LINE Sakana Skis 2027
The Versatile All Mountain Ski Like No Other
An icon gets rowdy. We took the surfy swallowtail feel of the original Sakana and rebuilt it for skiers who hit rails spin sidehits and stomp in the park. Now with a slightly kicked-up tial for smoother switch landings - plus Thick -Cut Sidewalls Bio-Resin and Thin Tips for durability that shrugs off rails and laps for days. Same carve-weird slash-happy energy. Just rebuilt tougher with more freestyle.

Bio-Resin
Thick-Cut Sidewall
We've extended the amount of sidewall that stretches into the core of the ski while adding more material over the steel edges to increase the total bonding surface area. This creates sidewalls more resilient to hard edge impacts, like sliding rails.
Thin Tip™
5CUT™ Multi-Radius Sidecut
FIVE different radiuses are blended into the ski’s sidecut. The result? A wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel.
FATTY BASE & EDGE™
30% thicker base & edge, 2mm wide x 2.5mm high steel edges and 1.7mm thick base dramatically increase durability and tuning life the skis.
Sintered Base
A dense, high‑performance base that absorbs wax efficiently for superior glide. Known for speed and durability across snow types.
SWALLOWTAIL
A dramatic tail knockout de-couples the farthest reaches of the effective edge while simultaneously forcing the tail of the ski down in soft snow. The result is a ski that can be ridden at shorter lengths without sacrificing performance. An eye-catcher for sure in the liftline but it's not just eye-candy, Eric Pollard pushed for this design after experiencing its advantages in surfing and snowboard designs. The swallowtail design is as important as what it is as what it's not! The absence of material in the tail drastically reduces weight while the shape maintains a long effective edge for arching turns and staying in control. In powder, the tail drops you back in the snow lifting your tips for ample flotation while maintaining a neutral skiing stance so you're not in the backseat trying to stay afloat. For those concerned about durability have no fear, the tail is reinforced with titanal so stay in once piece.
SIDEWALL CONSTRUCTION
Vertical sidewalls that maximize power transfer to the edges. This design improves stability and grip at higher speeds.
EARLY RISE
The tip and tail lift away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the center of the ski. This increases a ski's lift in deep snow and allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack when rolled over on edge.
DIRECTIONAL FLEX
The softer tip floats & initiates turns easily while the stiffer tail provides power, stability & high speed control.
CARBON FLAX TAPE
Carbon Stringers offset by Flax Taping create added stiffness without the pingy, deflective properties of Carbon.
