Praxis Lhasa Pows?

**DJSapp** · 10-14-2018, 10:14 PM

Damnit. I need core and flex advice

Me: 6'3" 240 lbs. ex Kirkwood B-team maggot, now married with younger kids and approaching 40. Previously thoroughly enjoyed Volkl G41's 188cm, G4's 178cm, Explosivs 190cm, DPS Wailer 95's flex 2, Carbon Lhasa's 186cm. Did not enjoy the 193 NoKaOi's, just too damn stiff. Original Bro Model 188's soft flex is only fun on a light pow day because they act like reverse camber skis, but other than that I'm way to big for them.

I don't get out like I used to, and frankly most of my ski days are with the kids now. In 5 years they may be ripping the shit of out it, but this season I'll probably only sneak a few good runs in and maybe get up for a bro's weekend.

I'm looking for a feel similar to the 186 Lhasa, but the extra length will be nice as they feel a bit short for me. Is that the 3/4 enduro with carbon?

**splat** · 10-14-2018, 10:33 PM

DJ - I swear that's it. Go with the 3/4 and that little extra stiffening and you'll be set perfectly.

Yes

**DJSapp** · 10-14-2018, 10:36 PM

Awesome. Deposit made, with Mrs. DJSapp's full blessing because 'Splat makes badass skis'

Those videos are like 100 million words, and for someone way too enthusiastic like me, they take me from “ok I want these skis, how do I make this work and save to get them”, to, “take my money now, just bash the paypal credit account, i’ll pay em off in 6 months”

Love that vid. Maxim fuggin rips. I feel like that when I ski my Lhasa’s, def don’t look like that.
Love how at 1:47 he just stands centered on them and flicks them into a slarve, love that about this shape and it’s such a controlled process and great feeling.
