Updated.
Do the other five get jelous of the El Capo and Spur?

Travelin' Man, keeping it simple-
Renta car with built in Wailer rack.
I think they all get jealous from time to time. Lately they are all jealous of the Spur. I also think the recent addition of the QLab has rocked the El Capo's quiet confidence...Quote:

185 Amperages with Onyx for touring
183 Benchetlers soft stuff/sidecountry
179 Hybrid Bros any snow anywhere
181 Wrens, EXTRA stiff. for my attempts at charging. apparently built uber stiff, its a lot of ski for my small frame.
Pushing all these with BD MX130's. Very happy.
Curious why you have same skis in both pure and hybrid? Is the difference that substantial and condition dependent? May inform my future ski purchases...Quote:

^^^ I bought the hybrids first and love them.
They kicked two skis out of the quiver, both of which I thought were keepers: Lotus 120 (@120 waist, duh) & Movement Goliath (@108).
The hybrids are stiff and weigh in @~5.25#/ski.
Then I got the opportunity to pick up the pure carbons in a light layup with a soft flex.
The pure carbons weigh in @~4.25#/ski.
I've skied the hybrids ~25 days.
3 days on the carbons; switching back and forth with the hybrids.
The weight difference is quite noticeable, both on the shoulder and underfoot.
Much easier to hike ridgelines with the carbons.
Much faster edge to edge.
Easier to ski steep, tight lines as one can bend the ski into a shorter turning radius much easier than the stiffer hybrid.
More energetic in untracked; porpoise turns and such.
The hybrid is much damper.
Crud crusher.
Super fun in untracked as well, but when the pow is cut-up or conditions mixed, I prefer the hybrid.
The carbons had one mount for my binder pattern at my bsl for a good price.
So I thought, "What the Hell? Why not?"
I thought that it would be fun to try out a known and loved shape in a softer flex.
In the end I think that I will sell my Wailers, mount the hybrids dedicated alpine, with the carbons put inserts into the existing solly holes and drill and insert for plums with a sollyfit toe as a riser.
I really love the 191 Fat; its shape and flex pattern (in both soft and stiff builds) are dialed.
If I had to choose one it would be the hybrid, but I do most of my skiing inbounds.
Here is what I currently am enjoying:
188 BD Megawatts with Jesters
183 Surface Live Life's with Dukes
175 4FRNT Turbos with Look Pivot
168 Scott P3 with Look PX Jib
183 AK Bros with Radical ST

I will probably sell one of them next year, just not sure which one yet.Quote:

Spur is definitely on the list. Not sure it will completely replace the Squad, but given the time I have had on it so far it probably will.Quote:
