i am well aware that the ar6 is wider than the ar5, but guess what? it's still narrower than the foil. and so what if it has a foam core???? i hate when people assume that a ski has a foam core that it will be weak and flex out under loads. i weigh 170 pounds and i've hit some big fucking jumps on my foils, and they've never flexed out on me. look at my pictures if you don't believe me. i'm not saying the ar6 isn't a great ski, because it is... i just feel like you are unjustly accusing the foil of being weak, when is clearly is not.
