FUSION FREERIDE SLALOM SKI | UNRESTRICTED CARVABILITY

Your absolute best days on the lake are those days when you're at the end of the handle, leaned over, in a perfect dance with the boat, on a rocket ride to the other side of the wakes. That feeling is indescribable… and it's a feeling you can only get while freeriding on the water. The Freeride Fusion is a cross between all the things that make HO's Freeride line so successful and the best crossover ski on the market, the Omni. Its clean edge tail and low drag design specifically enhance the skiing experience on variable speeds and water conditions. The wide platform makes it super stable, allowing you to easily master new skills without sacrificing those smooth as butter edge to edge transitions. The end result is a ride unlike any other: the easiest deep water starts on the planet, silky smooth wake crossings, and the performance and stability of the best-in-class Omni. Ski behind virtually any watercraft, on nearly any waterway. For 2021, HO has included the new Asher Balance fin and Switchblade Fin System. Shaped by top pro Will Asher, the Balance Fin features a reduced fin length for quick turn rotation combined with a new distribution of surface area for great cross course direction. The Switchblade system takes the guesswork out of fin settings, no calipers needed! Just swap in a new blade shape and you're ready to experience new performance characteristics from your ski.
