Faction 1.0 VS Line Blend

[yung_deroode]

Looking for some help on making my decision for the next year ski. I have two options right now in my mind. The 2016 Candide 1.0's or the 2016 Blends. Im coming from a B-Dog ski from this year so a pretty playful ski. Can't really decide on the ski for next year though. I know the Candide's will be a lot stiffer than the Blends however they will be pretty solid. Comment your opinions! Thanks

the 1.0 is 90 underfoot to the blends 100. the blend is really really soft and coming off the bdog you may like that. if you are looking for something you can use all mountain the faction ski is a better option IMO.

Ya the blends sound very soft from what I've heard. Just not quite sure yet. Both seem like a good choice but I'm leaning towards the factions a little because i know how much they will be able to go through. Ive heard they are a very durable ski and thats what i mainly need. The b-dogs are great but they chip on the top paint layer and sidewall pretty bad. Thanks for the opinion man, appreciate

Get the Faction 2.0s. 102mm underfoot so they'll be similar to the Blends and way better construction than the Blends. All around ripper and perfect for the park!

not tryna claim but I have next years blends and they are fun as fuck, barely any swing weight but they are pretty heavy. I did go from the atomic punx tho lol.
