The news came straight from Kommander Industries headquarters. The photo illustrates Steve Webster’s latest project which involves the fitting of a Kawasaki 130hp Direct Injection engine inside the S4 hull. According to Webster this ski should be legal to ride it in Lake Tahoe and Lake Mead where two-stroke skis are forbidden to use.
