Hey NS. I "work" at a shop and I am able to get a good deal on a pair of Blends. Last season I skied my Wets into the ground and I loved skiing them. I was wondering how the Blend will compare to the Wets. Thanks for the help.

At least the shape is different, blends have more traditional shape and rather chill rocker profile compared to wets

have only tried the older blends (2020 and older) they felt like they had a hingepont for flex rather then a round flex like vishnu.
the blends feel both stable and unstable at the same time whenever i have tried them, butters feel kinda sick but i tend to overpower them.

i think the blend and wet are very different ski even though they are both soft and playful.

blends break faster, have less rocker and a hinge point. if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
