I've had J whipits, but they broke after 40 days of riding them, they are rockered with camber under foot, light, and super flexy.

does anyone know what kind of ski has traits similar to this except with far better durability?

Maybe take a look at ON3P Kartels or Line Blends, just off the top of my head. Heard great things about ON3P's durability, however some mixed opinions on Line's, so I'd just be wary of that.

Icelantic da'nollie. Its little bit skinnier but also flexy and rockered. Durability is on point too.

Incredible ski, but he wants them to have similar traits. These two skis are pretty much opposites besides the edges. I've ridden both for 30+ days and Kartels are sooo much stiffer. I can hand flex my J Whipits until they almost make a half-circle. I think the ON3P filthy rich is closer to the whipit judging by weight and waist width.

Da mollies might be the way to go, more durable than j skis imo. I'm rising mine and love em, I would bevel the top sheets to prevent chipping, they can chip a lot but doesn't effect anything
