Introducing the 2024 ION 3 - A Level Up.
So how do you improve on one of the best selling slalom skis in the history fo the sport? You go right back to the water and start testing! Over the past year, D3 has taken the successful ION profile shape, modified its rocker profile, cut a new mold --producing the new ION III! An all new ski that is even more stable than the Ion 2, with better cast outbound off the wakes, and turns that redefine what symmetry means on both onside and offside turns!
So how do you do this. The key is creating a bigger "Work Area". By work area we are talking the space underneath your feet where the magic happens. Many people call it a "flat spot", but the reality is that its not flat. To create this bigger "work space" D3 shifted the key rocker component of the ski from under the heel of the front boot to under the toes of the your rear foot creating a fulcrum further back in the ski. This change offers you the abilty to cast out wider as you set up for your turn, much more symmetry on. both your offside AND on side turns all while benefiting from way more stabilty under your feet with larger "work area".
You'll feel this as son as you pull up on the boat in your glide for the gates. The ski retains the offside turns that you have come to expect from all D3 skis. With that said, we improved the ski's ability to dynamically achieve quicker angle for your onside turns.
The ION III has the same cross course speed, consistency, and predictability found in the earlier ION skis.
You will find that the front portion of the ski will give you balance and control as you accelerate off the wake into the pre-turn. The ION III settles into the groove early providing a platform for you to confidently commit to each turn. With the additional time and space into the buoy, the ION III automatically begins its rotation sooner and more aggressively to establish the greatest amount of angle possible before you load the towline.With an earlier and quicker angle, you can stay farther ahead of the toughest passes.
