idk about the stiff part cause i still wash out sometimes but they're a pretty dope ski. the good flex, weight and pop. top sheets chip alot but it doesnt matter. i dont want to ski anything eles!!!get them and you wont regret it
compared to a soft rail ski, watchlifes, invaders, anthems, are super soft compared to the hhps. they are definitely on the stiff side. they are mad fun though.
