Radar Graphite Senate Slalom Ski w/ Double Vector BOA Bindings

Our Graphite construction sits in the middle of the Senate range. A durable polyurethane core wrapped in carbon composites makes sure no turn is lost and only speed is gained, giving the skier more connection to the water. An absolute ripper in the course and on open water; this ski excels between 28-34 MPH.

The Senate’s ability to carry speed is unmatched in the industry. This speed allows the skier to maintain width on the boat ultimately giving a sense of freedom sought after by those that ski in the course as well as those ripping open water turns. By taking our Vapor shape and adding two tenths of an inch in extra width we have created a stable riding platform. This platform creates the balance needed for a skier to feel at home, while the profile of the ski allows the skier to feel the speed and angle sought after at any level.

Features

• Aero Core - Forgiving and consistent response.
• 100% Carbon Fiber - Consistent flex every time.
• Suggested Speed - 28-34 MPH

Shape

• Shape 
  The first thing we addressed on the shape of the ski was the width profile, while keeping the max width of the ski the same; we added more radius to the profile to provide more pivot and rotational pull through the turn. We also added width behind the wide point to keep the ski more level and stable in the turn. This provides the ski with built in tip pressure and reduces the need to “climb” over the ski to make a turn. The ski is now able to move under the line at a quicker rate with a more natural feel. By reducing volume in the tail of the ski we were able to create more leverage that enables the whole ski to move better as a single unit through the turn. This results in attainable angle that can be carried all the way through the finish of the turn. The last adjustment in shape was the narrowing of the tip. This combined with our rocker line enables more bevel contact resulting in a secure feeling that lets you stand over the ski with confidence to rip turns and know the ski will move with you from apex to center line.  
  
• Rocker
  By increasing the taper of the rocker line fore and aft of the flat spot we enlarged the sweet spot of the ski even more. The flatter the rocker is underneath your feet the more improved feel and connection you have with your ski. Thus, allowing you to move yourself and the ski better as a single unit. A bigger platform also gives you the ability to be more reactive and dynamic with your movements, ultimately giving you the control to move in and out of the turn with power.  The lower rocker in the front half of the ski gives a truly unique feeling. By being flatter to the water you’re able to move over the ski with more confidence knowing that there is more contact, and support built into the ski. As you move over your feet the bevel is engaged and tighter, more consistent turns bring you back under the rope and cross course to the next buoy.   
  
• Concave
  We have been extremely happy with the concave we created in the previous shape. The deeper concave with a steeper entry gives the speed and side to side drive a Senate is known for having. Speed is only good if you can control it, and this concave also provides grip that allows the ski to naturally slow down as it enters the turn. This ultimately enables the ski to carry a more constant speed through the turn which improves your cadence and rhythm with the boat.  
  
• Bevel
  Sharpening the bevel from your feet forward has given the Senate more grip and control than any ski we’ve created to date. This helps the ski decelerate so it can make tighter, more up course turns. It’s important to note that these tighter turns are attainable due to the bevel transition built into the tail of the ski. By softening this bevel behind your feet, the ski can stay more balanced so that angle and drive are able to be maintained from the apex of the turn through centerline. 
  
• Thickness
  Sidewall height carries constant to provide balance. To keep the ski nimble the sidewall thickness is reduced which also produces the connected, tight turning radius of the ski.  
  
• Edge Angle
  At two tenths of an inch wider than the Vapor, the width of the Senate allows the ski to roll on edge at a moderate level. This width allows a skier to progress with ease as they instantly feel the balance and control of the bigger riding platform.

Boot Technology

Radar boot design has always been focused on improving your on-water experience through innovation and cutting-edge comfort. By utilizing a hybrid structure, we build a boot that truly wraps around your foot creating an ultimate connection to the ski. This connection results in a lossless power transfer and allows you to feel immediate engagement on the water. Whether you’re riding the premium Vapor boot, the legendary Vector or our entry level Prime, you’ll feel the difference that comes with riding a Radar boot.

• Feather Frame 2.0 Chassis
  The Feather Frame Chassis is the gold standard of comfort and function. Our one-of-kind framework stands on a pedestal as the only boot system to completely integrate the mounting system, baseplate, and outer shell seamlessly. This allows you to stand closer to the ski and offers a better connection to the water, resulting in greater performance. New for this year, the Feather Frame Chassis is modular to allow front and rear boots to be interchangeable. We have also manipulated the hole pattern in our rear boots to be compatible with every ski on the market. Every ski just got an upgrade!
  
• BOA®
  The BOA® integration into the boots offers an instant response found only in the Radar line. Transform your experience through a fast, customizable, and comfortable fit.
  
• Wrap Tech
  Wrap Tech fuses the external skeleton of the boot to the base textile layer which gives the boot the ability to conform to the shape of your foot, in turn giving you more response.
