I just can’t find a good deal on a sakana 800€ is just too much for me. I want them so bad but just can’t find them used or the last seasons model isnt available in 181.

so to my question:
Which ski is very similar to this one? Price doesn’t matter at first because I may can find it used for cheap.
it should carve hard asf but still should rip hard enough in the backcountry…
any tips?
Thanks

The Sir Francis Bacon is pretty much a twined Sakana from what I hear. Not sure if you can find them cheaper.
