Connelly Big Daddy Slalom Ski w/ Swerve Binding & Swerve Rear Toe Plate

Description

Heavyweight skiers often need more surface area before they can get a clean deep-water start, and the Connelly Big Daddy Slalom Ski w/ Swerve Binding & Swerve Rear Toe Plate answers that need with a 69-inch platform and 550 square inches or 3500 square centimeters of flotation area. The package includes the Big Daddy ski, Swerve front binding, Swerve rear toe plate, and aluminum drop-through fin. Its wide tip and tail, C.T.S. underside spine, standard tunnel, narrow underfoot section, closed-cell polyurethane resin core, and recreational glass flex sequence suit riders weighing 220 lbs and above.

The wide tip and tail create the listed flotation surface, while the narrow underfoot section keeps the ski more responsive at low speeds. Connelly Tracking System technology runs near the tip to support early turn initiation and lift into the wake. The polished base supports the listed water-contact construction, and the aluminum drop-through fin provides directional control. Suggested boat speed ranges from 24 to 28 MPH or 38 to 45 km/h. The board length is 69 inches or 175 cm. The Swerve front binding uses a single front-lace system, soft EVA heel wrap, Lycra-lined floating toe, and a rear toe plate with contoured footbed.

Heavyweight Deep-Water Starts and Relaxed Cruising

This package is specifically sized for larger skiers who need extra surface area during the transition from the water to the riding position. The Big Daddy’s wide tip and tail reduce the demand placed on the initial start, while the C.T.S. spine helps the ski move toward the wake. Once standing, the narrow underfoot section keeps the ski from feeling completely flat during low-speed turns. Use the 24 to 28 MPH range as a reference and confirm that the rider falls within the 220 lbs and above target group.

Why Choose Connelly Big Daddy Slalom Ski w/ Swerve Binding

Choose this package when rider size makes a standard slalom ski difficult to start or control at moderate speeds. The 550-square-inch surface area, 69-inch length, wide tip, wide tail, and C.T.S. tracking system give the Big Daddy a specific heavyweight purpose. The Swerve front binding opens through the lace system and uses a floating toe, while the rear toe plate adds a contoured footbed. Connelly also backs the model with its Performance Guarantee alongside the listed 1 Year Limited Manufacturer Warranty.
