1260 claimed to be in its day, i think the SPK is about the smae weight. I've been hearing a lot about Moments shit being insanely light

Proportionally, my gotamas are pretty light.  They are lighter than my fujatives (179 fuji, 183 goat).  They probobly arnt the lightest, but the lightest Ive dealt with. so yay.

Surface Watch Life are super light.
So are Rossignol Scratch FS WRS.

To whoever is saying Armada or Völkl: NO.

Keep in mind that bindings make up a great deal of the weight.

The lightest I've ever felt were foils, old line 1260's, and my invaders.   It's not so much the weight of the ski though, as it is the binding.

i ride '07 foils with Z12 Ti bindings. The setup is super light.

At the ski show this year I held a bunch of other skis...includin the Jon pro model ... some line's and k2 silencer. They were all felt way heavier than the foils.

Keep in mind the foils have a foam core.

A really light setup for '08 I think would be the Salomon Thrusters with the STH 16 binding.

Moment Reno Jibs are the lightest skis I've ridden.  My 181's have half the swing weight of 175 troublemakers, 179 invaders, 180 scratches.  Those are the main skis I've ridden so I don't know about some of the others.

My Moment Reno Jibs are lighter (without bindings)... it's insane.

I've heard JO Pros are pretty damn light... and I guess it would be too, with the new Hollow Glass thing

Sometimes, however, the lightest ski isn't the best, because often you sacrifice durability to lose weight.
