True enough.

Except that nothing surfs the powder like two snowboards. With reverse sidecut and negative camber. Mounted singly, e.g., with 916s.

Booyah!

Why mount 'em? Just get some four-buckle neoprene booties and grip wax.

Not quite the right frame grab from the movie, but this illicits a similar feeling as seeing those skis I believe.

The might be stiffer then the spats, but the shape will make them float regardless, so the stiffness is definately welcomed warrented.

The Pontoon vs. Lotus shootout should happen within the next week or two at the very latest. Glisseur shows up at Baker tomorrow and his skis should be here shortly after that... and my Pontoons are just waiting for Marshal's binders (the check went out today).
