I'm looking for a wider park ski that is decently buttery but I want something a little more low-key like an indie brand owned armada b dogs they were nice but just not perfect for how I ski (butters jumps all mountain the occasional rail)

the only issue is line blends are straight booty hole they're too flexy to ski anything outside park and even if you flex them out they'll break on you in a week

If you're really worried about breaking line blends in a week what kind of butters are you ripping?

What deep recess of your ass did you pull that information out of?

I'd recommend Kartel 98s but I'm pretty sure you'll say they are too stiff for butters or that topsheet chips make them unskiable on rails...

I mean he isn't wrong. They are absolutely stupid soft. Also they don't have the best durability. Seen a lot of fucked up lines.

But if you are looking for a stupid soft 100ish underfoot ski to play around on they are pretty damn good at it.

I mean I would disagree with what he said about them. I've had friends with Blends who love them outside of the park and have yet to break them just from getting flexed. I thought it was an ignorant post. He's allowed to not like blends but saying they will break on you just from buttering is stupid.

Anyway OP, like I said. Go buy some Kartels and be happy.

Owned blends before my armadas broke in 10 days was not exactly happy obviously could've been a lemon pair but I've just spent way to much money buying line shit that just has zero durability

I owned blends... had them before my bdogs and literally broke them on my tenth day on a pretty routine nose butter like I guess it could've been a lemon pair but I was not impressed with how they rode
