Im looking to buy new ski there gonna be used for park skiing (65%) and for tree skiing/EC ''powder (35%) i like a really soft ski and i guess wider is better !  I was wondering if the kung fujas as a similair flex to the domains ( ive hand flexed some and try a pair for a couple runs). any other mid fat ( around 95-105) soft ski ? (a cool rocker is a + too!)

seeing as the domains are symmetrical and the kung fujas are not, not the flex is not the same at all.

if you want a playful ski in the 100ish range look into line blends and moment pb&j's, or stay with the kung fujas.

this is for the PB&J so overall it's pretty stiff, it has camber underfoot with rocker in the tip and tails, which is the best form of rocker for all mountain use.

This current years Line Blend is soft, and has a similar rocker profile to the pb&j

I ride the Kung fujas on the east coast. They r amazing for everything, I've never hit a rail with them but they r super playful and great for surfy turns butters and alll around jibbing, plus they slay all over

i would suggest looking at the line blends, they are 100 underfoot, pretty damn buttery, light, and they got a bit of early rise... best park ski with 100 underfoot

if you really want soft, you want Blends, they are the softest ski in the range you are talking about.
Blend flex...

the icelantics are right in the middle of softness, similar to the pb&j, if you want a really soft all mountain ski go with the blend.

Leigh rides them in the PBP Movie... Specs wise they are very similar to the Line SFB, though I imagine they are a little stiffer just going by past Line/Icelantic comparisons. I used to ride the SFB for park and liked them a lot, now I ride the Blend which is noticeably lighter/easier to spin but softer and a bit less stable. I'm sure that comparison will hold true for the Blend/RKR.
The RKR looks like a rad ski, I'd love to give them a try. I guess it depends how good your deal on them is. If they are significantly cheaper than the Blend, I'd risk it and get them, I've loved the Icelantics I have skied.

Since no one has answered the question yet, and I've ridden them both, here it is: Kung Fujas is softer than the Domain.
