Radar Features

CARBON INSIDE-

High tensile strength, low weight and used for higher-end performance. Every Radar ski is manufactured with carbon fiber for a more dynamic, faster reacting ski with less swing weight. The amount of carbon fiber inside each ski is measured based on the suggested performance level of the rider.

TRU-LINE INSERTS-

Radar skis have high strength; flush mounted, plated inserts for boot and fin mounting. During pre-production a high density polycarbonate block is located inside the core. This is the foundation of our insert system, ensuring the insert will become an integrated part of the ski. After the ski has been molded, each insert location is drilled via CNC positioning, to find exact location.

BASE MATERIALS-

DURA BASE

A specially formulated polymer resin is used on the base to relieve surface tension, making the ski faster and more efficient.

POLISHED BASE

Our aluminum molds are polished daily during production to keep a constant finish on the base of the skis for a glossy appearance and unchanging performance.

CORE OPTIONS

PVC CORE

Is the lightest and strongest foam used in ski manufacturing. Its properties add energy to the ride of the ski and dramatically reduce the overall weight. Our PVC cores are machined at the Radar Lab for a precise fit and controlled performance. Expect a ski with this type of core to be more dynamic on the water with a quicker response time to your movements and a powerful hole shot out of turns. Available in: Lithium Vapor

MACHINED AERO CORE

Our industry exclusive core production combines two technologies for the most consistent polyurethane (PU) core available. By using our CNC machine to cut an Aerocore PU block into shape at the Radar Lab we can monitor the consistency of the foam and get an exact fit, allowing us to hand build skis with more true flex and bomb proof construction. Available in: Graphite  Vapor and Alloy Vapors.

AERO CORE

Foam formulation makes the core of your ski more than just the skeleton. Our Aerocore PU foam adds strength and consistency to the flex of the ski while reducing the overall weight. Aerocore foam is exclusive to Radar and allows us to build skis with our unmistakable quality. Available in: Senates, Lyric, Theory, P-6’s, and T.R.A.
