The Honey Badger is the go-to ski for park, freestyle & jibbing all over the mountain. Handrails, bonks, hard landings, it doesn’t care. It can take it all & it won’t break your bank in the process. If you’re after a super-playful, jibby ski that is lightweight for quick movements & style in your tricks, then Honey Badger is going to be the one. An Aspen Veneer Core uses aspen stringers to create a lightweight, snappy & engaged feel. This works perfectly with the Carbon Ollieb&, pre-stretched carbon stringers running down the ski centre for added pop & play. The flex is soft, making it ideal for butters & presses, but thanks to the quality build & decent camber underfoot it still feels good on jumps. To ensure it feels as good switch as it does skiing forward, Line use a symmetric flex, giving it the same feel in front & behind & the binding. The 5 Cut Multi Radius Sidecut blends 5 different radii so that the ski is comfortable in a variety of turns & keeps an intuitive feel. Any ski that is aimed at jibbing & playing-about needs to be tough, & just because the Honey Badger is light doesn’t mean that Line have skimped on the durability. In fact the opposite is true. 4D Fibrecap construction uses 4 directions of fibreglass, woven across the top of the core for added durability, & a cap construction for toughness. The Fatty Base & edge employ a 30% thicker base & edges, giving a 1.7mm thick base & 2mm wide edges that are 2.5mm high, meaning better resistance to potential damage & a longer tuning life. essential for this kind of ski. This is a ski that will perfectly suit park or urban skiers, meaning it is ideal for dome & dryslope regulars wanting a light, tough & fun ski, for jibs, jumps & rails, more so than many freestyle skis that are bigger & heavier. It won’t suit an all mountain skier as it doesn’t have the grip on hard snow or the width for powder seekers, but it will make the right choice for skiers looking for something park specific with light handling & a poppy feel. Terrain Type & Ability Level Terrain Type Skier Type Overview Shape Rocker Core Construction Key Featurese B tester’s comments: Mark (Trainer) A great park ski that won’t bust the bank.

experience the ski that everyone is talking about. The Ski Of The Year from Powder Magazine proved the ski world is hungry for new shapes & product inspiration. The Line Sakana is a versatile all-mountain ski like no other on the market. With a 105mm waist & signature swallowtail design, the Sakana offers unmatched carving abilities paired with deep snow float. This is the best ski for all mountain carving, slashing & just generally having a great time. Grab yourself a pair of Sakana’s & start drawing your own lines down the mountain. Terrain Type & Ability Level Terrain Type It’s a new take on an all mountain ski, as happy ripping out tight carves on groomed pistes as it is slashing turns on deep powder or popping off natural features. It’s certainly different & it’s definitely fun. Skier Type All mountain skiers who want a fun, playful ski that also has bags of performance for turning & burning. Maybe your park skis just don’t have the zip you require or the ability to keep up with your buddies on piste, or maybe your traditional all mountain skis don’t have the fun factor & pop of your favourite twins. The Sakana covers this, so if you want one ski to do everything, even powder laps, & you want to do it with blend of park pop & piste turning then look no further. Overview Shape The shape is certainly a head turner, with the deep sidecut & the swallowtail. 105mm might sound wide in the waist but with the 15m (174cm) radius, & the clever shape & construction, the Sakana remains playful at all times. A 5 Cut Multi Radius Sidecut blends 5 different radii so that the ski is comfortable in a variety of turns & keeps an intuitive feel. early Taper at the tip means the widest point of the sidecut begins tapering earlier which reduces hook-ups in powder. Rockerearly Rise at the tip means it lifts away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the centre of the ski. This increases the ski's lift in deep snow & allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack when rolled over on edge. Core Line’s Partly Cloudy core uses stringers of paulownia & maple. The paulownia is a lively, flexible wood with excellent weight to strength ratio; the maple is a dense, hardwood with excellent power transfer & stability. This combination helps keep the weight down without sacrificing performance. Carbon Stringers add pop but are offset by Flax Taping with the result that stiffness is added without the pingy, deflective properties of carbon. Construction Sidewall Construction uses an ultra-high density polyethylene over the edges to absorb vibrations & provide powerful energy transmission. Key Features Swallowtail The most striking element of the design is the swallowtail. This is a dramatic tail knockout that de-couples the farthest reaches of the effective edge while simultaneously forcing the tail of the ski down in soft snow. The result is a ski that can be ridden at shorter lengths without sacrificing performance. An eye-catcher for sure in the lift line but it's not just eye-candy, designer & skier eric Pollard pushed for this feature after experiencing its advantages in surfing & snowboard designs. The swallowtail is as important as what it is, as what it's not! The absence of material in the tail drastically reduces weight while the shape maintains a long effective edge for arching turns & staying in control. In powder, the tail drops you back in the snow lifting your tips for ample flotation while maintaining a neutral skiing stance so you're not in the backseat trying to stay afloat. For those concerned about durability have no fear, the tail is reinforced with titanal so stay in once piece. Directional Flex The softer tip floats & initiates turns easily while the stiffer tail provides power, stability & high speed control.e B tester’s comments: Luke (Buying Team) I was luckily enough to use these on a powder day, dipping off the piste for some fresh turns & back on lower down. They floated with ease, never felt like you had to work to keep the tips up. You could really feel the tail spit you out of turns with tonnes of energy & life. Probably the most fun I had during the whole week.

The Line Sir Francis Bacon skis have long been the definitive all mountain freestyle pow ski, from packed snow in tight trees to fresh snow jump sessions. At 104mm underfoot & built around a lightweight Partly Cloudy™ core, the Bacon offers a stable yet playful feel no matter what the snow condition. A constant favourite with staff & customers. ...

Line’s most popular ski, the Sir Francis Bacon has been completely redesigned for this season. Featuring a 107mm waist width paired with 3D Convex Tech tip & tail technology, the Sir Francis Bacon floats & butters through powder without sacrificing performance on groomers & blown out chop. eric Pollard has produced the best ski for all-terrain freedom. Slash through wind lips, butter over rollers, & experience the playfulness the all-new LINe Sir Francis Bacon has to offer. Developed by eric Pollard, convex contouring across the tip & tail of the ski loosen the ski feel by increasing powder snow displacement – & creating a tip & tail more inclined to plane – for an added dimension of turn shape. Working with this is early Rise, which produces just the right amount of lift in the tip & tail for smooth handling without affecting the grip or making it flappy. early Taper at the tip & tail positions the skis widest points perfectly so that there is no hooking or dragging from snow, but still leaving a long effective edge. A symmetric flex makes sure the ski feels good however it’s used, switch, regular, park or powder. The result is an intuitive ski that remains balanced whatever the conditions & ready for any terrain. As you’d expect with a ski that uses cutting-edge design, the construction doesn’t cut corners. Partly Cloudy Core uses a blend of lightweight paulownia & maple, creating the best strength to weight ratio in all the Line core options. Sidewall Construction uses an ultra-high density polyethylene over the edges to absorb vibrations & provide powerful energy transmission. To keep it durable, the Fatty Base & edge employ a 30% thicker base & edges, giving a 1.7mm thick base & 2mm wide edges that are 2.5mm high, meaning better resistance to potential damage & a longer tuning life. This is a fun ski, built to treat everything with a jibby style. It’s firm enough to lay down carves & pop from turn to turn, with the smoothness for powder & deep days. It’s also surprisingly good in the park for a 107mm width, thanks in part to the light weight & the Convex Tech tip. This new version is wider, more playful & sure to keep the popularity of Sir Francis Bacon going for a few more seasons yet, so if you ski everything & just see the mountain as 1 big playground then this is the ski you need!.
