The Oceana has been redesigned and upgraded with Volkl's Progressive Technology specifically designed for novices and intermediates to progress their skiing abilities. The Progressive Technology is a two part process that makes the ski turn with less effort by the skier. Volkl slightly rockers the tip of the ski upwards, calling it Progressive Edge Technology, ensuring easier directional stability which will help progressing skiers build confidence with every turn. The Progressive Flex reduces the core material in the tail to a minimum making it torsionally softer and therefore much easier to exit each turn at a controlled speed which can help correct ''back seat'' skiing. Specifically for women Volkl has made a series of improvements to skiing in the form of Bio-Logic, taking women's anatomy into account in regards to ski stance, geometry and flex. The Bio-Logic Technologies make skiing easier and safer for women due to reduced stress and strain on the muscles to maneuver the skis. The Oceana is making skiing easier for women, so if your looking for a great ski that will help you gain confidence and foster a love for the sport then the Oceana is right for you.
