About HO Sports Women's Fusion Freeride w/FreeMax

This 3rd generation Freeride, the Freeride Fusion, allows for smooth carving and unrestricted creativity in chop. HO Sports infused properties from high performance crossover skis into the best-selling Freeride ski program. Ski behind virtually any watercraft with ease while ripping off fluid turns big or small. The wide platform makes it super stable and easy to progress on without sacrificing those smooth as butter edge to edge transitions. HO Sports 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. The new settings are built into the blade. HO Sports done the work for you.

Women's specific flex 30% softer flex to maximize feel for more finesse skiers. Spoon tip provides more buoyant, easy planning surface. Hybrid edge design clean edge technology tail for efficiency and traditional beveled forebody for stability. Clean edge technology reduces drag 50% by allowing water to release cleanly off the bottom of the ski. This differs from conventional edges where water wraps around the bevel, up the sidewall and releases off the upper edge creating suction. The clean edge bevel-less tail produces more acceleration with less skier input. In addition, HO Sports enhanced stability by maintaining more bevel between the rear foot and fin. The result is a fast moving highly efficient ski with the handling required for tight line turns. Clean edge technology is bevel-less and the sidewalls are rotated inward like wakeboard edge, causing water to release cleanly off the ski's bottom surface. This results in a 50% less drag than conventional skis. This low drag back half of the ski means more lift, easier get-ups, less spray & less effort!

The traditional beveled edge in the Freerides front half allows water to wrap around the bottom of the ski and up the sidewall where it finally releases off the ski's top edge. This rounded edge rides deeper in the water for the stability skiers need. HO Sports Freeride is available in multiple lengths depending on the rider's weight range. The 63" (160cm) is designed for skiers weighing up to 110 lbs. (50 kg), the 65" (165cm) is designed for skiers weighing from 110 lbs. to 150 lbs. (50 kg to 68 kg), and the 67" (170.2cm) is designed for skiers weighing over 150 lbs. (68 kg). Ski is designed for recommended tow speeds from 24 mph to 28 mph (38.6 kph to 45 kph).

The super easy to use slip them on and enjoy the ride water ski boots are back! Dual lace zones with a low drag bungee upper and static lace in the lower lace zone that locks down the skier's foot for precision control. The removable footbed anchoring system makes mounting quick and simple while the Direct Connect Mounting System offers unmatched natural edge angle, a short flex footprint and micro adjustment. The freeMAX's unibody construction means no complexity of a liner, just low maintenance boots that fit great. Perfect for open water skiing of all types, the freeMAX boots offer a relaxed fit for an easy-going ride. The boot has a lower 6.9" (175mm) cuff height for increased flexibility and comfort. SBR closed cell foam liner for a natural rubber feel. Composite textile shell is reinforced in the Achilles spine and heel cup for improved durability. Softened over the instep and cuff wings for a more secure fit. 0.4" (10mm) thick, zero-drop, contoured footbed provides a solid platform for improved balance.

This adjustable rear kicker employs a Marshmallow Foam Liner for amazing out-of-the-box comfort and pairs great with the freeMAX boot. The ART's easy to mount and adjust Direct Connect System gives the skier Natural Edge Angle for precise edge control & improved balance. It achieves the industry's shortest flex footprint which virtually eliminates ski flex dead spots so your ski turns as easy as designers intend. The DC system also allows for Micro Adjustment for infinite fore/aft and 7 of rotational adjustment. The Adjustable Rear Toe is also available in the aluminum plated version to fit traditional insert patterns. Front boot is available in multiple sizes and the rear kicker is one size fits all.
