Description
The Line Sakana Skis mark a paradigm shift for all-mountain and freeride aficionados. The distinctive swallowtail architecture on these Line skis ingeniously reduces tail weight, providing effortless buoyancy in deep powder while meticulously preserving edge command for precise carving on compacted snow. The 5-Cut multi-radius sidecut empowers a magnificent array of turn shapes, and the Carbon Flax Tape enhances rigidity without sacrificing its inherent suppleness. Featuring Early Rise tips and a directional flex pattern, the Line Sakana delivers an exhilaratingly playful yet commanding ride, ideal for skiers from intermediate to expert levels.

On average, your skis should fall somewhere between your chin and forehead when held upright. There are a few additional details that play a significant role in determining which ski size is best fit for you. After consulting the size chart, be sure to consider your weight, skill level, skiing style and the type of terrain you’ll be frequenting.
Here are some reasons for sizing up or down:
Weight
- Size up if you are above average weight for your height.
- Size down if you are below average weight for your height.
Skill Level and Style
-
Size up if you are an advanced/expert skier who prefers
to be fast and aggressive in style.
- Longer skis tend to have a more stable feel.
-
Size down if you are a beginner/intermediate skier who
prefers skiing at a more leisurely pace with quick turns.
- Shorter skis offer higher overall manoeuverability.
Terrain
- Size up if you love to explore the backcountry. Most off-piste skiers lean towards longer skis.
- Size down if you prefer carving your way down a well-groomed mountain or hard pack snow.
