The Connelly Rocket takes all the knowledge and design principles that went into the flagship C1 and tailors it to suit the recreational skier and handle like a dream at 28-32mph anywhere on the lake and river. With 58 years of history, the Rocket brings together a ski that gives a high-end performance in a balanced setting. Thanks to a wider platform to pair with an altered sidewall height, the ski has the ability to carry a consistent speed across the wash without feeling overbearing while still giving you that tight, controlled turn that is a staple of the bigger, badder brother. Disrupting water flow is critical to the Rocket's smooth feel, even in rougher waters, where the v-tech and hybrid base finish work to disrupt water across the base of the ski rather than through the rail. Finally, exclusive to the Connelly range is the signature VersaTail, providing you with a range of tail options to adapt the ski to your style, whether that is altering handling in the turn or changing feel across the wash. 

The Connelly Shadow is the boot with comfort and freedom at the forefront of their mind, allowing for plenty of control from boot to ski. With a lycra toe and heel wrap, the Shadow provides a snug fit, but combine it with the plush EVA footbed, and you get a complete and comfortable package around your foot. Connelly produced their signature superlight baseplate to reduce weight so that you can maximise your performance with less weight underneath your foot and with a shorter cuff for added freedom.

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) - 6/10
  • An altered flex pattern bucks the trend and makes the ski softer, working with the overall design of the ski to increase performance.

Core

  • Closed Cell PU Core – The most well-known core in waterskiing, with a tighter knit construction to reduce weight while remaining durable and providing a slightly softer feel meaning you can ski for longer, feeling less tired, while also getting more flex into turns and less rebound when crossing the wash

Laminates

  • Fibreglass Laminates – The most forgiving top layer you can get, a simple fibreglass laminate allows the ski to provide a comfortable flex and smooth arcing turns.

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
  • Wider Platform - Designed to allow the ski to perform and handle in the turns at slower ski speeds

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.
  • V-Tech - A greater angled V-shaped step that reduces drag and resistance on the water while also providing directed water flow, so now you can get even deeper into those turns without the worry of losing your edge
  • 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
  • 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'

Put your aggressive Chewer dog to the test!
Color: A Red, Size: For Larege Dogs
A very tough toy to stand up to my aggressive chewer lab! It's a great value! The squeak is not annoying, and she's got to clamp down hard on it. It's a nice throw toy! It bounces once or twice but it still brings out the pup in our Dog! Not too small a nice size for a Lab or retriever

A Hardy Toy for Chewers
Color: Bule Octopus, Size: For Larege Dogs, Color: Bule Octopus, Size: For Larege Dogs
I must say I was very surprised with the durability of this toy. We've had it for 3 days and not one puncture hole. My rescue is a destroy chewer that doesn't care for Hardy chew toys unless it squeaks. While the squeaker isn't the best, he still loves it. We put peanut butter in the grooves for him and he goes to town. Will purchase again should he ever destroys it, worth the price!

Durable toy for a great price! Will buy again.
Color: A Red, Size: For Larege Dogs, Color: A Red, Size: For Larege Dogs
Great toy, heavy, good size, and durable for active chewers. My two dogs like to play tug a war a lot and this toy has held up fantastically! Afterwards they tend to chew toys to pieces but this one has stood the test of time so far. Great buy!

Very tough & VERY heavy
Color: A Red, Size: For Larege Dogs
My dog is a half black lab/half pittie & a very aggressive chewer she goes through toy bones very quickly, to the point they're so slivered up within 2 days, sometimes slightly longer, I have to get rid of them, they never last long, except for whole antlers and some split antlers. Although she rarely touches the whole antlers . Anyways, this is a great tough toy for strong large breeds. It squeaks in the center if you squeeze hard enough but the toy/bone was a bit too heavy for my girl. I got her the next smaller one and she still plays with the big heavier one more than the one that fits her perfectly so go figure. It's a great product and definitely recommend for heavy chewers. I only took a star off because of the weight I was extremely surprised by how heavy it was, but that's not necessarily a bad thing depending on the dog, this size is just not for my dog. I think I've had it about a month and she does play with it, not as much as her other toys, but it's still in amazing shape even with her heavy chewing.
