there are no side walls(cap construction). Has a big tail. Its a decent ski, very soft in the tip and they get squirlly at high speed.

not really...there is really no diff in performance, they just look diff
cap construction is where the top sheet raps aroung the sides too while sandwich construction has separate side walls

i think cap is better cuz with sandwich construction the top sheets chip easier...and all skis have sidewalls just some are caped and some are sandwiches..

They are correct... the cap raps around the side to the edge...
but "Cap" construction is alot softer of ski  than a "Side Wall" edged ski "non capped"
Fujative -Cap construction, Super Soft
Public Enemy - Side Wall Construction, More Stiff

Pretty much ANY ski that is cap construction is gonna be softer.

i got last year and they're nasty, bt the sidewall is like t-hall's, and if you jib, get Pub Enemies, because they have sidewall, that are a new "goo" structure and take some shock off your knees, and they also aren't torn up as easy as hard wall skis, but if you don't jib, go Fugi's they are insane a real steal for the price, plus the graphics are sick this year
