Title says it all looking for a long ski with some meat underfoot. Not looking for next years skis or even this years skis, looking for something cheap.

I'm currently on Kung Fujas from a few years back and I want something a little wider with a little rocker.

Thanks

medium stiffness. I'm 6'6" so most skis are pretty soft for me(which i'm fine with)

Bi-directional

Nothing super specific. Essentially i have been looking for something similar to the line blend or the nordica soul rider but 190+. Unfortunately once you get past 190 skis generally get considerably fatter and stiffer.

I'm looking for something that is softer then the death wish and the rocker 2.

The tst would be great if it was more of a bi-directional ski.

Pretty sure from what I've seen of Line's 2013/2014 catalogue next year's SFBs will be produced in 190+ size. Just wait an hour or so until I've got my laptop and I can take a look at the catalogue and give you an exact size on the SFBs.

Why don't you look on ski company websites instead of asking a bunch of fucktards and getting a bunch of random answers...

Another to consider is the Kaslte BMX108 its one of the few ive found in the sub 115 to come in a 195.

The rocker2 108 Is pretty effing soft, and skis super short. The TST is pretty phenominal, I have the 192 mounted 2.5 cm back of center and it seems to be the perfect balance of stability at speed, turnability, and the ability to load up the tail when carving. They ski switch alright as well.

If you step up to the obsethed from the fujas, I think you'll fit we'll. has more rocker( kills it in the trees) ! Stiffer underfoot , and can dominate the whole mountain! 189 is max length, super agile, not too heavy. Mount at about + 2 or 3 from traditional, and they turn just by thinking about it' you can grab a brand new pair on Evo.com outlet.. ( 2011 model) sane as the 2012 model! They rip on groomers too!me.. 6'3", 208lbs. Type III + . 38 yr old

Check out the 189 one lifes, yeah you're 1 whole cm shorter than 190 but id definitely consider it. ive got the 179s and they are amazing in everything, they ski powder super well, narrow enough that you arent sitting on top of it, and the crazy rocker design makes it ski really well, you can really rotate and surf around at slower and medium speeds, its super playful in that way, and really nimble, and at high speeds it gets super chargey, you really notice the sidecut and stiffness when your charging super hard, you can make real big gs turns and like slash out of them, ive never skiied anything that likes to slash like these do. and they kill it in chopped up stuff, actually make it fun.
