Need help picking a ski for next season light and buttery

[andrewt69]

I am 5’11 150 and want a light but buttery ski. I was look at honey badgers or even b dogs but both seem to have some things i don’t like about then (too heavy or durability). please tell me what u think i should go for. If your still looking at this i have narrowed expanded to b dogs, honey badgers, wets and surface royals maybe faction prodigy 1.0. Please help me out.

The honeybadgers have great durability. Besides the topsheet chipping the durability is really good.

I'd go with 183 wets

or head supershapes, almost identical ski IMO

Vishnu wets would be like the perfect skis for you tho.

I've had my honey badgers for 2 seasons and I beat the fuck out of them, still good

bdogs or vishnus are great skis.

also look at jskis and icelantic nomads

 

[andrewt69]

do any of you know where i could get some wets? they seem like the ski for me. it’s between wets, honey b, b-dogs and magnus 102. please help me decide

A low swing weight is a priority also.

Rmu skis are crazy light

Wets will probably be on sale in the next couple of months

Magnus 102s are really great skis but they might not be what you are looking for. They are pretty heavy and are somewhat stiffer than most of the other skis listed.

SURFACE ROYALE!!! just about, if not more buttery than Vishnu's, but somehow feel stable on jumps. One of the lightest skis I've ever ridden. Also I rode them for 4 weeks and no damage.

 

[andrewt69]

i’ll check them out!!

 

[andrewt69]

do you know the weights of either ski? i like the price of those surfaces for sure

honestly I don't know the weight, but im only 115 lbs with not a lot of leg muscle and can whip tricks (3swaps, front 4's, fives on tiny jumps, etc.) around really easily.
