Smooth, predictable and easy to trust from the moment you lean away from the boat. Radar built this one for skiers coming back to the water, and it shows.\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\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHigh-Speed Flow Line:\u003c\/b\u003e Straighter lines from the wide point through the tail create a more efficient path for water across the ski. Less drag, less resistance — so it holds speed and connection across the wakes even when the boat is slower than a course speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdded Width Outside the Tunnel:\u003c\/b\u003e Four-tenths of an inch more than the Vapor shape it's based on. That's what creates the lift and support at slower speeds, and why the ski feels stable the second you load the line rather than five metres later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAll-Terrain Core:\u003c\/b\u003e Polyurethane with integrated paulownia wood stringers.

The Union is for the skier getting back on the water after a few years off, or the one who's done with fighting a narrow ski to get out of the hole. Speed window is 24–32 mph (40–52 kph), so it works behind a family boat that isn't holding tournament speed. It's still a real slalom ski — it rolls onto edge and carves properly, it just doesn't punish you for a slow start. If you're running a course consistently, step to a Senate; if you want to enjoy skiing again, this is the one.\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\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e65\":\u003c\/b\u003e up to 73 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e67\":\u003c\/b\u003e 59–86 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e69\":\u003c\/b\u003e 79–104 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e71\":\u003c\/b\u003e 100 kg+\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eBuy Now at Welcome Boardstore for the best in authentic Waterski gear and apparel.
