HO Boots

EXO System

EXO = External Structural Shell

System = Interdependent Components Forming A Unified Whole

**EXO Boots work exclusively with HO EXO Binding System**

If you fall while snow skiing or playing basketball, you don't come out of your shoes, right?? The demands of arcing a turn down your local mountain or cutting to the rim dictate a precise fit with a high level of foot support.? Water Skiing is no different. That is why HO is proud to introduce the 2011 EXO System.? The EXO System is comprised of the revolutionary Variable Retention System (VRS) Binding and EXO Shell boots, allowing skiers to remain in their boots but release from their ski in out the front type falls. EXO Shell Boot Technology combines the fit of your favorite pair of running shoes with a level of support unmatched in any other water ski boot. The VRS Binding utilizes a combination of Dual Spring and Quick Cam Technology to create controlled retention and consistent release. Available in two different Flex Index models, the EXO Pro and EXO Form are designed to accommodate intermediate to advanced skiers.

Thank you for purchasing the World's 1st Water Ski Specific Hard Shell Boot System. Designed with the goal of creating the perfect water ski boot, EXO System represents a design evolution not seen in the water sports industry since the invention of the fiberglass ski. Enjoy your new ride!

Variable Retention System (VRS) Binding:
The intelligence behind the system, the world's first water ski specific binding:The VRS Binding utilizes a combination of Dual Spring and Quick Cam Technology to create controlled retention and consistent release.? Dual Spring technology concentrically coils two differently powered springs inside one another.? The outer, less powerful spring is compressed to create retention for lighter weight skiers.? As skier weight increases, the inner, more tightly coiled spring begins to compress providing the required retention skiers demand.? Quick Cam Technology utilizes a caming mechanism to transform the rotary motion of the heel release unit into a linear compression of the dual springs.? It acts like a light switch.? The system is 100% engaged while in skiing position. When the skier gets out of position, as in an out the front type?fall, the resulting torque force flicks the light switch to the off position providing the skier a clean consistent release from the ski.? The Quick Cam Technology can be felt and heard in the powerful ?whack? of the cam engaging, providing the comfort of knowing your system is secure and ready for skiing.

The EXO Frame is an extruded aluminum frame linking the toe and heel assemblies of the VRS binding as well as the connection point of the EXO Shells to the system.? The EXO Frame utilizes a Free Float Design to reduce the impact the EXO Shells have on longitudinal ski flex.? Consider for a moment a slalom ski sitting on a dock.? It is in a completely unloaded state.? Now consider the shape a slalom ski takes as you cut back and forth behind the boat.? The opposing forces of water pressure and skier load bend your ski into a loaded state. Unlike any other plate design on the market, the EXO Frame achieves its neutral condition while your ski is in its loaded position by implementing an over rocker shape in comparison to your ski unloaded rocker line. Under skiing conditions, the system is complete and all components are working together to create pure ski flex.

The VRS Toe Assembly is designed to function much as your favorite pair of rubber boots! For example, you are running late and go for a big onside turn. You can't manage to pull it out and fall back and to the inside in a routine fall.? You would never come out of your favorite pair of Animal boots in this type of fall, and you don't need to.? The EXO System functions the exact same way. By eliminating vertical and horizontal toe release, the EXO System mimics traditional rubber boots and minimizes any chances of prerelease.

EXO Shells:
The first of their kind, the EXO Shells are the only water ski specific injection molded boots ever created. The lower shell design has a wide platform base. This allows the skier to stand directly on the ski's surface.? The skier's feel is greatly increased as power is transmitted directly from the rigid supportive shell structure directly into the ski without the added damping element of the aluminum plate. The platform base design creates a strong lateral connection between EXO Shell and ski for increased edge angle.? Because the base has a wider footprint the skier to can apply pressure closer to the actual ski edge. As a result the skier is able?to set a deeper edge and maintain cross course angle more efficiently.

The EXO Shells upper cuff was designed to accommodate no restrictions in the rearward flex range, allowing the skier to let the ski move outbound off the second wake more effectively.? The EXO shells forward flex range was designed to have a definite stop point where the lower shell and upper cuff mechanically interface, protecting the skier's ankle in out the front type falls.

The EXO Shells are available in two different Flex Index models, the EXO Pro and EXO Form.? The EXO Pro (Flex Index 15) utilizes a stiffer shell and cuff compound for a quicker more powerful boot. The Course Fit Liner and Foot Bed are firm for instantaneous transfer of foot to ski movement, The EXO Form (Flex Index 10) is a slightly softer version of the EXO Pro. Complete with a Form Fit Liner and Foot Bed, the EXO Form offers a softer more plush feel in a high performance shell.

Both the EXO Pro and EXO Form models are offered in two different configurations, Double EXO Shells and the Front Cuff/Rear Toe Boot options.? The Double EXO Shell configuration was designed to accommodate skiers who prefer the support of double boots. The EXO Shell Front Cuff/Rear Toe Boot option was specifically designed for skiers who traditionally use a rear toe plate or a soft rear boot.? The Rear Toe Boot was designed extensively over the past ski season by 2009 World Champion Will Asher to provide the feel and range of motion rear toe plate skier's love, with the added benefit of keeping both feet together in out the front type?falls. The Rear Toe Boot is the future! Every skier needs to try it to believe it!

As water ski boots have transitioned from rubber binders to textile footwear great improvements have been made in ease of entry and overall boot comfort, but has performance been sacrificed? Not any more. Meet the all new 2012 Attack boots! The Attack utilizes a Unibody Construction and a 1Piece 3D molded tongue to deliver unmatched lateral ski edging power. Traditional “Stitch to” boots are made of a liner inside of a synthetic leather shell. Because the liner and textile shell are not connected there is a large amount of sheering between the two and the lateral support of the boot is much lower than desired. Unibody construction mechanically attaches the soft comfortable liner with the powerful textile shell to eliminate shearing and maximize lateral support and edge power. The Attack also utilizes the 1Piece 3D molded tongue to provide positive feedback to forward ankle flexion allowing the skier to let the Attack boot support them shifting their weight forward on the ski for more efficient skiing. Combine this with the industry’s only Baseless Aluminum Frame, ultra lean, water ski specific design, and you have marriage of finesse and power seen in no other hybrid boot on the market.

* Unibody Composite Construction
* Baseless Aluminum Frame
* Stiff Flex 3-D Molded Tongue
* Thin Orthotic Footbed
* Dual Lace Zones

Shame on you for skiing on inadequate planks that have failed in their attempts to knock off the World leading Syndicate Team creations; A1, A2, S1 and Triumph! If you must though, we've created an adapter plate so you can use the future of Ski Binding technology today.
