Hi,
I'm looking for a ski that is lighter than the Line Blend and has a little smaller waist with a similar flex pattern.
Any suggestions with personal experiences would help. Thanks!

Get jskis, a little pricy, durable but very light and flexible

Not a big fan of the extruded base, but it would be a option. Thanks

Look at the Icelantic Nomad 95, similar flex pattern and rocker, better durability imo

The Allplay is definitely a playful ski, but will be stiff compared to Blends. Vishnu's are insanely light, probably more along what you're looking for in this case. I totally recommend J's, but again it just depends on your personal scale of desired flex.

I have the vacations, I love them. Great width for pow days, but also perfect for the park(106 mm waist). They are very very flexible, but still very durable. Highly would recommend them
