2011 SYNDICATE S-1
Bob LaPoint and the Syndicate Team have refined the very successful Syndicate A1 shape specifically for speed. The result is the Syndicate S1. Designed specifically for the speed, turn support and line you’ve been dreaming of. Analysis of the tournament market has determined two unique skier styles and resulting skier tastes in slalom skis. Some skiers prefer skis that ride deeper in the water, have a tip down attitude and more of a “carving” turn shape. While other skiers choose skis the that ride higher in the water, require less physical exertion and have quicker more “skidded” turn shapes.
The S1 design produces its specific type of on-water attitude by employing a 32mph to 34mph specific hybrid concave design. By utilizing a 5.75% smaller bevel, narrower traction rail width and a 17% shallower concave depth, the S1 delivers a faster, lower drag, quicker, more “skidded” turn shape, all without sacrificing the stability and predictability the A1 has become famous for.

The S1 also introduces a completely new speed shape profile. Unlike competitor’s skis which radically increase the surface area of the ski under the boots, the S1 incorporates a traditional A1 width profile under the boot region. This allows the ski to stay down and cut through the boat wakes as opposed to bouncing or drastically jumping onto the turning edge through the edge change. Fore and aft of the boot region, the S1 maintains more of its maximum width. This concentrate of additional surface area fore and aft of the boot region not only provides the lift needed for increased speed and reduced drag, but also provides a balanced amount of additional support to the skier at the finish of the turn.
The final component is the speed specific 5-stage rocker line. Building upon the strength of the A1’s industry first 5-stage rocker line, employing dual flat spot technology for increased speed and stability, the S1 rocker line is faster and smoother, providing the most efficient ride in the industry.
The proof is on the water! Ride an S1 today and find the ski that fits your skiing style!
Hybrid Concave Design: Small rails to each side of the concave from the heel of the front foot forward. This allows the S1 to progressively build, and most importantly, maintain incredible angle off the 2nd wake propelling the skier onto a wide and early line. Behind the skier's front foot heel the S1 transforms into edge to edge concave design. Allows the ski to roll up on a higher edge angle and pulls the forebody of the ski into the water for maximum angle creation and maintenance.
5-Stage Rocker Line: Dual flat spots and extremely progressive tip rocker stage. Flat spot #1 equals speed off the buoy. Flat spot #2 equals the stable platform the skier balances on back to the wakes. The progressive top rocker mimics an extra long flat spot for stability, but a continuous rocker for pre-turn rotation.
Fat Tail Geometry: By reducing the overall taper in the ski, HO created a wider tail profile than traditional design.
