Whats Up NS,

Haven't been on here in a while was looking at the new blends for this up and coming season. Has anyone heard anything about these or know how they perform?
If you do let me know either here or threw DM.

I believe they are the same as last years, which I have a pair of sitting unmounted on my floor. The are very very soft in the tip while stiffer underfoot and slightly less soft in the tail. If you have any other questions I could answer from just handling them ask away.

what's the flex like? I have a 2012 pair and they're sort of heavy. Do you know by any chance how light these are compared to 2012?. Thanks

I have the 2009s which are basically 2012s without rocker. The 2009s are probabaly the heavyiest ski I've ridden besides k2 recoils. The 2015s are noticeably lighter cause they dont have the giant chunky sidewalls anymore and half cap instead, and the swing weight is way less cause it goes to completely cap like 2/3rds of the way to the end of the ski.

as for flex on a scale of 1 to ten I would say the 2009s are a 6 while the 2015s are more like a 4.
