Custom
X5: A Brand New Ski for 2004.
The
2004 D3 Custom X5 with exclusive E-CORE technology
The Custom X5 is lighter, faster and more responsive than
ever.
After
18 grueling months of research and development Denny Kidder
and his R&D team bring you the lightest, fastest
ski we have ever produced. Crafted in the same shape as the
World Champion Custom X, the new X5 delivers a whole new
level of performance. The X5 is produced with new E-CORE technology. This “ E” core significantly
reduces the weight of the ski, improving the carbon- fibers
ability to rebound from a load situation. This creates a
faster ski out of the turns as well as across the course.
In high school physics we learned a lighter weight mass will
accelerate faster and decelerate quicker than a heavier mass.
The lighter weight ski moves away from you easier and comes
back faster between you and the boat. . With increased torsional
flex the X5 has the ability to handle incredible angle through
the wakes with less skier effort. This new ski is FAST!!
Each 2004 Custom X and X5 is cataloged and documented at
our manufacturing facility. We check each ski in four different
zones for longitudinal flex and rocker. Torsional flex is
also documented. Each ski has a born on date and a serial
number for absolute identification. This attention to detail
and commitment to consistency is your guarantee that each
ski we produce will out perform any other ski available.
Ride one and become a believer!!
