Email the manufacturer. Tell them your son story and see if they have any extras laying around, or ask if you can grab a pair should someone cancel their order. Maybe you can pay for a preproduction 2018 model?

Basically ask them what you can do to get on a pair of their sticks. Youd be surprised what happens if you simply ask.

thanks for the good response, thats true out simply asking- atleast with small brands. I contacted tree fort life styles about my suspenders falling apart and they replied right away and offered me a sweet deal.

they're ordering more. no way they'd sell out before the season starts and never make another production run. just be patient

If the small hipster "company" can't afford a decent sized order from whatever asian sweatshop they order from.....find another.

lol this is retarded. no small startup is ever going to order more than they can guarantee will sell in their first production run of the year. that's how small companies go under quickly. but if you'd rather support a big-box company that doesn't give a shit about you and will never listen to your plea for a warranty, go right ahead

camber makes a ski snappy, rocker makes a ski buttery. the balance between stiff camber and soft rocker is what gives a ski its personality. the vishnu wet is supposed to be stiff and responsive underfoot, and extra soft at the ends for those huge butters

East_the_Skiwhy does HG only sell skis in size 178??


production in multiple sizes is not easy, very expensive, and a decent amount of work.

178 is a very good size to accommodate most people who would look into this company (not a 12 year old), so instead of making 182 and 176, you compromise at 178.

They probably use the same molds as Jski's.

I got Atomic Backlands this summer before they were released bc my gf went straight to the manufacturer, was able to get hooked up with a dude at the wearhouse where they were had an extra pair for pros who were traveling to the Southern hemisphere.

Go straight there. Skip the ski shop.

HG was making skis at that factory since 2011 I believe, maybe 2010. J started in 2013. HG went with a ski they had been pressing themselves and just transitioned to having the factory for production. I don't suspect they or J went with existing molds at the factory.
