The name of Elan’s Ripstick 88 Skis provides all the information you need– these things rip.

They feature Elan’s unique Amphibio Profile and Tubelite Woodcore with carbon fiber stringers.

They also boast Elan’s Carbon Technology which combines the Tubelite core with unidirectional edge bands to boost the ski's powerful yet playful feel and responsiveness.

A tried and true sintered base finishes this ski off, along with Flax Fiber technology for vibration damping and shock absorption when things get bumpy. If you need a pair of sticks that rip, look no further. Elan’s Ripstick 88 has got you covered.

Tubelite Wood Core – To create the TubeLite Wood Core, two super lightweight Carbon tubes are inserted into a lightweight laminated wood core. Measuring 5mm in diameter and hollow in their construction, these tubes run along the length of the ski following the arc of the side cut. They provide torsional stability and powerful rebound while allowing for material reduction of the core. The result is incredible lightweight response and stability.

Carbon Deck Technology – A construction using Elan's TubeLite Woodcore, Carbon Rods, UD Carbon, and Flax Fiber in a carefully prescribed layup for a combination of power and versatility

Fiberglass – Fiberglass reinforcement optimizes the flex pattern and enhances torsional rigidity of the ski. The fibers are positioned either above or below the ski core and improve the ski’s structural integrity.
