    What is almost a Goat, but isn't a Goat?

    Hmm. What I really, really want for Xmas is a Gotama 183. However, I am realizing that one is not going to appear magically before me for a great price. (If you have a used one in great shape you want to sell, please let me know ASAP)

    What other skis would be the closest equivalent, almost matching in flex, sidecut, weight,... everything.

    I would like it to be close enough to be like the coke commercial, guilty of "taste infringement."

    Ideally, it would also be available for a great price, but right now, I am just trying to find what skis to look for.

    try a sheep. Or if you are feeling exotic maybe a llama. If you need something fatter I'd suggest a hippo, but those can be hard to find and carry significant risk.

    The Voile Carbon Surf is exactly the same ski (made in the same moulds just with a different top sheet) and can be had for far less if you look around.

    Maybe a K2 Maiden AK or a Fischer Watea 05/06(Blue)?

    4FRNT VCT 182cm. 1mm narrower throughout. Flex is different though.

    You have 183s of the Voile Carbon Surf or my dream Xmas Gotamas? If the Goats, I will go for it in a heartbeat.

    I've been told the Line Prophet 100 skis similarly to the goat.
