hello,

I was looking for some fresh sticks recently, my eye was on vishnu wets, but they don't ship to my country so I have to pick something different. My budget is 400-500eur max and the shop/brand need to be in Europe.
Im looking for something light and playful, mostly for jibbing and cruising around the park. No big jumps, just some smaller ones.
Could you help me chose some skis please? My picks are: Blend, revolt 104, bent 100, prodigy 2.0., playmaker 91, Chronic 94 or 100 and arw or arv 94. Does any of those skis offering some good playfulness and lightweight? BTW. Im around 193 cm 115kg

Thanks a lot for helping me chose new skis!

Most of the skis you mentioned besides the blend are pretty stiff. I think the surface royale could be a good option for you. Same underfoot as the wet and also super soft and playful.

I would love bdogs, but they are only 180cm so for my 193cm I think they will be too short. :(

I’m mostly thinking between the blends or prodigy 2.0. I heard that the blends are terrible quality so that backing me from the purchase little bit. Are the prodigy’s too stiff too?

Chronics are also pretty playful my homie has them and he can butter with them easily. But they are made by line so durability will be a issue I would suggest deburring your edges frequently if you get them.

He has the 101 but I’m guessing that 94 will be the same flex
