They aren't prophets either though. They have a sidewall not a cap like the prophets. I'm guessing they are just a wider version of the SFB.

Pollard has been riding 150mm waist skis for years, thats nothing new.

And, Telestar, Pollard's prophets are sidewall, not cap.

what are you all talking about. considering 10 percent of you guys own pow skis, you would realize that the ones pictured arent that fat. the 130s look around that size, so i would assume they are just stock bacons. wehn you see bacons in your shop you will realize what the fuck your eyes set on is a fucking humongous acid trip 'where the wild things are' ski
