🌊 Product Overview
The Radar Union has become one of the most popular open-water slalom skis on the market because it perfectly blends easy starts, smooth turns, and legitimate high-end performance.
Built from Radar's championship-winning Vapor shape, the Union adds extra width outside the tunnel to create more lift and stability without sacrificing the aggressive edge hold serious skiers love. The result is a ski that gets on plane effortlessly, carries speed across the wakes, and makes every turn feel smooth and predictable.
Whether you're free skiing every weekend, learning the course, or simply want a ski that's easier on your body at slower speeds, the Union delivers an incredibly fun ride.
⭐ Why Skiers Love It
Effortless Deep-Water Starts
The wider platform creates extra lift, making starts noticeably easier while requiring less effort from the skier.
Vapor-Inspired Shape
Radar borrowed the DNA of its flagship Vapor ski and widened it outside the tunnel, preserving the quick edge changes and powerful turns while increasing forgiveness.
Fast Cross-Course Speed
Radar's High-Speed Flow Line keeps water moving efficiently under the ski, reducing drag and helping the Union generate surprising speed across the wakes.
Aggressive Edge Hold
Despite its forgiving personality, the Union rolls onto edge confidently and finishes turns with authority, making it feel far more performance-oriented than most crossover skis.
100% Carbon Fiber Construction
Radar's all-carbon layup delivers a consistent flex pattern, lightweight feel, and responsive performance every set.
Excellent in Rough Water
The added surface area makes the Union exceptionally stable in choppy conditions, helping skiers maintain confidence when the lake isn't perfectly calm.
