Baller Justin Posted January 29, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 29, 2019 Just a question for the radar guys, what are the differences between the new Radar Union and the Senate? The information I see is that they are both a tad wider than a vapour, but the same shape? I am guessing different cores and layups? Curious.

Members Chris Rossi Posted January 29, 2019 Members Share Posted January 29, 2019 @Justin The Union is a wider version of the Senate. The Senate is 0.2" wider than a Vapor and the Union is 0.4". The wider a ski gets, the more surface area it has. Surface area translates to lift, so more surface area rides higher in the water. The slower the boat speed, the deeper a ski rides in the water, reducing its performance and increasing fatigue to the skier. Go with a Union if you are skiing slower speeds (24-32mph) and want more stability and go with a Senate if you are looking for faster speeds (28-34mph) and like a more aggressive line. Both skis are very balanced and intuitive to ride and offer the skier a great platform to progress on. LMK if you have any other questions.

oldjeep Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 So the Union is filling the spot that the P6 used to fill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller brooks Posted January 29, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 29, 2019 @oldjeep that would be filling the spot of the Theory more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef23 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I am not one of the Radar guys but I would say the Katana is closer to what the P6 was but with a little higher envelope. The Union would be a great 30 mph ski. For me I started to struggle with slowing the ski down on the Katana at 32 off and 30 mph. I could run it but it wasn't pretty. I would imagine if I cleaned it up it would help me at 34 mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ski_Dad Posted January 30, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 30, 2019 Does the Senate have a stiffer layup than the Union ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
