Skier to Skier builds the best magnet in the industry.
Our magnets are high quality magnets
designed to provide exacting timing tolerances.
Skier to Skier is the number one supplier of magnets
for slalom and jump courses around the world - we have
shipped to over 33 different countries! Our magnets are used at many ski schools
around the world, sold by all the major dealers, and have been used in numerous high profile record tournaments including
the U.S Open, the WaterSki Pro Tour, US Nationals, Regionals, and the World Championships! We
support the industry and give to USA WaterSki. Don't be fooled by some guy
working out of his garage that says a 1.2 pound magnet will work for all systems
- that is a very little bitty magnet. We are the
largest supplier of magnets in the water ski industry.
Key Benefits
- Soft yet tough boat friendly Spongex foam casing.
Our magnets last yet offer a
gentle bump to your boat.
- Our Beaver Resistant magnets are incased in hard PVC
with closed cell foam to resist beavers and muskrats. Will damage your
boat if you hit them.
- Exact magnet core placement for true timing accuracy.
- PVC center to allow easy installation.
- Double-zapped magnetic material to insure a strong and evenly distributed magnetic
field.
- Magnets utilized deflective fielding which offers a
greater energy field.
- Slalom Magnets feature an extended PVC pipe core for those who like to
space them with PVC pipe spacers.

Questions:
- Which slalom magnet if for me?
Slalom Economy X Magnets: We designed this magnet as an economy choice
for skiers. The Economy X magnet is great magnet
that is just slightly buoyant and very compact. This
magnet is based on our S-One-X technology. A great magnet for folks
who want to add magnets to their course. Not for tournament use.
. At $17.20 -- it is hard to beat.
Slalom One - X: Utilizes
the same magnetic deflection technology as our Jump Magnets. The S-1-X is
the Go-To magnet for tournament skiers. One-X
magnets are our number one best selling slalom magnet. Other features are a
7/8inch hole in the middle and more buoyancy.
Compatible with PerfectPass and virtually all other timing systems.
Slalom Two: This magnet was
designed to be placed extra deep to keep it out of harms
way from the weekend Wally's on the lake. The S-2 is our
strongest magnet and works great with all timers. Must
be located well below the surface of the lake to keep from over saturating
timer pickups. This magnet is huge and will destroy the
magnetic stripe on a credit card in your wallet if you get it to
close. Works great for timing submarine races too. Do not mix with S-1 magnets in the same course.
Available in two styles: Regular SOFT
Spongex foam and Beaver Resistant HARD PVC
casing. Note: Beaver Resistant magnets
will damage your boat if you hit them.

- Will Skier to Skier magnets work with all timing
systems? YES!
We have a magnet for all timing systems.
- How can a magnet on a surveyed course produce
a bad time? This is an easy
one! The better timing systems measure the center of the
magnet. If the magnet is tipped or is molded into the buoy at an
angle, the actual trigger point on the surface will move in relationship to
the angle of the magnet. Thus, if the end gate magnet is tipped toward
the course and the three ball magnet is tipped toward the end gates, a
perfectly good pass could register as fast. Our magnets are machined
by precise specialty machines to make certain the magnet is always in line
with the buoy. You do not have to worry about tipped magnets with our
magnets.
- How many magnets are in your buoys?
Number of magnets means little in magnetic timing. There are basically
three items to consider when considering magnet strength. One:
Mass of magnet when magnetized. 2 discs that are a
half inch thick will be stronger than 3 discs that are a quarter inch
thick. Watch out for people who stack up discs after they are
magnetized --this produces a vastly weaker magnet.. Two:
Type of magnetic media -- we use long lasting permanent ceramic media -- not
the cheap stuff. Three:
Deflection -- we magnetize our magnets to maximize the shape of the field.
- Looks like you cut the top off the buoy to
build the magnets -- is that going to fall apart? NO!
The most labor intensive way to build a magnet is the way we do it. We
know of no other way to insure complete perpendicular alignment to the
surface of the water. We utilize very expensive and strong adhesives
in building our magnets. They will not fall apart!
- Do you have any pictures of how some people install
magnets? YES!
For liability reasons, we do not endorse any particular method of installation.
The key is to install the magnets with safety in mind. Some of
our customers have sent us some pictures -- including a drawing of Ed
Brazil's famous finger trap method of adjusting your course buoys. FYI
-- this page has a ton of pictures and may take a while to load. View
at your own risk and remember: be safe! Click here for some pictures.
