This waterski project was initiated by Hofstatt
D&D in 2005, when tournament slalom skis
where manufactured by US based companies
only. We put together a team of pro skiers,
consultants and dealers and decided on Fischer
Composite Technology as the perfect partner for
manufacturing and sales.The result was the
lightest slalomski ever built and it immediately
showed excellent performance. Many titles including
world champion, Materialica design award and winner
of the Waterski-Magazine ski test
have been achieved allready in the
first season.
The for Hofstatt D&D also
financially successful project ended
a few years later, when Fischer
headquarters sold it`s Composite Technolgy Department to Benteler.
Many started developments for a #02 ski, including
safety bindings and a state of the art fin system have
therefor not been realized and are still open spinoffs
(see trigger or zerofina).
For more detailed information see Waterski Magazine´s
interview with Kurt Steinwald, CEO of Hostatt D&D.
