Just wondering about the likelihood of getting these warrantied or replaced, I know I'm probably up shit creek with this one. So I've had these for 2 seasons now (one Southern, one Northern) with probably 30 days on them total. The day this happened I was trying knuckle fronties off a pretty small hit and landed backseat. I'm a big guy so I know skis aren't really designed for that sort of impact just looking to see if I can do anything other than buying a new set.

jesus, at least u don't have to worry about switch skiing with the amount of rocker it has lol.

but seriously, there's no way u'll get warranty on that. warranty is only for manufacturing defects where's it Line's fault. if u email them, they might give u a discount for a second pair.

u've also had 30 days on it, which pretty much means there's no warranty as u've used them for a bit.

if u bought it from a shop, tell them and ask them to email the Line rep and maybe, if you're super lucky they could sort something out. i got a new pair, after I brought it in due to the edge delaminating after 3 days

When you are rad and set your bindings really tight "S" happens! Can happen to any brand or construction.

Thanks for the info! Got in contact with our importer over here in Japan and they can't do anything about it because I brought them over with me. I'll shoot Line UK a message.

Thanks. Most folks seem to hate it when I do all the repeating.

Maybe a pure carbon fiber ski would not snap as easy if at all, but why get such an expensive ski to hit rails! Even those have a wood core.
