The EZ-Slalom Standard Portable Slalom Course

As stated elsewhere the EZ-SLALOM portable slalom course is the Best Built, Best Engineered, and Best Value portable slalom course available. We've moved beyond the old standard to create a higher standard. It's a fact that we have indeed created the NEW STANDARD based on our thorough research and extensive testing of every possible aspect of what a top notch portable slalom course should be and what it should (and shouldn't) do.

Here's a partial list of the reasons that EZ-SLALOM has become the STANDARD:
- Unique One Piece Mainline Design - built from one continuous length of rope for superior strength and longer life. Simply superior design!

- Telescoping Buoy Arms - Built from the best PVC pipe available Designed for Easy, Tool Free setup and take down. Average setup time is 15 - 25 minutes

- Two Compact Buoy Arm Designs - Choose the one that works best for your situation

- Better Buoy Line Design - For easier function and fewer ruined buoys

- Guaranteed to meet USAWS & IWSF dimensions

- Guaranteed to Last - You have our Ten Year Warranty to back it up

- Affordable Price - At only $649 including shipping (EZ-Slalom Standard) you won't find a better value anywhere. And with our QUALITY you won't find a better value at ANY price!

More Compact Standard Arm Design

The first of our two innovative buoy arm designs is the EZ-SLALOM STANDARD. This design is a six-piece arm whose pieces telescope and interlock (see diagram above). It breaks down into three sections when in the stored position, each section consisting of two pieces of pipe, one stored within the other. This six-piece arm design has been the standard since the telescoping buoy arm first came into use more than twelve years ago.

So what is the primary difference between our design and the old standard? Others arm sections are 96” long (measured in their collapsed or stored position, the way you’d have them while transporting them). Our EZ-SLALOM SANDARD's arms are 94 1/2”, one and one-half inches shorter.

“One and one-half inches isn’t very much difference” you’re probably thinking. True, it doesn’t sound like much of a difference. Until you’re trying to get these arms into or out of the floor of your average inboard boat (i.e. early 90's MasterCraft ProStar 190, whose floor space measures 96" from the observers seat to the rear wall, rear seat removed, no trunk) without snagging the upholstery or scratching the gel coat. Then that inch and one-half becomes a HUGE difference.

If your buoy arms are 96" long and you have a floor space length of 96", what happens? What's likely to happen is that while fighting these arm sections into or out of the floor of your boat you're more likely to snag the upholstery or scratch a gel coated surface inside the boat. With the shorter EZ-SLALOM arm sections you now have enough room to stuff some towels around the ends of the buoy arm pipe bundles and still be able to get the arm sections in and out without tearing up your boat. A small thing, but one that creates a MAJOR functional improvement!

If you’re as picky about your boat as we are about ours that is a HUGE difference! 94 and 1/2 inches is as short as the standard six-piece arm section can be built and still maintain critical USAWS spec’s for boat lane width and turn buoy to boat lane centerline dimensions. Ever wonder why someone didn’t think of it sooner?

Our six-piece arm breaks down into three more compact sections. Our STANDARD arm design is easier than the others to transport in both your boat and vehicle because the arm sections are shorter. They're still fast and easy to set up and take down but they're also easier to get into and out of the floor of your boat without tearing up your upholstery or gouging your gel coat. We've made our six-piece arm as compact as is possible without compromising any of the courses dimensions established by USAWS & IWSF. If you require an even more compact course design see the Compact Course Page for information on our other innovative buoy arm design, the EZ-SLALOM Compact .

As stated above, at only $619 the EZ-SLALOM STANDARD is THE standard for price and value. And at only $629 the EZ-SLALOM COMPACT sets new standards for toughness and compactness and gives you significantly more bang-for-the-buck than the competition's twelve year old design. Both of our course designs include our unique one-piece mainline which by itself sets a New Standard for mainline design. See our EZ-SLALOM COMPARISON page for specific information on all of the well engineered features of our portable slalom courses.
