"LINE" has brought style and street culture to skiing, and has had a tremendous 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 worldwide.
Here's the latest information on the further evolved BLEND.
"BLEND Will Wesson" model available for pre-sale!
For over 18 years, Will Wesson has been an icon of LINE, electrifying the park and street skiing scenes.
His creative style and high-level riding skills explode in BLEND, inspiring many freeskiers and making them imagine new possibilities in skiing. Now, Will Wesson's new signature model is available for pre-order.
The new "LINE Blend Will Wesson" inherits the DNA of its predecessor while incorporating improvements tailored to its purpose.
The waist width is now 98mm, placing a greater emphasis on freestyle. Its key features are its increased responsiveness, sharpness, flexibility, and durability—the most responsive and sharpest skis yet.
Will commented:
"There are a lot of improvements to this ski, and that makes a big difference. First of all, durability was a major challenge. I wanted to make it as strong as possible, especially considering how tough it is to ride on rails. I don't treat my skis very carefully."
The new BLEND has a completely different sidewall structure at the base. It uses a new blend of ABS and TPU materials to create a thicker, vertical sidewall with enhanced 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 making the shape narrower abruptly from the binding area, we succeeded in making the overall weight of the ski lighter.
Also, the tip and tail shapes are now smoother curves than before, making it easier to do butter tricks, switch to switch riding, and transition into the next movement.
That being said, the feeling of satisfaction when carving remains.
We've further fine-tuned the flex to give you quicker rebound for nollies and ollies. A ski that's good for pressing flexes well while still giving feedback. When you press down with the ball of your foot, the ski rebounds, maximizing the propulsion for ollies and nollies.
For me, the most important things are being creative and having fun with 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
While the BLEND series generally has a softer flex, the TBL is even softer, making it easier to perform tricks like butter tricks. Furthermore, it incorporates the thin-tip technology used in the CHRONIC, which thins the top and tail, resulting in a significantly lighter swing weight and making it incredibly easy to ride.
The graphics have a distinctly American country feel, making it stand out on the snow. Apparently, Taylor's dog is even depicted as one of the motifs near the center.
In the 2025-2026 season, Shiori Takahashi of the LINE JAPAN team rode the "TBL BLEND," and in the 2024-2025 season, she became the first Japanese person to win the "SuperUnknown" street skiing video contest hosted by USA freeski filmmaker LEVEL1, making her one of the most promising riders right now.
Shiori Takahashi, who has always admired Taylor, told us this about the TBL.
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
