All-around models used by general slope skiers generally choose skis that are shorter than their own height.
For example, if a man is 170cm tall, it should be 5cm to 10cm shorter than his height. This is to make it easier to turn when skiing on the slopes. On the other hand, freeride models are relatively long. For the backcountry, add length to gain buoyancy for powder skiing. It was customary to choose a long board, but "SHORT PANTS PARADOX" appeared as if to overturn the fixed concept.
SHORT PANTS PARADOX
The nose rocker is kept low to ward off the resistance from the snow surface, and the tail rocker starting point is slightly closer to the center, improving operability. There are two camber peaks on the nose and tail. In addition, the center position is greatly set back, and the directional shape has a structure that generates buoyancy of powder.
The tail is equipped with Smirtech. The 3D beveled base, Smirtec, creates a unique feel in all snow conditions and floats effortlessly on the snow in any direction. This function is combined with the tail rocker for excellent flexibility. You can also enjoy surf-like play.
In addition, even though the waist is over 110mm, one of the features is that it has high turn performance in grooming due to the balance of slightly tight flex and camber.
It is recommended for users who already have fat skis but want a ski with a different feel, or who want to enjoy a surf-like ride with a tail that moves freely.
