Water skis have advanced significantly over the years. Glass was used before wood, and now carbon fibre. Since its founding in 1949, Auski has worked to develop the sport in Australia so that you can always waterski with the newest equipment. Slalom waterskis are designed to get you down to a level where you can use some water to cushion your elbow. In order to get lower and pass more buoys, well-known manufacturers like HO skis and Radar waterskis have been creating and innovating their skis. If you want to find the ideal waterski for yourself, you've arrived at the ideal location.
When it comes to conquering the waves with precision and style, Auski is your trusted destination for Waterski Packages in Australia. Our meticulously curated collection caters to all water skiing enthusiasts, providing a comprehensive range of slalom ski packages and water ski packages designed to elevate your performance on the water.
Although skier preferences can be taken into account, selecting the appropriate size of water ski relies on your weight and the kind of ski. From 63" to 71", the majority of beginning and intermediate skis are offered in 2" increments. To precisely match the needed size, course-specific slalom skis are offered in 1" increments between 65" and 69". A skier's age and level of fitness should be taken into account if they are in between two different ski sizes. A larger size will help with deep water starts, while a smaller size will help with performance.
63" (Up to 55 kg)
65" (50 - 70 kg)
66" (60- 80 kg)
67" (70 - 90 kg)
68" (80 - 100 kg)
69" (80 - 100 kg)
71" (weight more than 100 kg)
For the seasoned professional or the ambitious beginner, our Slalom Ski Packages are crafted to meet diverse skill levels. Our high-performance slalom skis deliver precision and control, ensuring an exhilarating experience on the water. Whether you're mastering the art of slalom skiing or seeking the perfect balance on the waves, our packages have you covered. Selecting your first slalom ski or replacing an outdated ski shouldn't be difficult! Slalom skis come in a variety of styles to fit various styles of skiing. This page aims to guide you through the key characteristics, designs, and differences between slalom skis. Slalom skis fall into three main categories: Cross-Over, Course, and Free-Ski.
Designed to easily cut open-water lakes and rivers in various water conditions, Free-Skis are an excellent choice. Their broad breadth, gentle flex, and shallow concave will help with smooth, long radius turns, buoyancy sufficient to accommodate slower boat speeds between 20 and 30 mph, and simple deep water launches. A free-ski is ideal for beginners, larger people, or skiers who just want to unwind and enjoy themselves behind the boat!
Course skis have a deep concave to roll from edge fast and aggressively, a compact overall width that allows the ski to roll from edge to edge with more power and drive, and a firm, responsive construction for acceleration out of a turn. Taking everything into account, the main goal of a course ski is to go around six buoys as fast and effectively as feasible. Course skis are only appropriate for speeds between 34 and 36 mph and are constructed with premium foam cores, carbon fibre laminates, and adjustable fin blocks.
This flexible option is appropriate for skiers of all skill levels, combining the performance of course skis with the stability of free-skis. The forms of cross-over skis are mostly derived from course skis, but they have an additional width added to the body for more stability and slower boat speeds (between 26 and 34 mph). The skier may select a build from a variety of options, ranging from simple to extremely sophisticated, according on their skill level and personal preferences.
Embrace the excitement of water skiing with our carefully curated Water Ski Packages. From beginner-friendly options to advanced sets for the more experienced rider, our collection caters to all. Auski is your go-to source for quality water skis that guarantee a thrilling ride while maintaining the perfect blend of style and functionality.
In their most basic form, all modern slalom skis are constructed using fibreglass moulds and PU (polyurethane) foam cores. Beginner and intermediate skiers will benefit from its most basic build because of its dependability and forgiveness. The speed at which the ski returns to its initial shape after bending around a buoy is referred to as its "responsiveness." Quickly regaining its shape, a more sensitive ski will accelerate out of a turn and across the wakes to the next buoy. In slalom ski contractions, carbon fibre was used in lieu of fibreglass to produce greater reaction and the desirable side benefit of being lightweight. Kids, women's, and men's skis all frequently employ carbon fibre, with the amount of laminates changing depending on the use.
Many high-end slalom skis have switched from polyurethane (PU) foam to polyvinyl chloride (PVC) foam since the early 2000s. When carbon fibre laminates are combined with PVC, the structure becomes more lighter and more responsive than with conventional PU cores. 2019 saw Radar add PMI (polymethacrylimide) to their "Pro Build" line, which is available in the Senate and Vapor models. The market's most responsive slalom ski core, PMI provides an increase that is even greater than the difference between PU and PVC.
The highest performance will come from slalom skis with PMI or PVC cores, but these materials aren't necessarily the ideal choice for all skier types or ski classifications! Less forgiving, PMI and PVC cores are only appropriate for aggressive, self-assured skiers. Furthermore, they are only going to function well on flat water. A typical PU core will handle choppy water more easily for those who face all weather conditions.
Step into the ultimate waterskiing experience with our range of Water Ski Boots. Designed for durability, comfort, and performance, our boots ensure a secure fit, providing the stability needed for optimum control on the waves. Whether you're a casual skier or a dedicated enthusiast, our selection of water ski boots enhances your overall experience.
There are two main types of slalom ski boots: open-toe and closed-toe. The majority of contemporary slalom skis have a "classic" mountain layout, which enables many boot brands to be mounted on any one ski. HO D.C. type front and rear boots are required to be placed on skis with D.C. (Direct connect) inserts manufactured in 2017 and before. An aluminium rear plate is required for those who want to attach Radar boots to a HO ski from 2018 and later. Variants of BOA slalom ski boots use a BOA lacing system in place of conventional bottom laces for quick and effective closing.
Since open-toe ski boots fit a variety of foot sizes (US 7 to US 11), they provide the greatest amount of customization and are not dependent on the left or right foot. There are front and rear plate alternatives for the majority of open-toe boots. All open-toe boots will have an elastic top lacing that allows for a safe release in the event of an accident.
Closed-toe ski boots are the greatest option for both fit and performance in slalom skiing. The majority of closed-toe boots come in separate US sizes and options for left or right feet. The rear aluminium plates are available for all closed-toe boots, and the front and back aluminium plates may be switched out.
Fixed and adjustable designs are offered for rear toe plates. One size fits all adjustable RTPs with a lace or BOA system that suits all foot sizes up to US 14. Fixed RTPs come with aluminium plates and are available in specified US shoe sizes. They are composed of rubber. The flexibility of an RTP combined with the ankle stability of a complete boot is what hybrid rear toe plates (HRTs) are all about. Skiers who are trying to transition from a full boot to classic RTP and who start their deep water runs with two feet in are most suited for HRTs.
Precision and control are essential in slalom skiing, and our Slalom Ski Bindings are engineered to deliver just that. Enjoy a secure fit that enhances your performance on the water. Our bindings are chosen for their durability, ensuring they withstand the demands of challenging waters, providing you with the confidence to take on any skiing adventure.
