I recently got a pair of 189 wets, im 6,0 and 135lbs and i can barely flex them, is this because in a walking skeleton or are they just stiffer than people make them out to be? thanks

Not to body shame. You are a tad on the light side.


That being said I'm fat and almost double your weight and 2 inch taller. I could probably flex a 2x4

Oh shit. Yeah. You'll definitely fill out. Do it smart and keep your flexibility! I guess right now when you butter suck your legs up abit when you lean into it

They’re soft just gotta get used to throwing your weight around. Or just be fat

You'll find it difficult to find anything softer. You probably wouldn't want anything softer anyway. You'll get them to bend just keep at it, my guess is you just gotta get comfortable leaning into them a little more.

your boots might be the problem, if they don't fit right you won't be able to transfer your weight into your skis

good looks, I had this issue with my last boots. Downsizing and getting a proper fit made a world of difference.

Yea honestly I'm sorry that was uncalled for. I basically never get drunk and that joke sounded funnier in my head.

Have you tried hand flexing them? Usually that will give a pretty good reference. I'd like to see how they compare to other similar skis

Don’t make the mistake and “expect” like I did. Get in the weight room, it’s one of the best choices to make. I went from 6’ and 150ish pounds in my freshman year of college to 185lbs in this last spring. I slacked off on my routine sadly and now I’m back to 170-175lb range.
