Since they ski short cuz of the rocker then why do they only make a 177 and 183. Don’t you guys think they should make like a 188-190?

If they only want to make two sizes I feel like it would make more sense to just drop the 177 since most people ride em long

I mean obviously they’re doing something right, also you don’t wanna expand too fast too quickly as they are a small company

Yeah I’m not saying they aren’t, clearly I want a pair and they make good skis. It Just seems like everyone wants the 183s over the 177. Was just suggesting to drop the 177 and make a 188 which doesn’t sound like “expanding too fast”. It’s a general complaint for all ski brands too. Like armada only makes up to a 180 edollo and bdog when I’m sure the longer sizes would be more appreciated.

I would definitely buy some if they made a bigger size. I'm hoping that's what the new model is but we'll see

especially with preference, i think something 190+ for the taller guys would definitely be good.

V's def tend to feel like 10 cm shorter than the actual length, with all that rocker

i'm on 177 blends, hopped on some 177 wets, and felt like i was skiing 168's.

Yeah me too, but I saw someone posted their ig story on here and it looks like the skis are gonna be stiffer like an 8 and rocker looks not as pronounced as wet or wide. Which will be cool for some people but I just want a longer soft ski

Agreed. Got something cooking for tall guys though finally, and for the ladies too.

I’m torn between getting a pair of blends or wets for a small east coast mountain. I usually rode more cambered skis but even so im not sure which I would like more. What did you think since you’ve ridden both?

if you're used to riding heavily cambered skis, the blends are a great middle ground. still a bit of rocker, but stupid soft and fun to jib all over the mountain.

but if you'd be down to try something new, vishnu's are obviously very heavily rockered, but provide a really playful feel without being a complete noodle. i personally like the flex pattern on the wets more than my blends. it's a lot more progressive and stable.

blends are rather wide tho. take all that into consideration and you'll be good.

if i were in your position, planned on riding small park, and prefers a really agile style of riding, i would go with the v wets.

good luck
