Replying to Vishnu Wides or Wets?
for starters, my only use for these skis will be park. Right now im using k2 poachers which come in at 2071grams. I’d like to say im comfortable with something around that weight, the wides come in at 1944grams. The wets come in at around 1600grams, which is pretty fkin light, similar to the bent 95s i’ve skied before coming in at 1550grams.
I can easily say I much prefer hitting rails with a heavier ski, it just doesnt feel as good with a lighter ski and I feel way more control with something heavier.
I would much prefer flips with a lighter ski, but I’m pretty much as comfortable with something heavier, just feels easier with something lighter. I can cork as easy as I can on Poachers (2000grams) than i can on the bent95s (1500grams).
One of my other main concerns was swapping and spinning on/off rails. I can swap easily with my poachers that have a 96mm underfoot, but im scared the 106mm underfoot that the wides come with are gonna make swapping harder. But the wets are also tiny at an 86mm underfoot, seems to small to me.
So which should I pick.
