Vishnu alternatives

With the uncertainty around weather or not Vishnu will be around next season, I am asking if anyone has any good noodle recommendations to make lapping a small park/rope tow hill. Preferably something light and very flexible and also decent durabilit. Basically just looking for vishnu wets that aren't vishnus.

Thanks!

Tariffs are making it harder for them to keep the company afloat.

This or grab some Revolt 96s/104s or K2 Poachers that are on sale right now. Everything 2026 is going to be more expensive.

I just got some armada kimbo’s and they are so much fun i only got to ski them one day, but they were perfect for ripping the park in slush and so fun for butters

Nomad 94s are heavily rockered and very light like vishnus, stiffer but still pretty easy to put a bend into. They are the quickest park ski I’ve been on

line blends are also very light and super noodly. My pair have held up very well but they don’t have the best reputation for durability.
