I have a pair of 183 wets at 5'10 and 145. I want to try the vishnu tank but would that force me to get a third pair of skis. I would want a playful and light ski when I'm just on piste and not sure if the tank is quite that. It would also leave me with 88 underfoot and 110 underfoot so a pretty big gap. I was looking at the sakana but the durability on my lines in the past have been terrible and I am not very fond of the topsheet

from vishnu - "This ski was a group effort born of the team’s necessity to go big and fast comfortably with no speed limit. It is the first “non-park” vishnu but was designed with versatility in mind."

Here is a link to a thread all about it: https://www.newschoolers.com/forum/thread/937217/Vishnu-Tank

If you want light and playful ski for on piste the wets turn great honestly. tanks are really more of a wet powder/all mountain ski than an on piste ski.

oh i read that wrong, if you want to stick with vishnu did you look at the wides or keys. they have the plus versions also which add some stiffness if you want
