I got myself a pair of afterbangs this season only to realize that they didn't live up to the hype. I found that them to be getting waterlogged and I had them delaminate three times. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

They definitely should have kept cranking out the Invaders. I don't even know what Line skis look like anymore. Once they dropped the Anthem, I stopped following them.

I'd say they're lines worst skis based on what i've heard. I haven't had a problem with my chronics yet though

This. Anthems=most fun park ski ever. WHY they would replace them with some weird fucking skateboard-skis, I will never understand.

I love my bangs and my step-ups. I haven't had any real issues and they are both extremely fun. Mah two cents.

I was thinking about buying some, but now maybe not. But if they delaminate, etc. will Line replace them?

They will as long as there isn't any other visable damage that could have lead to the problem.

Let me say this, out of all the skis I have seen returned for warranty this year, I have yet to see a pair of waterlogged Afterbangs or Step-ups.

I think a lot of you guys are confusing a ski getting wet for it being waterlogged.
