Same four-stage rocker line, same Clean Edge Tail, same forgiving glass and polyurethane build as the adult ski, sized and priced for someone still growing into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eKey Technical Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e4-Stage Rocker Line:\u003c\/b\u003e Dual flat spots for stability and acceleration.

Together they are what stop a bad edge turning into a fall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eClassic Construction: Fiberglass Polyurethane composite:\u003c\/b\u003e Glass over a polyurethane core.

A kid who can already get up and hold a line gets the same forgiving geometry adults ride, at a length and price that make sense while they are growing. Who it isn't for: a child still on two skis needs a combo pair first. And once they are past about 68 kg they have outgrown the single 65 and should move to the standard Omni.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSize Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e65\":\u003c\/b\u003e riders up to about 68 kg · 65.02\" long · 6.92\" wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eOne length only. The weight is converted from HO's published pounds and comes from their factory chart, which is the only source that carries this model.
