DPS Wailer 112RP (aka my wallet is in for a beating)

[marshalolson]

time to start impregnating those bases with mucho wax.
Ask skifishbum about that...

generally they just need to be roto-brushed out of the package, and then waxed ever 3-5 days of skiing in my experience.

You want to know what DPS shipped quality is like? This is what DPS shipped quality is like. Fucking second to none.



















Mmm. Yes.

Eventually I'll take them out of the sleeves.

[Crampedon]

Fresh Meat!

TWO pairs? splain please....

Let me be the first to congratulate you on those fine boards! You could open the sleeves carefully and save them, or cut a slit after masking the binding area...

Yellow with envy!

That's some serious attention to detail! I've never owned any DPS but if every detail in the skis are as intricate as the damn packaging.......impressive to say the least.

[khyber.pass]

I'll get them out of the plastic soon.

Also plying whisky to see if I can make "side boob" a new kind of skiporn reality. No promises though.

[lurk]

Just took delivery of mine ,nice work.
Will mount them today & ski em tomorrow ( spring slush )

[The Dad]

Hybrids and Pures.

Is it just my imagination, or is the tail shape a little different between the two? Pure looks a little squatter

And is the printing off? Compare the lions' tails and asses.

[Ruoska]

Has anyone received their pair of preordered DPS's in Europe yet?

[xtrmjoe]

Picture quality not great, just did some quick snaps this am. Light was low as were getting rain in this part of Cali.
Red 112 RP


Left to right, 112RP, Lotus 120 190cm flex 3, Lotus 138 202 cm flex 2


Hand flex is nice stiff underfoot and in the tail and tip a little softer. The have a little camber underfoot and much earlier rise and shorter turning radius than the 120's. I am going with sollyfit plates which also just happen to be in red with 914's.

[khyber.pass]

^^ You've got a nice Fall view out that window. And a beautiful quiver. Damn.

@The Dad -- tails are the same. It's just that the Pures were angled outward slightly in the photo.

[The Dad]

Thanks...

Dear DPS Customer -

Shorter days and dropping temperatures can only mean one thing - ski season is approaching. Since you pre-ordered some new DPS Skis, you're probably extra excited for the coming season.

A lot of great buzz around the Wailer 112 RP and our construction improvements translated to unprecedented demand during preorder season. While the order volume was larger than we expected we added capacity to our operations, worked long hours and we're excitedly shipping out our first batch of skis this week.

Below is a tentative schedule of when skis will ship from our facility in Oregon. We will bill the balance on your card before your skis ship.

Not too stoked about that. Original delivery was to be in October. The email from a couple weeks ago said early November. Now its early December for 190 Hybrids??

that would be my hybrid 190 112RP

Shipping between December 15 and December 31:

168 Wailer 112 RP

that absolutely blows.
I ordered 3 pair of skis in fucking april, dropped a hefty deposit and they can't get skis before the snow flies??

the last email said

All preordered Hybrid skis will be shipping between today and October 15 EXCEPT the below models which will be shipping in early November:

190 Wailer 112 RPs ordered after May 21
178 Wailer 112 RPs ordered after May 5
168 Wailer 112 RPs ordered after May 10
178 Wailer 105

well I pre-ordered April 18, so what happened between that September 28 email and this October 23 email update?

By the email last month, my skis should be shipping?
Did someone else snag my skis?
Did the slow boat from China sink?

WTF, Over?

[AKvS]

Yeah, WTF!

I ordered my skis in the beginning of April, dropped a heavy deposit and was told (by mike @DPS) that I would get my skis in time for the last weeks of the south American ski season. I took this with a grain of salt but NEVER thought they would ship mid December.

For me This means I get them end December, as I live in Sweden, and have to borrow skis from friends for the first weekends and probably also Christmas/new year skiing!

If this is a joke, come clean. If not, you better have a great plan for making this up to us customers!

[Mikeisgay]

This is schedule is still tentative, right? In other words, there could be more delay. Delivery this year is not guaranteed...

Well that is just terrific news, that means that I probably have to change my shipment address, since I will by that time be overseas without skiis. I could also be a bit upset about that I have to pay for assembly of the bindings, which, I already have for free in my local ski shop.

Yeah, WTF?!?

[PNWbrit]

Scratching head.

So are there 112 hybrids still onsold and available for purchase and immediate shipping?
