HO Sports Syndicate Hardshell Boot (Front Boot)
The HO Sports Syndicate Hardshell Boot & Binding System is one of the most proven and respected systems in tournament waterskiing. Designed for maximum reliability, performance, and adjustability, this front boot has been refined with key upgrades to deliver an even more precise and connected feel to the ski.
At the core of the system is the new aluminum Pro Plate, featuring longer mounting slots for increased forward and backward adjustment on skis with traditional hole patterns. The updated medium-volume liner is thinner throughout, improving feedback, control, and connection while maintaining comfort and support.
The adjustable stainless steel heel release mechanism allows skiers to fine-tune release tension based on weight and personal preference, while the industry-unique Full Contact Outsole ensures complete contact between boot and plate. This reduces lateral movement, increases stability, and enhances agility on the water.
Snow-ski-inspired aluminum micro-adjust buckles provide precise tightening, with a memory buckle on the upper cuff delivering consistent fit every set. Added durability comes from a 50% thicker protective coated stainless steel toe hoop and upgraded stainless steel release components, designed to perform reliably even in salt or brackish water.
Note: The Syndicate Hardshell is offered as a front boot only and pairs perfectly with a Syndicate Venom Boot or Classic Rear Toe Plate.
