the dimensions are super fat, elizibeth style, possibly fatter. i thought i read about a 125 waist. it only comes in a 175 im pretty sure. not sure about flex or anything like that.

no idea, but the leather probably makes it insanely expensive. think about how much a wallet costs.

ye, its prolly some synthetic leather so it isnt mad expensive and so it wont rip as easily too. That ski looks so sick thoughj

i forget exactly how ski layups work, but the edge teeth definitely are attached to the core or base, not the topsheet, so that wouldn't be a problem.

i remember seeing these in the volkl catalogue. they're prolly gonna cost a ton. i wanna know what they're for though. at first i figured they'd be for pow but that seems like a lot of sidecut for a pow stick. we may never know.
on a different note, look at that pic at the top. those skis are supposed to only come in a 175 (i think) and they are way over that guy's head. he's one short dude.

i think these would have a lot of unnecessary weight. water on the topsheet prolly wouldn't be a big deal as long as the leather is well oiled. like i have leather boots that are unbelievably waterproof b/c i keep them oiled.

Burton has three different special models of the Dominant, which has a leather topsheet, and they work fine with the snow on top.

What about the price......doesn't anyone know?

The MSRP on the Sanouk is $1000 and the Sumo is a bigger and more pimp ski. I can only imagine what it would cost...

The prophets have many competitors this season actualy, id say atleast 10 skis are going 120+waist(probably 20 if you go through all the no namers). The trend will stop soon though.
