    That's not just "fat", that's "morbidly obese"

    187cm

    That's 1.5 inches away from being a monoski. Bigger than a Moment Communist or a Fat-ypus. If you need the biggest sticks on the planet, I guess these are it.

    Capital G-Funkenstien 155-162-132 http://www.capitalskis.com/shapes.asp

    But those are reverse-sidecut with tip and tail rocker, so i guess these would be the biggest ski without those. monsters. Might as well just ski down on a splitboard, with them actually split. Or get some monoskis for each foot.

    Now that i think about it, has anyone ever actually skied the G-Funk?

    There's also the Duret Monstre Fat Series. 170 Waist! That's 1 cm narrower than my snowboards. Curiously, Duret made the first snowboard I ever rode, back in 1986.

    So what's the difference between the ORGE and the OGRE?

    I think it's kind of important to spell your product's name correctly on your website, but hey that's just me. Yes, I am anal about stuff like that.

    Their testimonials also date back to 1994.

    Admittedly, their purpose is supposedly to support their claim to a patent on the shaped ski, but at a certain point, you need to move on.

    Well, I'd never buy from a company that has a website that looks as if it was made in 1995. If the website is shit, I can only imagine their skis.

    Seems like another tale of ski builders with no other idea for a ski than making it fucking huge. Yawn.

    Pay for yet another pair of twintip jib sticks to be built in someone else's factory, slap some graffiti on the topsheets, make a shitty Flash website with plenty of bro-brah, and you're a "core brand".

    Be the first people to make mid-fats way back in the early 1990s, build them yourself with your own equipment, never put any graphics on them, and never pretend to be anything but an older guy who likes skiing and had a couple good ideas, and you're a dork.

    Marketing is fascinating!

    Not saying the guy's a dork, but the website is horrendous...you can't deny that.
