Surface makes some extremely soft skis. Also, On3p and Prior allow you to customize your flex however you like so those may be good options as well. Vishnu would be another good company to check out.

I agree. He asked for relatively unknown, soft skis. Surface makes some of the softest skis I've ever seen. But yes, they're ass.

Tbh I haven’t skied either of those but I think the 4/10 rating someone mentioned is pretty spot on. They soften up a lot and are easy to press and play without totally washing out. Still can get some support. You can kind of pick and chose if you want support or soft depending on how you ski it. Mostly support in tail when landing. Profile is more akin to a blend where it has camber that you flex through as opposed to super rockered. But still a decent amount of rocker

Understood but why do you prefer that? That’s pretty unusual for a ski and a bit counterproductive for how the body kinda reacts with the ski in regards to landing, etc.
