Introducing Eric Pollard’s Latest Creation: The Line Sakana

At this point, it should come as no surprise that Eric Pollard is a wizard of ski design. Pollard has been around since the dawn of freeskiing. What started as designing topsheets has morphed into full-on passion for ski design. Over the past 17 years, we have seen everything from fat floppy twin tips (think the original Sir Francis Bacons) to hard-charging powder skis like the Mordecai and the Magnum Opus, to playful all-rounders like the Blend.

Last year, Pollard took inspiration from surfing to create Line’s first swallowtail pow ski, the Pescado. This year, the swallowtail returns in a narrower waist width with an all-new ski, the Sakana. Check out what the Line Crew has to show with the new all-mountain rip sticks on some spring snow in Oregon.

And yes, before you ask, swallowtail skis can be ridden switch.
