The Connelly C1 waterski is the flagship model and the culmination of countless hours of testing, feedback, modifications and developments to create a ski that will hold up to all the rigours of course skiing and bring out your personal best. Continuing the history of weight reduction, the C1 features a CNC-cut PVC Core, making every ski core the same while maintaining a low-density, lightweight ski that Connelly is known for, ultimately giving you increased performance and power. The big difference in the performance from the C1's predecessors is its profiling and rail height. With added tip and tunnel width, the C1 now carries more speed across the wash but allows it to pull tighter in the turn for a more controlled pivot around the buoy/turn, while the rail height allows for hold and power when on edge. Disrupting water flow is critical to making skiing faster and smoother; the Speed V-tech on the base of the C1 allows maximum disruption in the centre of the concave and less on the edges, meaning plenty of hold on edge and effortless changes in transition. The C1 is also  arguably the most customisable ski on the planet, thanks to VersaTail technology, allowing a new dimension of fine-tuning to waterskis. Adjustable tail designs, from a traditional Connelly (VT) tail to square (VS) and rounded (VR) tail designs, meaning you can adjust the ski to sit lower in the water or carry more speed depending on your preference and style.

Waterski Features

Rocker

• Continuous Rocker - Through the tip and tail allows the ski always to provide a constant level of speed across the wash and allows for a smooth, comfortable turn and drive through the wash while still having the ability to keep that speed into your leading edge easily.
• Increased Rockerline - Mostly in the tip and tail, allows the DV8 to move from edge to edge with considerable ease.

Flex

• Flex Rating(1=Soft, 10=Stiff) - 8/10
• An altered flex pattern bucks the trend and makes the ski softer, working with the overall design of the ski to increase performance.

Core

• PVC CNC'd Core - A tried and true core material, cut to utter perfection that has proved itself on the top end ski's for years, a high-quality material that is lighter and stiffer than its PU counterpart, creating greater feel and response in your ski.

Laminates

• 90/10 Carbon/Fibreglass Split - A traditional carbon laminate blended with just a splash of fibreglass, engineered specifically so you get all that response and zip out of your ski while getting that little hint of flex when you need it, creating tight turns and fast line breaks across the wash. Not to mention it outlasts carbon. Yeah, science b#*@h

Shape

• Increased Tip Width - helps to generate speed but gives you a more stable platform to initiate and pull through turns and have more control while doing so.
• Variable Bevel - A sharper bevel through to the front binding of the ski that transitions to a round bevel in the tail allows the ski provides lift and speed in the nose across the wash while the tail offers suction for tight turns for the apex of your cut or around the buoy
• C.A.P.T. (Connelly Advanced Profile Technology) - The original profiled construction, allowing skis to reduce weight and specifically tailor a flex pattern to various points in the ski

Concave

• Full Edge-to-Edge Concave - a full concave throughout the whole width of the ski creates a fluid motion and greatly supports your cut, allowing you to focus solely on where you want to place the ski.
• Speed V-Tech - V Tech built for speed, with curves in the v steps, creating increased water disruption in the centre of the runnel and less on the edges, meaning reduced drag and greater edge hold.
• Wider Tunnel - A more stable profile that allows for a greater volume of water flow that also acts to displace more water and increase speed.

Other Features:

• Versa Tail - The patent-pending feature that is the centrepiece of the DV8, an adjustable tail. This change in tail geometry allows you to change your ski based on your style.
• VT Tail - The stock Connelly tail shape is designed to give a balanced tail depth across the wash and into turns
• VS Tail - A square tail shape designed to add lift and support, as well as increase ski speed
• VR Tail - The round tail shape allows the ski to sit deeper in the water into and through the turn, giving faster turning and fewer tail blowouts
• VRS Tail - Allows the ski to ride deeper on left-side turns and have greater speed and tip pressure on right-side turns
• VSR Tail -  Allows the ski to ride deeper on right-side turns and have greater speed and tip pressure on left-side turns
• Hybrid Base - A polished tip and a micro-textured tail, blending and working together to provide speed across the wash and reduce turn resistance.
• Viper 2.0 Fin System
• Made in the USA cause, Merica'
