I've taken some pretty annoyingly large chunks out of my top sheet between backyard rails, boarders in lift lines, and flat out stupidity. Especially with my TW pros, they peel like mf string cheese. Anyone have any quick cheap fixes for this type of damage? Ya you could take it to the shop but there's gotta be some sort of epoxy or something to fix this on your own. If anyone's got any tips drop em here, help the community out. thanks.
 
I just cut out the remaining loose top sheet with a razor and epoxy it back in

mind you I don't know what im doing in the slightest
 
yeah LINEs topsheets are complete garbage

this is all from me skiing with my feet too close together and crashing and going up the lift with snowboarders. ive only used these skis for 2 days and they look beat to shit. LINE please help.
 
OP I usually just cut off strands and then sand them down a little so they won’t continue to grow. Worked real well on my old lines and armadas.

just beware of faulty mounts ?
 
Yeah I had blends for a year and the topsheet on those is like warm butter. I could literally take out chunks on the chairlift by tapping an edge on the topsheet.

It's not a bad ski, honestly pretty fun once you get used to. Got mag 90s this year thought because I want more pop/power/precision out of my park skis. The 100ish waistwidth on the blends is manageable even on ice but it gets chattery at high speeds. It's pretty easy to butter, so I'd give it that.

Depends on what you want from your skis and what kind of skiing you really lean towards.

Ya I'm definitely looking for a playful soft ski but durability is the biggest turn off for me. If it's anything like the top sheet on the TW pros I want nothing to do with them

Probably is—never had the tw pros. Try vishnu wides cause those r gangsta asf. Similar to the blend but more jibby and park-oriented, and they're made for street so they're probably indestructible.

Magnuses are not soft, but they are playful. Also a bit expensive. Also supposedly bombproof.

Maybe look into Armada's Bdog pro model. Don't know much about durability on armada skis but I've heard a lot of good things about their pro line.

I think all of us were here someday thinking our first park skis were “beat to shit” after using those heavy ass rental esc skis as kids which do not chip at all

like someone already suggested vishnu wides might do you right.

From my own research that I did before I bought my most recent pair of skis (I ended up going with volkl revolt 104s cuz I wanted a medium waist all mountain ski that I could take into the park), other suggestions that are loosely similar to line blends would be Jskis-vacation, aramda edollos, k2 reckoner. give those a look and see what u think.

yea I have honey badgers too and believe me when i had some nice chunks after my first day riding I was astonished the top sheet were so soft. Hard habit to break but I dont click my skis together on the lift anymore and the chunking happens way less often, obviously.
 
Clean up the "wound" by filing off any dangly fiberglass/wood then just put some silicone sealant on the spot to keep water from gettin in. Bonus: A little tiny part of your topsheet will feel like rubber
