Description

PMI foam is undoubtedly the lightest, most responsive foam on the market. We wrap that foam in Textreme spread tow carbon to make this 2023 Radar Senate Pro Build the fastest, most aggressive Senate we’ve ever created. Now those skiing 28-34 MPH in the course truly have a racecar of a Senate to write home about.

The 2023 Radar 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.

PMI foam is undoubtedly the lightest, most responsive foam on the market. We wrap that foam in Textreme spread tow carbon to make this Senate the fastest, most aggressive Senate we’ve ever created. Now those skiing 28-34 MPH in the course truly have a racecar of a Senate to write home about.

Shape

The wide spot on the ski has moved forward and width has been added from the middle of the ski through the tip. This gives the ski a more tip to tail taper and more support through the front part of the ski. The increase in taper presents the ski with a slightly more tip-up riding attitude and allows the ski to pull through the turn in a more connected, powerful way. The result is less body movement needed to get tight radius turns. The new ski also has slightly less volume in the tail. By reducing this surface area, the tail of the ski is able to smear outward while also staying planted in the water. Ultimately, the updates in shape help it to ride much closer to the ideal line for any given speed and rope length.

Rocker

The tip rocker on the new Senate starts just after the wide spot. This relieves tip pressure and increases forgiveness, allowing a skier to have a bigger platform to stand on coming into the turn. This also helps keep the ski keep moving outbound in the transition and makes the ski incredibly more predictable in the turns it creates. Moving back from the wide spot, the rocker lines are all new. These new lines create a ski with increased tail rocker which softens the way the ski rotates or carves through the turn. The result is a feeling of increased angle from a wider place with an instant acceleration.

Concave

The additional concave depth running throughout the bottom of the ski is one of the most noticeable differences in this new shape. This channels more water directionally from tip to tail, resulting in significantly more side-to-side drive and holding power. More drive and hold allow a skier to be faster as they near centerline which results in a more up-course path. Another result from an increased concave is increased pressure on the bevels, allowing the ski to feel extremely connected to the water. This gives a skier the freedom to control the path of the ski with more ease.

Bevels

The front of the ski carries a sharper, more angular bevel design to harness the increased water flow from the new concave design. This gives the skier more ability to feel how the water interacts with the tip of the ski to create sharper, more predictable turns. In the tail of the ski, the bevel is softened, allowing the water to wrap around the bevel easier. The tip of the ski pulls harder through the turn while at the same time, the tail is able to smear while staying planted in the water. This feathered approach makes the turns feel much more natural and less forced.

Thickness

Sidewall height carries constant to provide balance for the increased lift created by adding width. In an effort to keep the ski nimble, sidewall thickness is reduced to produce 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

PMI Core

PMI Foam is the industry leading core with its lightweight, reactive qualities. The use of PMI results in a ski that rebounds back to its original shape at a rate 10x faster than PVC which means quicker turns and an earlier acceleration out of the turn.

Textreme Carbon

Textreme is a manufacturer of a spread tow carbon which allows us to reduce weight and increase strength. It most importantly provides us a more consistent flexing and a durable ski. Textreme has been utilized in everything from America’s Cup race boats to Tour de France bikes because of its powerful attributes.

Carbon Rods

Carbon Rods allow us to introduce Zonal Flexing. These hollow tubes create stiffness and strength in the ski where it is necessary without creating change in unwanted places.

CPD Bio Resin

CPD has created a plant-based bio resin that is changing the game. Utilizing a biofuel base that has 28% renewable resources allows them to create a resin with the same molecular makeup as a traditional resin. This means the same strength and performance that you are used to all while saving the planet, now that’s a win-win.

Race Base

Utilizing a TPU base material reduces drag and increases waterflow. This allows the ski to carry more speed behind the boat resulting in earlier lines and easier turns in the slalom course.

Enduro Tip/Tail

By introducing a nylon block in both the tip and tail of our Vapors we have increased durability and made the water flow more efficiently
