Red Creek Riller - center groove

Red Creek Riller - center groove creates a centered longitudinal groove for loose tracks, falling snow, and skating.

A tool for track stability: The center groove is used when the surface becomes loose during the race and is particularly relevant for skating, where the tracks often gradually break up.

How to use the product

1. Finish waxing, scraping, and brushing the ski before applying the hand structure.
2. Place the tool in the direction of the arrow and pull it from tip to tail with even pressure.
3. Center the tool carefully and use even pressure so that the groove does not drift sideways.
4. Do not rill the grip wax zone on classic skis.
5. Finish with a fine nylon brush and preferably compare with an unrilled ski.
