Jet Skis. I'm seeing these whips on instagram, ridden by guys like ian king and other zoot space esque skiers. How do they ride? graphic is raw and they look poppy/soft. Can someone give me the lo down on these. Interested in these primarily as an urban ski.
 
if you need to ask you need not know

I think they’re sold out for the time being

if you don’t know bro, you probably shouldn’t be even asking about them bro. Can’t you see bro, it’s like anti-marketing bro. Keep the brand mysterious bro and then get a bunch of chill bros to ride them bro, the skis sell themselves bro. fr tho bro, rip vishnu, there is a new edge lord in town. Along with that bro that makes those soldier pants. Don’t cut yourself on those edges bro.
 
Dude they are small and nimble, very fast and easy to ride. You can do all sorts of tricks and they give off great tail spray. It's just basically a bench bolted to a mini jet engine what's not to love? You can even pull a water skier and get some skiing in!

funny thing is twin tips tend to give off tail spray or at least that's what my friend complains about when he's followcam filming me
 
They look sick but don’t look insanely fun lol. P much just a symmetrical Nomad with stiffer flex and less rocker

Nothing more core than exposed core due to them having diecut bases underfoot

pls explain the negatives of a diecut underfoot cause i keep seeing people say it’s bad, but no one really says why. I probably look dumb as fuck asking this question.

Better die-cut than extruded and sublimated. I’ve never had nor seen a problem with die-cut bases.

Damn, I stand corrected... I saw that same shit once on a basic bitch Burton rental stock board. Which undoubtedly had some whack layup.

As for Die-cut, I've had bunches of skis that are die-cut and indestructible; Moment, K2, some older Liness. I guess it comes down to epoxy and material quality.

A Die Cute Base isn't One Solid Base. It's Multiple Pieces. So the multiple Pieces can become separated and create holes and cracks in the physical base of the ski.

I think it mostly has to do with the E being right below the boot. I bet if they changed the base design it wouldn't be a problem anymore.
