Description
Radar Vapor Lithium Water Ski 2026
The Radar Vapor Lithium Water Ski is the dependable workhorse of the Vapor lineup, delivering high-end slalom performance with the versatility to handle everything from tournament passes to aggressive free skiing. Built from the same mold as the Pro Build Vapor, the Lithium uses a machined PVC core paired with advanced carbon construction to create a ski that feels fast, responsive, and balanced across the water.
This construction has long been considered a high-performance standard, providing efficient energy transfer and consistent flex from turn to turn. Whether you're chasing personal bests in the course or carving powerful lines during a morning free ski session, the Vapor Lithium delivers the speed, support, and reliability needed to perform at a high level.
For 2026, Radar refined the Vapor design to further improve balance, control, and waterflow efficiency. The updated shape blends tunnel rocker, bevel rocker, and tip height to create a smoother, more predictable tunnel entry. This balanced platform allows skiers to confidently use more of the tip when entering the turn, producing a smooth, controlled pull from apex to edge change while maintaining a strong, supportive tail.
The result is a ski that feels stable when initiating turns, powerful when accelerating across the wakes, and consistent throughout the entire pass—giving skiers the freedom to move naturally while trusting the ski to respond.
