Anyone have experience with the Vishnu Wet+? I'm currently looking for a fairly rockered, lightweight ski that's flexible but not a straight up noodle and the Wet+ looks perfect. Currently riding Armada ARV 96's so I'm curious what the flex is like on the Wet+ vs. the ARVs.

Other skis I'm looking at (but can't find anywhere to buy atm) are Moment Frankenskis and Icelantic Nomads. Willing to take other suggestions as well!
 
Fullsend outdoors in Rochester carries icelantic and I think moment I don’t know if they have demos they did last year. That’s the closest to Ohio I think

Word I'll take a look. Thanks!
 
I have heard great things about the frankenski, its very durable and its triple camber does well on east coast ice. It also has quite a bit of rocker so it is fairly playful ski. You can check them in action too on cody laplante's insta

Cody is actually on a Vice, something we special produce for him. The stouter core and stiffer backbone of the Vice keeps up with his huge jumps.

As an owner of 96s and wets (normal wets) I can say Vishnu durability is pretty damn great. Skied like 30 days on em and have had one edge crack and the top sheets look like they’re just out of the box. I know a couple people with the pluses and I’ve heard great things about em. Definitely softer than the 96s and with the rocker butters and shit will be pretty easy. I know you detune your skis, but just a reminder to do it with the Vs. If you don’t detune your Vishnu’s, your big toe is gonna have a bad time.

How does the weight compare between Vs and ARVs?

Vs are quite noticeably lighter from what I can tell. My ARVs are 170 and my Vs are 177. I think the Vs are lighter even with the added length. Very agile skis.
