Wade Williams Jamie Beauchesne is an amazing skier. Anybody who averages 3.5 at 41 ' off gets that undisputed title. One of the best in the world needs a product that matches his ability level.

Stepping outside the box we started testing steps in the tunnel. Straight steps, angled steps, steps that rolled up the bevel, stopped short of the edge, 4 steps, 5 steps, etc. Our testing and performance on the water confirmed that 6 V shaped steps is far superior to any other design. These steps grace the edge- to-edge tunnel of the ski, which reduces drag and helps speed with less wetted surface area. The result is a smooth quiet ride...

Clean, smooth andfast, the Fl delivers on all points. A perfect blend of carbon graphite andfiberglass gives you light weight and durability that will outlast any carbon ski on the market. Known...
