A true high performance shaped ski. Start with the proven F1 design and widen the tip and tail fractionally, leaving the tunnel and sidecut identical under the bindings. The result is a slightly shaped ski highly capable of 36mph passes. The edge to edge concave tunnel holds the F1X on a rail all the way through the wakes where you can start to decelerate going into a smooth and predictable tight turn, then hang on again. The slight shaping does some work for you going into a turn. This ski caters to a very broad range of advanced to expert skiers.

Double Draft Bindings:

The Draft reinvented water ski bindings last year and now new technology has done it again. Never before has a high end binding provided ultimate lateral support with unsurpassed heel hold down while still being easy to get in and out of. Connelly developed the first and only step in binding system in the industry. Hinge Tech (patent # 7,134,928 B1) lets you pull down the lever and step into the binding effortlessly. Pull the lever up and give the laces a tug. Simple as that, no strain, no stress. You now have more energy for the best slalom set of your life. The articulated toe is precisely cut segmented EVA covered in lycra. A new one piece heel rubber with perfectly positioned achillies pads give a performance and heel hold down feeling like you have never felt. A suede/leather wrap holds you tight to the ski, translating into responsiveness previously only dreamed about. A dual lace adjustment lets you dial in the firmness you desire. Comfort leads to performance. The Draft delivers both better than any binding on the market.
