I have surface royales that have super soft tails, but are already starting to delam and will snap soon. I'm 5'6 120 pounds and want to buy a crazy soft pair of skis (im talkin lean back and fall over) at the end of this year. I'm going to size up as i will probably grow. what skis you guys recommend? I want softest possible don't care about stability

pre-used line blends are like skiing on a sheet of cardboard

The line traveling circus is coming to my home mountain soon when they come ill see how their skis are looking,
someone I know said they skied 4 pairs of blends in a row (was a while ago ) and said my skis were more flexy then the blends he skied

Line Blends probably. IF you want something softer than go with a high end kids ski. I snapped the nose on my skis a little while back so the only set up I had were my skis from a long time ago, 155 Faction Ct 2.0 Jr. Sounds ridiculous but I wanted to go ski and it was my only option. And the first thing I did was try a tail butter and looped out flat to my back. Once I got used to them they were actually pretty fun. I was thankfully to get my normal skis back. I don't recemend that you do this, but you said you wanted soft skis and don't care about stability so...

This does work, I was just asking about flexiblitiy in normal sized skis where you don't have as much leverage as short skis

Blends are the obvious answer, but if you're looking for more options could also consider Nomad 95s, Vacations, BDogs, Wets.

Because they’re stiff. Wets don’t snap because they’re so soft. Now old blends, aka like 2018 and older, holy FUCK were those things soft. Would love to ride a pair of the 2016s I believe with the Joy Divisions Unknown Pleasures album cover topsheet.

I had the 2021 blends for a few weeks until they broke and I gotta say the tails were not that soft. My chronics felt pretty much just as soft. The noses are a lot softer though.
