The small guys are all the rage right now.
Everyone is on the hype train to support the industry where it matters: the true diehard brands.
I was fortunate enough to ski these bad ass planks for the better part of the season.
And I wouldnt have wanted to be on any other ski.
Now that sound cliche and all, but it is the truth.
The Wet is definitely a different pop in of ski.
A few companies have experimented with aggressive tip and tail rocker on a narrow ski.
The best was in a couple fresh inches; silky smooth.
Ive been on much worse, hell Ive been on full camber skis with much more chatter than these.
Vishnu claims the Wet to be the softest ski on the market, which I beg to differ.
They have the flex perfect for the amount of rocker.
you’re able to lean in and hold butters and presses forever.
Never catch your switch ups again!
Now, you may be thinking, yea it can jib but is it stable?
Bombing down all Vail can offer and hitting Main Street in Area 51 dismissed any concern of that.
I hate saying that something is a perfect all around tool.
Nothing will do everything perfectly.
I have never had a ski slide rails so smooth on the first day.
I never caught an edge.
Not sure if they have the edges beveled at a certain angle, but I was astonished.
I ran a gummy stone and that is all, my usual routine with new skis.
My Revisions had 11 after 20 days.
Vishnu really is keeping it true when they say this can hold up to abuse.
Other than that, the sidewalls and topsheets were looking like they just came out of the box.
The bases were also on the stronger side, couple scrapes and scratches here and there.
Holding it down up there like the best on the industry in the base category.
Swing weight seems to be a large factor these days.
The Wet is on the lower side of the spectrum.
I think the only ski I have been on with lower swing weight was the Candide 1.0.
Take all the best attributes of those skis and blend them into one and you have the Wet.
I wish I could find a fault in the Wet.
I truly do because no ski has ever felt so perfect for my skiing.
I do wish it came in a longer length.
I think a 188 would be perfect for me at 61 and a meager 160 pounds.
Support the small guys!
They do it for the fun and for the love of the sport.
Looking just like they came
