Award-winning and head-turning, the LINE Sakana is a versatile all-mountain ski unlike any other. Featuring a unique swallowtail shape and camber through most of the ski, the Sakana excels at carving turns on hard snow. Its early rise tip, back-mounted stance, and wide shovel allow it to surf effortlessly through deeper snow. Floating on fresh powder and carving better than your dad at Thanksgiving dinner, the Sakana is a game-changer.

SHAPE |
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. |
SIDECUT |
5-Cut™ Geometry - FIVE different radiuses are blended into the ski’s sidecut. The result? A wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel. |
SIDEWALL |
Ultra-High Density Polyethylene vertical walls over the edges absorb vibrations and provide powerful energy transmission. |
