A new PVC foam core under modern carbon laminates makes it lighter and sharper than the fibreglass Omni, and it carries the Syndicate adjustable fin rather than a fixed one. Same crossover intent, a good deal more ski.\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\u003eNew PVC Foam Core:\u003c\/b\u003e New for 2027. Lighter and stiffer than the polyurethane core in the standard Omni, which is what lets the ski hold a harder edge without more length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eModern Carbon Laminates:\u003c\/b\u003e Second-generation carbon Omni. Carbon gives you response and less weight to swing, at the cost of some of the forgiveness glass provides.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e4-Stage Rocker Line:\u003c\/b\u003e Dual flat spots for stability and acceleration, the same rocker thinking that runs through the whole 2027 Omni family.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eClean Edge Tail:\u003c\/b\u003e HO measure it at 50 per cent less drag. Acceleration without having to drive the ski as hard through the finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHigh Volume Concave and Larger Bevels:\u003c\/b\u003e Hold and forgiveness from the concave, stability and acceleration from the bevels. This is what keeps a carbon ski usable in chop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSyndicate Adjustable Fin:\u003c\/b\u003e The adjustable fin from the tournament skis, with a 7 degree wing, rather than the fixed Omni fin. It can be properly dialled in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eHO call this their top-end crossover, and that is a fair description. It is quick and precise enough to run a course seriously, and efficient enough to free ski open water without feeling like hard work. If you have outgrown the standard Omni and are not ready to commit to a tournament ski, this is the step. Who it isn't for: a beginner should stay on the glass Omni, which forgives far more. A dedicated course skier chasing short line wants a Works or the Omni Pro.\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  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e67\":\u003c\/b\u003e riders 68-91 kg · 66.89\" long · 7.12\" wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e69\":\u003c\/b\u003e riders 91-113 kg · 68.78\" long · 7.32\" wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWeights converted from HO's published pounds.

The Ultra runs a PVC foam core with carbon laminates and the adjustable Syndicate fin. The Omni is glass over polyurethane with a fixed fin: heavier and less sharp, but more forgiving and tougher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhich size should I be on?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUp to about 68 kg the 65, from 68 to 91 kg the 67, and 91 to 113 kg the 69.
