Unsure if this is in here but anybody have any info on when the new vishnu stuff drops? Want pair of wets and don't really wanna settle on something I done think I'd really like
Yeah, as Weaz said, that name is taken. It's bad enough when the big brands take names the indies are already using (looking at you Elan) but a smaller brand like Surface should be able to google "Cleaver Ski" and see that there's an established model and come up with a different name.
Graphic is fine, shape looks like the old G3 Synase which was an... odd... ski.

That ski has sooooo much taper, even more than the synapse I think. Are there any skis with more taper?

I could totally see someone forgetting which completely irrelevant and forgetao ski company’s cleaver they were talking about.
I’m pretty aware of the Indy ski brand scene and honestly had no clue either were still producing skis.

Yeah, I’m not saying they should have known off the top of their head, but part of naming any product is doing due diligence. It’s not like it’s that obscure, the FWT was won on it last year, and again, the most perfunctory of Googles brings up a bunch of results.
They should have to field a big mountain skier of their own to compete against Freeland for the skis name.

I never see anyone skiing Surface especially, except for a local influencer around here who got a free pair haha. Even when I lived in UT for a year and the week long trip I took there last week, didn't ever see a single pair.

Haha but then on the flip side almost every kid on the freestyle team out here is riding them like they’re going outta style.
Mr_pretzelNo 192 BO118 in the catalog, but wouldn’t be the first time rossi doesnt include something.
I’m super excited if thats actually true
They said they just started making protos of the 192 118 this season, so I think it was a late addition and might be a similar release to what they did with the Sender Squad this past year. They said the 192 118 is what Pehota's been on this year, along with a 194 BO110.

Hmm, I’m pretty sure pehota’s just been on the 186 BO116, but who knows
I think they'd be a better boat anchor than strapped to my feet.
Thats fine, my opinion is that I like heavier skis more for inbounds skiing, you like light ones.
but you have so many options for light twin tips and there very few options for heavy ones, go choose any of the light options instead of complaining that the few heavy options are too heavy.
Agreed on the heavier skis chain. Touring wise im all for shaving weight but in bounds you need that weight to blast through stuff. Shaving weight would lower one of the black ops best characteristics: chop destroying
What you do is you get the b ops, and when in need of a gun, wang em on the head with your b opsand ski away, get the 192 and you’ll have 6 more cm of range
SendyMcSendyfacewell fuck me sideways, now i've gotta decide between these and a new gun
Agreed and well said, I hate it when people complain about ski weight, if it’s too heavy then it’s not for you go buy a noodle, don’t mess with our 190+ skis, truly damp skis or chargers, it’s so hard to find good 190+ skis and some of us are always asking for companies to increase length, dampness etc, we don’t need any1 complaining, as I already said there’s a lightweight noodle for you bambis out there

mystery3That ski has sooooo much taper, even more than the synapse I think. Are there any skis with more taper?
Reverse sidecut skis are almost all taper. Kappa
Honestly tho, even though the ski has a steep taper, I don't think the actual length of taper along the sidecut is particularly long.
Marksman for comparison:

Light doesn't mean soft. Ride whitewalkers. Or hojis. Or ravens. All stiff. All light.
Heavy skis have their place, light skis have their place.
The BO118 is cool because it is heavy and has a playful shape.
Yes sorry I'm not arguing with anyone I'm just joking around in the end. Skis are so personal i could care less if people want to shred heavy or light or soft or stiff skis for any reason. It's all good.

Hey it made me watch your 2013 season edit and brought back some good memories. Good stuff
