The HO Stance 130 waterski boot is the premium open-toe ski boot of the HO range. Built as a structurally stiffer design, the Stance makes sure not to lose any of its key comfort qualities in the process of developing a responsive boot. The plate Stance model winds back the clock to give you your classic screw pattern allowing it to fit on any ski. With a stiffer, full-wrap upper cuff, the Stance now offers considerable support laterally, increasing responsiveness without sacrificing any power. A 175mm cuff height is specifically chosen, letting the Stance sits perfectly around the ankle without restricting leg movement or comfort. Comfort is still as integral as ever, so HO makes sure to keep all the creature comforts that make it soft underfoot and supportive around the ankle.
Waterski Features
Rocker
- Pre-Flexed Continuous Rockerline – A pre-flexed rockerline gives a naturally aggressive shaped continuous rockerline, meaning no matter how you ski or where you stand on the ski, you will always get tight turns and maximum hold. This allows you to explode out of turns and across the wash with ease on both the onside and offside.
- High Rocker Tip – The increased rocker angle in the tip means earlier and more aggressive turn initiation, getting you around the bouy in less time.
Flex
- Flex Rating(1=Soft, 10=Stiff) – 8/10
Core
- Works Construction
- PU/Carbon Blend Core – Finding the sweet spot between social skis and syndicate construction, this construction gives you more power out of the turn and speed across the wash while reducing the weight compared to regular PU core models.
- Bio Resin: 35% Natural Glycerin Resin – This is a simple by-product of biodiesel production that allows the ski to rebound out of turns faster, allowing for a lighter feel underfoot.
- No Plastic Layers – No top and bottom plastic layers, making the works even more environmentally friendly
Laminates
- Carbon Laminates – A traditional carbon laminate layer that is tried and proven adds a snappy element to your ski, driving response through your cut and turns.
Shape
- Wide Forebody – increased width under your foot and through to the nose gives the ski overall increased stability and support without sacrificing speed on the downswing and turn initiation.=
- Updated Bevel Package – Rounder, larger bevel allows the ski to roll into an edge easier and with greater stability.
Concave
- High Volume Concave – Increased depth in the front section of the ski creates more lift and support while adding greater volume. This translates to more significant push on the outer bevels of the ski and a more effortless ability to pivot into your edges and keep speed.
