Impressed with Armada.

I bought a new pair of AR6's at the beginning of the season, had absolutely no problem, and minimal top sheet chipping. I am very impressed with the versatility, look, and durability of Armada. I would recommend a pair of Armadas to anyone that is considering. Just wanted to throw my 2 cents out there about a legit company with great skis.

I had 185 jj's and they were amazing skis, but lacked stability at speed due too the short length. If they made a 195 jj I would be in love forever. ARMADA PLEASE MAKE ME A 195 JJ

That is literally some of the craziest shit i've ever heard, I literally thought that they were as stable if not moreso than the 191 ANT's, but maybe the JJ's just had an amazing tune, although they did handle the shitty chop better than any ski i've been on. ANT included

don't get me wrong, I weigh 205, and would probably buy a 195 JJ if they made them, that shit would be like a WC downhill ski.  Sounds oh so fun

Agreed, they are pretty much bombproof. I have done enough to mine to make anyother ski tear apart

I've always loved Armada. They just seem to have all the right vibes, and their skis have always looked sick. I've never ridden them, but I've heard so much good stuff. I was contemplating JJ's or Bacons this season, and though the Bacons are sick, I still feel a bit of remorse at not going for the Armadas.

the bubbling on you base is either caused by a defect(in which case you should send them back to armada) or the base wax was applied at too hot of a temperature, it happened to my snowboard, the wax guy burned the base and caused it to boil

i love armada. my ar6 hold up really well. its good that its a smaller company. but armada could be even better if they would make a symmetrical park ski. the ar6 as a symmetrical ski would be sooo dope.
just my 2 cents
