The F1 has quietly been dominating the tournament scene for several years. Although it is hard to improve upon perfection we somehow managed. The 07 F1 features a re-engineered flex pattern that helps the turn yet does not sacrifice any speed out of the turn. Some of the best slalom skiers in the world choose the F1 based on how well it skis. One of the secrets is a large sweet spot. Moderately sharp forebody bevels work in conjunction with the sweet spot to provide a smooth non-critical turn. A Texalium top provides strength and yes the ski is light. A perfect blend of carbon graphite and fiberglass gives you light weight and durability that will outlast any carbon ski on the market. The F1 is what Natalie Hamrick used to run 39 off making her the 2nd woman in the history of the sport to do so. It is also the ski Jamie Beauchesne and Terry Winter have been killing it on every tournament they attend. Anything less than a few at 41 off is a bad set for them on the F1. Known for being very fast, smooth and a failure rate of zero percent with a lifetime warranty. Nobody else can offer that … nobody.
"The F1 wants to turn hard, and hold it. There's no giving back angle. Because it rides deeper in the water I know that I can turn as hard as I need to with confidence. I know it won't skip out, tail slide, or stop and throw me over the front. It's aggressive and solid". Terry Winter
What we think:
If you’ve ridden the F1 in the past and did not like it, try it again, it will be well worth your time. The new flex patterns have drastically changed it’s feel, giving it great speed and stability cross course and consistent easy turns. Because the ski sits so low in the water, it can feel heavy at times, but shorten the line and this ski comes alive.
