Is the Line Prophet the same ski as the Karhu Team Edition?

[telestar6]

I know that Line and Karhu share the same factory and basically produce the same skis. Since these two skis have the same dimensions and everything I was wondering if they also have the exact same construction. Bcecause if they do I'm getting the Karhus tomorrow. I'm soo fucking stoked.

 

[R.Fahey]

I think they're way similar, if not the same. Sometimes whenever you see The Karhus for sale, they say (Motherships) in parenthesees. i've never seen Prophet ones though.

 

[berryhill]

not only do they chare the same factory, there owned by the same company, i know that last year the karhu park ski and i think the chronic were almost identical

 

[twintipteles]

yeah, line and karhu are both owned by trak sports, but i don't know about the jak team vs. the prophet

 

[twintipteles]

all i can really say is get bombers

 

[billybomba]

get the PFDs! even though the initials stand for something incredibly stupid.

 

[k2yeags]

i'd go with K2's

 

[Tha_Grouch]

why not just get the prophet?

 

[bdskier]

^ the karhu version is cheaper, same deal with the hippy stix, i don't know why people pay more for the seth pistol.

 

[Kev]

the line elizabeth is the karhu PFD.

i know that, im not sure what the team edition is, it's either the mo ship, or probably the prophet 100 or something like that.

 

[Tha_Grouch]

no shit? is the hippy stinx a seth pistol??? I thought that was a telemark ski.

But anyways... i'd still pay more for the line...I've skied them, I like the name, and they look sick. I just don't have $800 to spend.

 

[wskibum176]

Karhu's are sweet

 

[altarip55]

The only diffence between karhu and line is how they are marketed. That's it. The team is the Prophet 100.

 

[quebecfreestyler]

u thnk they are not as good when it comes to durability

telemarker arent supposed to jump of icy jumps and land on rails, well companies believe so i guess

 

[skifiend]

It is a telemark ski. It's the same dimensions as the SP but has a different flex pattern that is more telemark-friendly.

 

[johanblaze]

that's what i was going to say. it has a different flex.

 

[Powderwhore]

I think it also has an extra plate under the toes for mounting teli binders.

 

[hollygrove]

I like the karhu's more personnanly, but the mother ship are surpossed to beexactly the same as the...Jak? i think..

 

[Vicious]

Although the dimensions of the Karhu's are identical to the Line's, the Karhu's are made specifically for tele, so the flex patterns are generally going to be softer on the Karhu's.
