O'Brien Elite Experience Slalom Ski 2009

Tip
1/4" Tip.  Having only 1/4" of thickness in the tip area allows the carbon fibre to retain energy throughout the turn when the front is loaded.  Stiffness is maintained through the sides of the fore body - also taking unnecessary weight out of the largest area.

Thickness
0.800 Max Thickness.  This is the thinnest ski O'Brien has made.  The max thickness of 0.800" allows for the least amount of drag when the ski is on edge.

Fore Body Bevel
48 Degree Bevel in the fore body are 48 degrees from a straight vertical.  This allows for a slightly smaller bevel configuration; which keeps the ski up on the water without losing any tracking ability.

Flat Spot
12" Flat Spot.  The flat spot on the ski, or balance point, is 12" long, but further back than most with a 37" C/L to allow are more central balance point for the skier and a less sensitive ride.

Pivot Point
Extended Pivot Point.  An extended length pivot towards the rear of the ski allows the skier to easily predict the direction and how aggressive they want the edge change to be.

Sidewall
7 Degree Sidewall Angle.  A 7 degree sidewall angle runs front to tail to create maximum lift and stability.

Tail Bevels
Rounded Tail Bevels.  The bevels in the rear of the ski are a complete radius.  This allows the tail freedom in the rotation of the turn, and to maintain momentum (no parallel stops!!!)

Tail
Semi Square Tail.  A semi square tail allows enough forgiveness for the ski under pressure in the turn yet gives maximum stability off the wakes into an edge change.
