The Makai is built for young skiers starting to build the strength and technique to dominate the entire mountain. Designed as a gateway ski the Makai is perfect for young skiers who are starting to push the limits of what traditional junior equipment is able to handle whether it is in the park, pipe, or all mountain skiing. Based around a cap construction the Makai is still a very forgiving ski that will accommodate a few miscues along the way but has the grip and stable feel that even the most aggressive young skiers will struggle to ever out ski. The smooth performance of the Makai is due, in large part, to the Fleet Core which is full wood and tapers to a 45 degree angle at the tip and tail for easier entry and exit to the turn but aids in edge hold and supplies the pop and energy a more aggressive skier needs to continue to improve. Wrapped up in a Laminate Matrix to ensure the perfect balance of flex tip to tail, and given the durable combination of an S7 Base and 2.5 Impact Edges to handle any rail sliding or rocks your little one may encounter the Makai has it all. The Makai is the young ladies ticket to park, pipe, and all mountain fun. Features: 2.5 Impact Edge - Oversized And Heat Treated To Resist Breaking And Tear Out.
