LINE Sakana Alpine

Award-winning and head-turning, the LINE Sakana is a versatile all-mountain ski like no other. Utilizing a unique swallowtail shape and camber through the majority of the ski, the Sakana can rail turns on hard snow, while an early rise tip, back-mounted stance, and wide shovel allow the skis to surf through deeper snow. A ski that floats on fresh and carves better than your Dad on Thanksgiving dinner, experience the game-changing Sakana.Specifications:- Size: 174 - Shape: 150-105-138- Weight (g/ski): 1770- Sidecut Radius Avg (m): 15- Stance Back from Center (mm): -80.5- Profile (tip-waist-tail) mm: 10-4-0- Waist Width: 100 - 109mm- Flex Pattern: Directional- Wood Core Material: Aspen Paulownia- Base & Dimensions: Sintered 1.3 mm- Geometry: 5-Cut- Ski Construction: Sidewall- Edge Dimensions (mm): 2.1 x 2Technology:5cut™ Multi-radius Sidecut:- FIVE different radiuses are blended into the ski's sidecut. The result? A wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel.Swallowtail:- A dramatic tail knockout de-couples the farthest reaches of the effective edge while simultaneously forcing the tail of the ski down in soft snow. The result is a ski that can be ridden at shorter lengths without sacrificing performance. An eye-catcher for sure in the liftline but it´s not just eye-candy, Eric Pollard pushed for this design after experiencing its advantages in surfing and snowboard designs. The swallowtail design is as important as what it is as what it´s not! The absence of material in the tail drastically reduces weight while the shape maintains a long effective edge for arching turns and staying in control. In powder, the tail drops you back in the snow lifting your tips for ample flotation while maintaining a neutral skiing stance so you´re not in the backseat trying to stay afloat. For those concerned about durability have no fear, the tail is reinforced with titanal so stay in once piece.Carbon Flax Tape:- Carbon Stringers offset by Flax Taping create added stiffness without the pingy, deflective properties of Carbon.Sidewall Construction:- Ultra-High Density Polyethylene vertical walls over the edges absorb vibrations and provide powerful energy transmission.Early Rise:- The tip and tail lift away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the center of the ski. This increases a ski´s lift in deep snow and allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack when rolled over on edge. Directional Flex:- The softer tip floats & initiates turns easily while the stiffer tail provides power, stability & high speed control.
