If you check these out ask him if they're the new 3 stage rocker or the older continuous. Not a huge diff, the new ones are my preference though.

Do HO's only come in one size? Stereo has 144 and 154, I only have seen HO skis in 144.

They do have two different sizes/shapes/riding style
the first HO's that came out were longer, narrower, and had a continuous rocker. The later ones, (not sure when they came out, my friend bought a pair last year) are shorter, wider, 3 stage rocker. I prefer his over mine, not sure why..they just seem more user friendly. Sorry, don't know the length of each off hand. |

It looks like HO only offers one size in any given year. I somehow have an 2008 and a 2012 HO catalog.
In 08, they were longer, with the continuous rocker. In 2012, they were shorter with the 3 stage. Not sure when they switched though. This is the 2012 model: http://hosports.com/wakeskis/140_rad_w/rekless |

I'm guessing that they just don't sell enough of them yet, to offer different sizes. |

I just picked up a pair of 2011 stereos. Now I need to find some bindings. Stereo bindings are pretty pricey. I might try picking up a set of ho bindings. Mdvalant, do yours have different mounting positions like an alpine ski? Like can you do a more forward mount if you plan on a lot of switch skiing?

I may be wrong, but I think my skis came with a couple holes to add the HO bindings to them. We didn't buy the bindings, we just used some wiley jump bindings we had laying around so we had to drill new holes and put those on. On the HO's you can drill and add new where ever you wish, but they did not really offer you to go anywhere but right in the middle of the ski. I wouldn't recommend going off center, they ride high in the water on boat side regardless of where the weight/boot is.

The newer Wiley plates have holes in all the proper locations to fit most insert patterns. You can swap this plate on any binding really.
