Help me out, what’re some skis almost as soft as my Blends? I don’t think anything can possibly be softer but what skis are close?

Vishnu but they remain poppy
And maybe the edollos but I haven't ridden them, they just looked buttery watching people use them

The Blend was my personal ski at LINE that I designed and rode almost exclusively, so when I started this brand in 2013 the first ski my engineer and I designed was the Allplay to be an updated version of the Blend. The skis ended up being quite different in the end and no ski will ever has as soft tips as the Blend, but the Allplay is actually very similar in terms of overall flex - it just comes in at different places. Rather than giving the Allplay super soft tips I gave it a more intelligent flex pattern that flexes underfoot, giving you better grip on groomers and allowing you to take your butters deeper on the skis with more control.

This season we also redesigned the Vacation ski to be a slightly wider version (104mm vs 98mm on the Allplay) which is similar to the Sir Francis Bacon - surfy, playful and fun.
