Baller DanE Posted February 24, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 24, 2013 So, the shark ate that ski ? Was the ski left in the sun too long ? Was the ski all that was found after a crash,skier missing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted February 24, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 24, 2013 It's the new 2013 Hybrid by Reflex. Check ou the the shape of that whole ski, tip, fore body, mid, and tail, very different. They are made in left and right specific shapes, not just layups as well as a standard. The new 2013 Flow also has these shape options as well. I assume to balance the off and onside turns. http://reflexworld.com/2010SITE/web/images/shop/13flow.jpg http://reflexworld.com/2010SITE/web/images/shop/13Flowright.jpg http://reflexworld.com/2010SITE/web/images/shop/13hybrid_front.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller DanE Posted February 24, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 24, 2013 Usually when ski manufacturers put out there latest and greatest stick with claims they've changed this and that you cannot see the changes even if compared to last years ski side by side, well, this is different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Johnson Posted February 24, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 24, 2013 This is what they did with jets to go supersonic...Called the "Hour Glass" effect. May be the first supersonic ski !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted February 24, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 24, 2013 @Ed Johnson. Cool if water was compressable. Maybe they should call it the F-106. I am all for innovation if it works. Wonder when someone is going to bring the Venturi tunnel back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller BraceMaker Posted February 24, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted February 24, 2013 Ha, I was just flicking through websites last night, and was looking at reflex binding stuff. And they always have interesting skis, so I clicked and was scrolling. And I was CERTAIN that my screen had distorted the ski, it looked bent and wavy. But I looked back and lo - it was correct. For some reason what it looked like to me was a basking shark with its mouth open. Pictured is the Flow. I hadn't seen a discussion on it, so I figured that would attention - seems to have no?

Baller_ Wish Posted February 24, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted February 24, 2013 @Ham Wallace I rode that ski for a time. More brutal OTF on that ski... Hour glass figure was up front. This one is the most radically shaped ski I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankS Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 It would be funny if you told your ski buddies about how great your new ski was and then you pull it out of the bag and start freaking out like it broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
