Lowest hump? was created by Steve Hansen
I'm curious which skis have the lowest hump between the seat and the footwell? Likewise, does this make a big difference in technique(leg drive)or is leg drive just lost when conditions get big and bumpy?

Nelo has almost no hump at all. Stellars are very low. Epics are low. Placement of hump varies also. Shorter inseam men and women have more problems with the hump. However over the years hump height has come down in most models in the past 3 years. I posted an article in December 2012 on this topic.

The new Vajda Hawx and the Nelo skis have very low humps. Leg drive is available in both skis for flatwater. I've owned both and when waves are rockin', I'd prefer the Vajda Hawx. Love my new ski!
