Three different
sizes
FloSkis come in three sizes; short,
shorter, shortest. Or more specifically; 163cm, 150cm and 125cm.
Why so short?
Remember when hot skiers
insisted on 200cm-plus skis? It took a long time for the “experts” to accept that, with new designs and technology
incorporated into carver skis, you could get better performance on shorter planks.
FloSkis is introducing another
leap in design and technology resulting in much more for much less. They offer the stability of a long ski with the agility
of a short ski.
Vibration “shortens” a conventional ski, depending on snow consistency, by about a
quarter its nominal length. In other words, if you are on a 180cm ski in choppy conditions, about 45cm is flapping ineffectually
above the snow. That means your 180cm skis are effectively only 135cm.
FloSkis has dispensed with the “flapping”
bit. The 165cm has the stability of a conventional 190cm-210cm ski – but with much greater maneuverability, versatility
and durability.
The 125cm model works like a competition-grade 160cm mogul ski. You might think that a 125cm
ski is a mere toy, but you will be astonished to find a high-performance ski capable of stable, high speed carving, and beautifully
smooth control in the bumps.
Conventional thinkers assume that a powder ski has to be big (with lots of surface
area) to keep you afloat in the fluff. But even the shortest FloSki set to “Deep Powder” will easily perform as
well, if not better than a much longer conventional ski because of the trim effect.
See the table below to work
out which ski will suit your desires and ability.
What are you looking for? Just big….?
Or better. Much better.
Selecting the right model
The table below is a guide to which ski performs optimally in different conditions. You can figure out which is best for
the conditions you want to ski in.
