Connelly Big Daddy Slalom Ski With Swerve

The Connelly Big Daddy Slalom Ski with Swerve front boot and Swerve RTP is purpose-built for larger skiers and beginners who want an easy, confidence-inspiring ride at slower speeds. Known as the world-famous “Big Guy” ski, the Connelly Big Daddy Slalom Ski stands out for its exceptional surface area and forgiving design, making it one of the most user-friendly slalom skis in the Connelly lineup.

With an impressive 550 square inches of surface area, the Big Daddy provides excellent flotation and stability on the water. The wide tip and tail work in combination with Connelly’s Tracking System (C.T.S.) to deliver effortless deep water starts, allowing skiers to get up quickly and with minimal effort. This design is particularly beneficial for heavier riders or those new to slalom skiing, reducing fatigue and frustration during starts.

Despite its generous width, the Big Daddy features a narrower underfoot design that helps maintain smooth, controlled performance once up and skiing. This shape, paired with a forgiving flex pattern, allows the ski to perform comfortably at speeds of 28 mph and under, delivering stable tracking and predictable turns without feeling sluggish. The result is a ski that feels supportive yet manageable, encouraging confidence and progression.

At the core of the Connelly Big Daddy Slalom Ski is a closed cell polyurethane resin construction, offering durability and consistent flex characteristics. This is paired with a recreational glass flex sequence, tuned specifically for comfort and forgiveness rather than aggressive response. Connelly’s Advanced Profile Technology (C.A.P.T.) further refines the ski’s shape, while the polished base promotes smooth glide and efficiency across the water.

The Connelly Big Daddy Slalom Ski is equipped with a standard tunnel and an aluminum drop-through fin, reinforcing straight-line tracking and directional stability. This setup contributes to the Big Daddy’s reputation as a dependable, easy-going slalom ski that performs reliably for its intended riders. So confident is Connelly in the Big Daddy’s performance that it is backed by the industry’s only Performance Guarantee.

The included Swerve front boot is designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, using an elastomer wrap that conforms easily to the contours of the foot. The EVA heel and Lycra-lined floating toe provide soft, adjustable comfort across a wide range of foot sizes. Laces can be fully loosened to open the binding wide for easy entry and exit, then tightened and secured using the wheel lock system for a ready-to-ski fit. The Swerve RTP completes the setup, providing a matched rear toe plate designed specifically to complement the Swerve front binding.
