LINE has brought style and street culture to skiing, and has had a huge influence on the park and street scenes for a long time.
Among its lineup, BLEND in particular continues to captivate fans at the forefront of street and park skiing around the world.
We bring you the latest information on the ever-evolving BLEND.
"BLEND Will Wesson" model available for pre-sale!
Will Wesson has been a LINE icon for over 18 years, thrilling the park and street scenes.
His creative style and high-level riding technique have exploded in BLEND, inspiring countless freeskiers and encouraging them to imagine new possibilities in skiing. His new signature model is now available for pre-order.
The new LINE Blend Will Wesson retains the DNA of its predecessor, but has been improved to suit its purpose.
The waist width is now 98mm, placing more emphasis on freestyle. Its biggest feature is that it is the most responsive, sharpest, supple and durable ski to date.
Will commented,
"There are a lot of innovations that have gone into these skis, and they make a big difference. First of all, durability was a big challenge. I wanted to make them as strong as possible, especially considering that I'll be riding tough on rails. I don't treat my skis too gently."
The new BLEND features a completely different underfoot sidewall construction, using a new ABS/TPU blend to create thicker, vertical sidewalls for increased impact resistance.
Generally, skis that are good for butter tricks tend to be wide and a bit heavy, but the new BLEND is designed to be as narrow as possible while still maintaining the necessary performance. By keeping the waist width to 98mm, agility and maneuverability in the park are significantly improved
And by tapering off sharply from the binding area, we've succeeded in reducing the overall weight of the ski.
The tip and tail shapes are also smoother, making it easier to butter tricks and transition between switches and subsequent movements.
That said, the ski still feels great when carving. We've further fine-tuned the flex to provide more responsive, agile skiing in
nollies and ollies. A ski that's great for pressing is one that bends well yet still gives you feedback. When you push down with the ball of your foot, the ski responds, maximizing the propulsion of your ollies and nollies.
For me, the most important thing is being creative and having fun with my friends. The BLEND is the best ski for that. That's why it's been my favorite ski for over 10 years.
The new "LINE Blend Will Wesson" is attracting a lot of attention as a flexible freestyle jib stick that features the reinforcement required for tough street use and allows for natural press and butter tricks
Taylor's signature model "TBL BLEND" is here!
For the 2025-2026 season, BLEND will be releasing the signature "TBL BLEND" board by Taylor Brooke Lundquist, a LINE international rider who is dominating the global freestyle competition scene
The BLEND has a softer flex overall, but the TBL has an even softer flex to make it easier to perform butter tricks. The thin tip technology used in the CHRONIC thins the tip and tail, making the swing weight significantly lighter and making it very easy to ride.
The graphics are full of American country vibes, and look amazing on the snow. Taylor's dog is also depicted in the center as one of the motifs.
Shiori Takahashi of the LINE JAPAN team, who will be riding this "TBL BLEND" in the 2025-2026 season, is one of the most dynamic riders today, having become the first Japanese to win the "SuperUnknown" street skiing video contest hosted by the USA freeski film maker LEVEL1 in the 2024-25 season.
Shiori Takahashi, who has always admired Taylor, told us about the TBL as follows:
Ryo Negishi's impressions of "BLEND"
For the 2025-2026 season, the BLEND series will be developed with three graphics: "LINE Blend Will Wesson," "TBL BLEND," and "BLEND." LINE JAPAN team rider Ryo Negishi commented as follows:
"This BLEND is great for all-around fun, whether you're doing powder, park, freestyle, or just playing around on the terrain. It's incredibly soft on both the tip and tail, making it perfect for butter tricks
The mold for the feet has changed for next season. The feet are now thicker, giving a firmer ride. The waist width has also increased from 100mm to 98mm, so I think it will be easier to make quick movements
Enjoy butter tricks and terrain with the new "BLEND" in the 2025-2026 season!
At a dealer test drive event held in Niseko Moiwa, Hokkaido in early January 2025, marketing representative Shuichi Ichihashi explained the highlights of BLEND for the 2025-2026 season
