The full Radar range — slalom skis, ski boots, water ski apparel, ropes, handles, gloves, life vests, covers and accessories. A brand built by slalom skiers, for slalom skiers, with decades of tournament heritage.
Why Radar. Radar Skis was built by slalom skiers, for slalom skiers — the brand has been a constant at the front of the sport for decades, with athletes carrying the equipment into tournament wins year after year. The slalom range covers first-timer cruisers through to the pointiest end of tournament 3-Event gear. The wider Radar range extends into water ski apparel, ropes, handles, gloves, life vests and protective gear. The full brand range. This collection pulls everything Radar across every category we stock. Use it as the brand hub, or use the sub-category collections (Radar Slalom Skis, Radar Slalom Ski Boots, and so on) to filter. Slalom skis. Beginner cruisers, intermediate hybrid shapes, advanced tournament 3-Event skis. Mens, womens and kids. Sold as complete packages with matched boots and rear toe plates. Slalom ski blanks. Bare skis without bindings, for tournament skiers fitting their own custom boot systems. Multiple construction tiers within the advanced range. Slalom ski boots and rear toe plates. Open-toe and closed-toe front boots, adjustable and fixed rear toe plates. Sold separately for skiers building custom binding setups. Mens, womens and kids. Ropes and handles. Slalom ropes (Spectra and pre-stretched Poly low-stretch blends), slalom handles (Short-Vee for experienced skiers, Long-Vee for first-timers), kneeboard handles. Gloves. Waterski gloves across multiple palm materials — Kevlar for high-end slalom and jump, suede for general use, neoprene-backed for comfort. Life vests. Radar’s life vest range includes a womens slalom-specific cut. Mostly L50S for towed water sports. Apparel and protective gear. Water ski rashys, T-shirts, board shorts, hats. Covers and accessories. Slalom ski sleeves (neoprene form-fit), full padded slalom ski covers, air-travel ski cases. Sizing. Slalom skis by rider weight AND boat speed (chart on each product page; beginners go one size longer). Boots by foot size — closed-toe go down if between sizes, open-toe gives forgiveness through range sizing. Fin and foil. Radar skis arrive with factory fin and foil settings — these are the result of professional R&D. Leave them alone until you genuinely understand fin theory. Factory foil is typically 7° down angle. Don’t go below 6° — risk of tail blowout. Try Before You Buy. Selected Radar skis are in our demo fleet. Hire fees vary by product.
Yes — slalom skis are the core of the brand, but the Radar range extends into slalom ski boots, rear toe plates, slalom ropes and handles, waterski gloves, life vests (including a womens slalom-specific cut), water ski apparel, ski covers and accessories. Use this collection as the brand hub, or the sub-category collections (Radar Slalom Skis, Radar Slalom Ski Boots, and so on) to narrow.
Two variables: rider weight and boat speed. Every Radar product page has the manufacturer chart that pairs them. The standard published sizes are calibrated for reasonably proficient skiers. As a general rule, if you’re a beginner, returning to skiing after time away, or skiing at slower boat speeds, go one size longer than the chart suggests. The longer ski floats higher, gives an easier start, and forgives more technique errors. You can size down later when you’re confident. Call us if you want a sizing call.
Usually yes — the slalom ski hole pattern is reasonably standardised across major brands, so Radar boots mount to most modern Radar, HO, Connelly and KD slalom ski blanks. Some older skis used non-standard patterns. Call us with your ski model and we’ll confirm the hole pattern matches before you order — cheaper than finding out at the boat ramp.
Yes — unless you genuinely understand fin theory and know what each adjustment changes. Factory settings are the result of professional R&D and rider testing, and they’re the right starting point for everyone. The factory foil setting is typically 7° down angle. Don’t go below 6° — it dramatically increases the risk of tail blowout in a turn. If you’re tempted to fiddle, record the factory settings first and change ONE thing at a time. The Resource Centre on our website has model-specific factory settings if you’ve lost yours.
