Description

Grow. You might be young, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have the proper tools to rip. We’ve designed the Makai for younger, lighter skiers who are building the strength and experience to conquer the entire mountain. The Makai is the young ladies ticket to the park, pipe, and all mountain fun.

  • CAP

    CAP

    This method wraps the wood core with composite fiberglass layers creating a torsion box. The base assembly is inserted into the mold, then the fiberglass wrapped core and top material are added. A variable slant between the base and topsheet creates a super-durable and light ski with a balanced flex.
  • Fleet Core

    Fleet Core

    Similar to the Double Zone core, but with a slow taper to 45 degrees toward the tips and tails. This eases entry and exit into and out of turns for lighter riders.
  • Positive Camber

    Positive Camber

    Traditional camber engages the tip and tail of the ski, enhancing ease of entry and exit into and out of a turn, while maintaining solid edge hold.
  • S7 Base

    S7 Base

    Improved for 10/11, the new S7 features a gliding additive for increased speed and longevity. Our toughest base, find the S7 on any ski that’s looking for rails, ledges, and boxes as much as snow.
  • Laminate Matrix

    Laminate Matrix

    We know from the core out exactly how each ski should react, so three kinds of fiberglass laminates are used in combination to deliver the exact amount of flex and torsional rigidity. Bi-axial fiberglass runs in an “x” pattern down the ski to control lateral flex. Uni-directional fiberglass controls flex along the length of the ski. And tri-axial fiberglass, with fibers running in three directions, beefs up the center of the ski. The permutations of the three fiberglasses are nearly limitless and allow us to precision tune the performance of every ski we make.
  • 2.5 Impact Edge

    2.5 Impact Edge

    This edge has an oversized height and width and the steel is heat-treated to a proprietary hardness which helps resist breaking and tearing out from rails, ledges and any other abuse it might meet.
