Should I Buy The Vishnu Wet?

Dear NS,
I need your opinions. I normally wouldn't even think of buying a first year ski model from a brand new company, but i haven't been this hyped for a ski in a long time. they just look so fun and playful. I shred northern Michigan (nothing that steep and no real pow days), but am worried about the durability, how much such a rockered and flexy ski has flappy tips at speed, if they carve well, ect. Will you guys please help and if not vishnu's suggest something else?
Thanks everyone

they look really sick, and iv been a fan of them since i saw them. if i had the money, id wait a bit into the season, until some more reviews come in.

I'm from Michigan as well and when I was up at boyne I passes this place called shaggys. I don't know if you've heard of them but they build skis right there at a small building in the boyne city area. Don't know if they're worth checking out, but its cool that they're built locally

I actually have a couple friends who ski on their team :). Their park ski (The Betsy) is great, but its too stiff for my liking. also if you ever come to nubs, hit me up!

Haven't skied them but just based on seeing them irl and talking to the guys they seem to be pretty damn durable. They aren't actually very rockered, just really soft in tip and tail. I'd pull the trigger if you have the coin, dope planks

The skis are so damn fun and just as durable as any other company is going to be if not more. They are super light, symmetrical, and poppy. The flex was designed for manuals/ presses. They hold up very well at High speeds and have a super fun midsize turn radius. The rocker definitely makes it more fun in the slush and snow and for butters but honestly doesn't effect how it rides at higher speeds. I swear they are the nicest.
