At the races it dominated the sport class competition. This is a model that still has many devoted fans today.

This ski comes from the factory as a stripped down no frills machine that puts out all performance and no compromise. It does not have a tachometer, speedometer, gps, rear view mirrors, cup holder, ice box, luggage compartment or a reverse mechanism that are typical of larger multi person skis.

The Wave Blaster has been described by many as "the closest thing to riding a motorcycle on the water". The Wave Blaster lives up to it's name and is a "Blast" to ride.
