so i need to make a decision. The line blend or the k2 kung fujas.
i know there quite similar but i want the best of the best for me.
I'm 5"10 175lbs and i can ski everything.
i live in michigan around a small shitty hill. BUT i have chances to go out west a lot and up north to bohemia n whatnot so ill need a ski thats good everywhere.
ive ridden last years seths and i liked how soft and playful they were but ill have a park specific ski so ill be able to play on those.
i would to know is the flex patterns between the two cause i havent got a chance to play with either of em
probly horribly written im tired from football but give some good input and ask questions and ill answer them. thanks

i found the blends a little softer when i flexed them. and they are a little wider which is nice. but both would be killer for you. i guess its really down to which graphic you like best. they are really similar and both made by K2

they're made in the same factory and line is owned by K2, but Line doesn't use the same construction or practices, so they'll ski differnt, K2 loves it's triaxle braid figerglass thingy which tends to make the skis heavier, and feel stiffer in a hand flex.

That's weird, I felt the blends were slightly stiffer than the fujas. I skied both and I loved both. It comes down to if you want a slightly stiffer ski for more variable conditions or a slightly softer ski for softer conditions. I'm about the same size as you(thread creator) and I skied them in slushy conditions. Indeed they are very similar skis and you'll be happy with either one for sure.
