Kung fujas

sorry everyone wrong forum if someone could move it for me that would be greatly appreciated

I worked at a shop, and had the opportunity to take these skis out quite a few times. In all honesty, they were my absolute favorite ski of the season.

Im 5'11' weigh 145 pounds how would these skis work for me and what size should i look into?
Well, you're profile says you're an East Coaster. I'm not sure if you take any trips out west. So I'm guessing you're you're not going to be riding a ton of deep pow days, and more typically hard pack and chop. I'm 6' 175, and rode the 179 most of the season. But we got a lot more snow than east coast. And you're kind of a light dude, I really think you could get away with the 169's.

How does this handle in soft snow, groomers, deep snow, crud, variable snow etc ( i wont be using this for park i already own a pair of park skis)
I really thought that the Fujas was the most versatile ski I rode all season. The softer, rockered tips were awesome for getting over top of the crud and chop, and soft enough to soak up the bumps. They're plenty wide enough to get up and float. I never took a pair out on a super deep day (I had a whole shop of skis to choose from, on deep days I took out true pow skis). But on 10" and under days, it was my go-to ski.

The Fujas' tail were fairly stiff (compared to something like the Obsethed). This was my favorite part of the ski. I absolutely felt I could charge everything! They were very solid on landings off drops, cliffs, or even jumps.

The stiff tails are also a lot of fun on groomers. Despite being a wide ski, they get edge to edge pretty well. There's enough sidecut that carving is a lot of fun on these. Despite the rockered tips, they hold an edge really well. You can attribute this to the tails as well.

One word of advice though, you HAVE to be a front seat skier on these skis. You have to be on your toes and keep that pressure on your shins. If you're a typical back seat park skier, you really are going to hate these skis.

What are the differences in the 10/11 model and 11/12 model (the two ones i am looking into the most)
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but '11 skis and the '12 skis are almost identical. The dimensions are exactly the same, turning radius is the same, and they're sticking with the All-terrain Rocker. Pretty much, graphics are all that really changed.

How soft/stiff is this ski
It depends on what you're comparing it to, but I'd say this is a pretty middle of the road ski. The tips are rockered a good amount, but they're not nearly as floppy as the Obsethed. I'm not sure what skis you've ridden before, but I'm sure you've seen someone riding a pow ski with rocker, and the tips were bouncing around. I never saw or felt this with the Fujas. The tails are definitely stiff. I'm not talking about race ski stiff (they do have some rocker in them yet) but they are stiff compared to a full out pow ski.

Hope that helps.

helped so much!

The 08 versions suck so just dnt get those

False. The 08/09 non-rockered 189 are the longest park skis ever made, past present or future. I love mine.

That was a very thorough reply, so dont need to go into any detail

... but i have the 10/11's and had so much fun on them this season.

what do you have them mounted with?

what were they, like 193? i think the ostness dragon was 193..just sayin..

Griffon Schizo's.

In all honesty i disliked this ski! especially on groomers. It was floppy and lacked alot of energy when trying to rail turns. I didn't get the chance to try pow so i can't give you help there.

I am using last years Kung Fujas mounted with Griffion Schizos for park and they aren't to bad, they are pretty buttery, and i ski on 169's and im 5.11 and 155 pounds. I mostly skied them in the park and they hold up pretty well on the kikers, and they are fine on the jibs as well. I skied them during a couple of epic POW days in Utah and at Squaw and they were ok, they don't float as much as one might like but they still allowed me to slay all day. I like them though because they are pretty solid when it comes to dropping cliffs, because of the rocker and they aren't super fukin skiing like most park/allmountain skis. So they are all in all not bad skis, i have thrashed them for that last year or so and they have held up pretty good.

Whats a 'park' ski?

195 at least.

thanks everyone for the awesome replies and i am soon going to have a chance to demo some aramda skis and i was wondering if anyone could tell me which ski out of the armada line is most comparable to to kung fujas

anyone? sorry im bumping this but i need to know pretty soon

i think the armada ANT is comparable to the fujas, at least dimension wise, a little bit wider under a foot. Or th ARV thats a little skinnier under foot so i would say the ANT is most comparable to fujas

Except that the KF has tip and tail rocker and neither of those Armadas do.  And I can't say anything about the ARV, but the ANT is not a park ski.  It's big and burly and stiff, and the KF is not. 

If I was going to compare the Kung Fujas with something from Armada, I would look at the TST.

^ thanks, especially from last two entries ill be sure to check out the ANT and TST

Yeah sorry i was looking at last years models.The TST looks sick, very similar to fujas i think. Probably a better choice than the ANT
