2008 Fischer "Duke?"

**BS720** · 01-16-2007, 11:47 PM

Seriously 207cm?? I down for a pair. I've always wanted a long super-fat. I don't see Fischer making money on this ski, though.

yes, it comes with a fin.

the duke will be in Meribel this weekend.

Any further info on these guys? What's the flex like, I think that is what everyone is wondering, and if not, at least it's what I am wondering...

Looks pretty stiff from the guy trying to flex it. It wasn't jiggling like the new Sally Gun Lab. On a serious note though, Fischer and Marker getting praise on this board??? Wowza

I can't wrap my mind around that tail. If I buy a pair (unlikely) or get a free pair (even more unlikely) I'd probably just chop it off.

I presume 10 or 15cm will be taken up by that kookie looking tail and not the effective edge length. I think skipass had more info on them a while back?

That might be a bit overstated, it didn't look that long. Would like to check out the skipass info.

I heard this ski was pretty limited addition. Only 250 being pressed at 207 length. Good marketing gig, but I can't see fischer being the new Volkl.

I just got off the phone with somebody at Fischer. They couldn't tell me how many of these skis were being made, but they said that wholesale on em was going to be about $650. Not too bad at all actually. That would be the most I've spent on a pair of skis in forever, but for these I think it would be worth it.

They also couldn't tell me if they're going to be proformable, but they said theres a chance.

I am so unbelievably stoked on this ski, I think I'd stab someone in the face for a pair.
