Does such a ski exist?

A ski that has the same amount of rocker, the same softness and the same fun as the Hellbent except in a much smaller waist? Something like 90-100 waist? Basically a much thinner hellbent with the same characteristics. Does it exist? I know that there's the Moment Reno Rocker, but is it as soft and rockered?

Moment Bibby pros.  They have a 115 waist but ski a little smaller.  Flex is soft enough but still super stable.  Dope jib-sticks for sure.

That sounds dope but still quite wide. Maybe I put it wrong, something closer to the 90 side of things. I already have bents, and love the wide, rockered skis, but they get a little bit sluggish in the park. I basically am trying to find out if there's something like a park size waisted Hellbent. So ya, lets say closer to 90, instead of 110.

I know you said you know of the Reno Rockers, but I think those are probably your best bet.

Kinda pullin this outta my ass, but the Salomon Lord, 09?  87 mm waist and rockered susposidly. 

Or what about the Seth?  98mm this year right and rockered, pretty soft too, I really wanted to get this ski.

I think I'm getting the reno rocker though, looks like a sick ski, hopefully its not too soft.

a reason for sluggishness in the park is definitely weight on the hellbent side.  i'm not joking here: compare the bibbies to last years wrs (this years ghetto?).  They are ridiculously light.

i dont see the point of having a stiff rockered ski designed for park, ive skiied stiff rockered pow skis before and i have more trouble buttering with them than with my lizzies. if some company is gonna make a rockered park ski it better be pretty damn soft. cause while rocker does help for buttering, having a soft ski like the invader is much better for butters, but soft and rocker together would be amazing.

i think im gonna rocker my anthems late season cause im getting other skis next season.

I believe this is true. Next years Seth's have a full rocker though I think.
