Radar 2024 Senate Alloy Waterski | Double Vector Boot

SENATE ALLOY

Our most popular ski, the Alloy Senate utilizes a polyurethane core with Paulownia wood stringers wrapped in carbon fiber. This beauty of a ski is stable but fast and an absolute blast to ride whether you’re ripping open water turns or getting into some course action. Ski the Alloy Senate from 26-34 MPH and enjoy the ride.

VECTOR BOA

The Vector Boa packs a punch. Featuring Carbitex CX6 strips to give you ultimate response and a Boa reel to dial in your fit perfectly every time. You’ll be wondering where this boot has been your whole life.

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 adjust-ment in shape was the narrowing of the tip. This combined with our new 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 en-larged the sweet spot of the ski even more. The flatter the rocker is under-neath 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 tru-ly 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 last 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 con-stant speed through the turn which improves your cadence and rhythm with the boat.

Bevel
Sharpening the bevel from your feet forward has given the new Senate more grip and control than any ski we’ve created to date. This helps the ski deceler-ate 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 bal-anced 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 TECH

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 are able to 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, our high-end Pulse boot, the legendary Vector or our entry level Prime you’ll feel the difference that comes with riding a Radar boot.

Feather Frame Chassis
The Feather Frame Chassis stands on a pedestal as the only boot system to completely integrate the mounting system, baseplate and outer shell into a single component. This allows you to stand closer to the ski and offers a better connection.

Carbitex
Carbitex is a carbon fiber textile material that is more reactive than any other material on the market. This reactivity translates into an unparalleled connection to the ski.

BOA®
The BOA® Fit System delivers micro-adjustable, precision fit engineered to perform in the toughest conditions.

Intuition
Our exclusive partnership with Intuition gives you a heat-moldable, lightweight, pre-formed fit. Intuition foam ensures you have a perfect fitting liner for ultimate performance.

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.
