    Small Rocker and or Rsidecut ski

    So Im looking for a ~165cm Spat inspired shape ski, whats out there.
    Czar, looks like too much side cut, flat tail. (correct me if im wrong)
    Pontoon 170cm, tip too much plus everyone has one now.
    ???

    keep in mind that fun shapes ski very short. most people go 5-10 larger then a "normal" fat ski

    pontoon 169,
    159 misbehaved

    I was holding some Czars the other day. I don't recall the dimensions, but they seemed pretty straight. Actually seemed like a nice ski.

    Slight camber under foot. Flat(ish) tail. Rocker starts a few inches back from the tip. Solly says it is 610mm, but I don't think that is running length.

    yes they are a very straight radius, I want to say somewhere around 40m, and the 610millies is considered from the tip to middle 1/3 of the ski. definitely a ski that will gain a following.

    The Czar is a twin, it does not have tail rocker if that's what you want. It actually has some of the least sidecut of all the above 110cm waist skis ( disregarding reverse )

    182: 131 / 111 / 121 (I think)

    185 praxis. or 175. But honestly, no reason to get that short of a ski (175 R/R ski) unless you're under 5' 6", or weigh next to nothing.

    I've been looking for something along these lines too for Son of Sinecure. He's a little guy at under 5' and 100lbs. He skis on 150 Scratch BCs now (90mm underfoot w/ normal sidecut/camber). Would prefer that it not be pink. I want a 165 Praxis, but haven't convinced Keith to make me a pair yet. The Scratches support him fine in the powder, but it would be f'n a fun to watch him on some reverse camber skis buttering steep soft lines.

    In any case, if you're ever really in this situation make sure you at least bargain in a couple of fluffers.
