The
GOODE PowerShell Hardshell boot system is being used by 7 of the
top 10 skiers in the world. For some reason, however, hardshell
boots are not the perfect answer for all skiers so we have a new
solution for rubber boot skiers.
GOODE now offers two new binding systems for skiers who do not
want to use Hard-Shell boots, yet want to take their performance
to the next level. We have done away with the "old fashioned"
binding system that needs to be screwed into the ski. We now offer
four models of binding systems. The PowerShell System, PowerPlate
Rubber Boot System, Universal PowerPlate System and the
traditional Performance Series High Wrap Bindings.
GOODE PowerPlate Rubber Boot System - We have taken the GOODE
Performance Series High Wrap (Wiley Style), which is used by many
tournament water skiers, removed the aluminum plates, and attached
the boots directly to a CARBON Fiber plate. This new system is not
only lighter weight than most systems currently on the market, but
using the Power Plate Rubber Boot System allows a ski to free
flex. This system does not create flat spots in a ski as does
traditional screwed on bindings - an important element in skiing.
The application is simple. The PowerPlate is designed not to
release from the ski. A skier will simply continue to release from
their boot system as they were originally designed.
WHY USE A GOODE PowerPlate System - One key benefit of the
PowerPlate is that it allows a skier to make Micro Adjustments to
his/her binding placement. Often, 1/16th of an inch in binding
placement can make a big difference in performance. With old
traditional bindings that are screwed on, drilling and screws
prohibit you from drilling within 1/4" of another hole!
The CARBON Fiber plate is a Free Flexing plate moving with the
ski, not against it, allowing a natural flex as you round that
next buoy.
The GOODE PowerPlate System is easily upgradeable to the GOODE
PowerShell System. Inter-Loc will already be installed on the ski
for an easy transition. When you are ready, the GOODE PowerShell
System will take your skiing to the next level. The GOODE
PowerShell System continues to be used by more and more
competitive skiers every year.
The GOODE PowerPlate Rubber Boot System can be custom sized
using the rubber overlays.
