A sharper bevel under the front binding transitions to a rounder bevel in the tail, providing lift and speed in the nose of the ski while creating suction in the tail for tighter turns.

This defining characteristic of the ski helps it sit deeper in the water when on edge, giving the skier extra “bite” for powerful and controlled turns.

Shadow Ski Binding

By far our most user-friendly design, the Shadow water ski binding includes a stretch panel in the toe, providing adaptable expansion and compression for a proper fit across various foot sizes.

The Lycra lined toe and heel wrap is molded to fit snug without causing pressure points. Our soft EVA footbed is set in a super-lite plate to keep you comfortable behind the boat.

The Connelly Men’s Shadow can be used as a front or rear binding.
