They seem dope, found some in a shop flexed them, definitely poppy and light. Discuss.

seen them before here on ns, but never in person or anything. seem dope. only thing they seem to have on kitten factory and on3p is the 7500 base.

so does the 7500 series base just mean that its harder than say on3p and KFs 4001 series?

I used to work with a guy who swore by them, was absolutely in love. Ive never personally skied on them but they looked like they were pretty solid skis. If I'm not mistaken they are bamboo core which is kinda cool. Seemed durable and well made. He was so stoked on them that he ended up getting involved with the company and I believe became one of the reps for the midwest for a while

They do have a bamboo core which is why they pop. They also have a bamboo sidewall which they claim is more durable than abs. Idk about exposed wood sidewalls though. Then again, there are the afterbangs.

Interested to see hear from people why they like them. Not a fan of vacuum bag pressing, or wooden sidewalls... two cardinal sins in ski making for me.

Probably not fair to compare a bamboo sidewall with a Line ski made like a skateboard.
