, the HP has become the perfect entry point for skiers, with the capabilities to handle smooth and choppier water with ease.
The Shadow is the boot with comfort and freedom at the forefront of their mind, allowing for plenty of control from boot to ski. With a lycra toe and heel wrap, the Shadow provides a snug fit, but combine it with the plush EVA footbed, and you get a complete and comfortable package around your foot. Connelly produced their signature superlight baseplate to reduce weight so that you can maximise your performance with less weight underneath your foot and with a shorter cuff for added freedom.
Waterski Features
Rocker
- Broader Flat Spot – An increased flat spot from the tip of your front foot to the end of your back provides the ultimate stability; you’ll never feel off-balance or uncomfortable on a ski. And if you find yourself sitting too far back on a cut, it will automatically pivot you back to the centre.
- Continuous Rocker - Through the tip and tail allows the ski to always provide a constant level of speed across the wash and allows for a smooth, comfortable turn, drive through the wash, while still having the ability to easily keep that speed into your leading edge.
Flex
- Flex Rating(1=Soft, 10=Stiff) - 5/10
- Reactional Glass Flex Sequence - Works in tandem with the C.A.P.T tech; it is a softer flex profile that will flex and shape as you choose to move, giving you the ultimate control, all with absolute comfort.
Core
- Closed Cell PU Core – The most well-known core in waterskiing, with a tighter knit construction to reduce weight while remaining durable and providing a slightly softer feel meaning you can ski for longer, feeling less tired, while also getting more flex into turns and less rebound when crossing the wash
Laminates
- Fibreglass Laminates – The most forgiving top layer you can get, a simple fibreglass laminate allows the ski to provide a comfortable flex and smooth arcing turns.
Shape
- Traditional Angled Bevel - A traditional angled bevel throughout the whole ski keeps the motion from edge to turns comfortable and stable, reducing that locked-in feel across the wash, even when skiing at a slower speed.
- C.A.P.T. (Connelly Advanced Profile Technology) - The original profiled construction, allowing skis to reduce weight and specifically tailor a flex pattern to various points in the ski
Concave
- Tunnel Concave - The most traditional of shapes, great for entry-level skiers for its ability to stay straight when needed, meaning you can back it off and comfortably sit behind the boat. Despite this, it will perform and get on edge when you want the response.
