HenrySoBasedI see line hyping the fuck out of their new blends and arguing that the durability is better but they seem to always say that with no evidence to back them up. Still tempted to buy tho
isaacwrongJust looks like same construction are redesigned chronics? Sizing seems odd though? Assuming Will rides 180 and not a custom length?
TwigWill has always ridden 180s, at least when I've skied with him. I have no idea how he does at his height but he does.
Nic_SutterWhat I find odd about the Wesson Pro Blend is that it isn't just the graphic that's different. Like Will's model has different ski dimensions altogether. I guess I didn't realize that. So there is now a "Regular Blend (133-100-122 @ 178cm length)", and there is also a "Will Wesson Pro Blend (129-98-120 @ 180cm length)". This is odd... So the Will Wesson Pro Blend is limited edition, so once they sell out, they're sticking with just the regular Blends going forward? That's lame. I think I'd like Will's version more....

Line_SkisJust to add some quick clarity here. The Blend with Will's signature graphic is the new Blend. What's available right now is a limited quantity of Will's signature graphic on the new Blend.
In the fall, we'll be releasing that same new Blend with a different 2025/2026 graphic. The 'Regular Blend' (133-100-122) will be retiring after this season. We'll only be creating the 'New Blend' (129-98-120) going forward. And yes, quote me here, it really is more durable - we worked damn hard to ensure that is the case. It shares similar improvements that we added to the Chronic and Bacon, as mentioned in this thread, plus some extra reinforcements on top of that.
TOAST.If this was available in something mid 180s or higher I would buy it instantly. Always wanted to try blends, graphic is sick, and will is sick.
Jimmer369I doubt you’re tall enough to need longer than a 180 on a park ski

ScootSkiLyfeHow tall is he?

TwigI'd guess like 185? Enough taller than me that it's hard to judge!
