Behind The Product
Description

Hand crafted in Seattle USA, the KD Platinum is ushering in a new age of performance into slalom skiing. For years the Platinum has become a household name, now with the addition of Corey Vaughn to the KD Tournament team the KD Platinum ‘CV’ Edition is set to catapult more skiers to the top of the podium than ever before. Respected in the slalom community, Corey noted that too many companies are building skis for 30-36mph market and since coming on board is steering KD to tailor his signature model to a true 34-36mph skier that is consistently skiing into competition line lengths.

The ‘CV’ Edition Platinum uses premium components like the ‘Viper 2.0’ adjustable fin and modern materials to perfect the already present features engineered into the mold like the tortional top deck spine that creates a dampening effect by reducing the torque the ski feels under heavy load. Corey cited the Platinum’s variable side wall thickness as key to unlocking the cross-course speed needed get higher on the boat.

KD Skis understands that as the tail of the ski’s in constant contact with the water focused getting tail thickness perfect, allowing it to sit deeper and avoid blowing out.

WATERSKI SELECTION - SIZING

This is the speed that is maximum for competition Skiers. It is for the Men's Division and the fastest you should ever go pulling a slalom skier.

The maximum speed should only be used while pulling advanced skiers in competitive conditions.

This speed is used by many Advanced and all-women, Junior, and Senior Competition water skiers divisions maximum speed.

Skiers who ski at this speed will choose a ski on the longer side of the weight range or a ski with a slightly wider surface area than someone competing at 36 mph (58 kph).

This speed is ideal for recreational skiers and generally use the 18.25 meter -60ft overall line length.

Great for skiers for free skiing or social skiing, and is a speed that feels comfortable.

Skis designed for this speed will be slightly wider and built with a softer layup.

These skis are generally similar in shape and design but are around 10mm wider than the pro model competition ski. (They are not considered a "wide-body design")

The added width makes the ski ride a little higher on the water as it is designed and enables the ski to carry speed out after the wake at slower speeds.

The softer ski flex is more forgiving in your turns and with the added width produces less fatigue.

This speed is typical of Intermediate and recreational skiers. You have two choices of design that will suit this speed range.

You can select a longer ski that will give you surface area and a bit of length so the ski can ride higher on the water.

The other option is skis are classified as "Wide-Body". The extra widthenables easier starts and effortless carving, giving the skier a more stable ski and less effort to enjoy the ride.

Skis designed for these speeds are also more forgiving and have a slower edge-to-edge movement that promotes confidence and stability.

They are normally wider than a traditional competition ski and a skier would choose to ride the longer size range.

The wide Body design is 20+ mm wider in the forebody and has a tapered shape to the tail. (Suggested skis would be The Power Carve)
