Line Sakana Ski 2026

The Line Sakana is a unique ski, a 105 mm waisted swallowtail freeride ski with lots of character. The Carbon / Flax construction, developed in partnership with BComp in Switzerland, gives the Sakana an amazing weight of only 1.75 kg / pair 174 cm, but also energy and an astonishing ability to filter vibrations.
Built with a curvy deep 150-106-138 mm sidecut and short 15 m average radius turn, the Sakana is super playful and encourages a wide variety of turn shapes.
Obviously in powder it is fantastic, with tip lift really optimized so that even the shorter lengths float like a dream.
Where the Sakana surprised us most is when snow conditions are less idyllic
With it's subtle rocker and rather classic mounting point (compared to double rockers), 105 mm waist, flat heel and dynamic flex, the Sakana is a superb all mountain ski.
With a short 15 m radius the Sakana carves with authority on prepared pistes and it's pretty incredible to feel this with such a shape.

If the Sakana is excellent for short turns, it's a little less competent making long turns in chopped up snow when powerful skiers who want high directional stability will find the ski's limits.
The Sakana is a ski apart and will please skiers who want a sensational ski for surfing powder and who will have fun carving turns inbounds until the next snowfall.
The Sakana has a unique skill set and is really fun to ski. Every winter we order more Sakanas, but we never have enough. Enjoy!!

Features Line Sakana Ski 2026

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.
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.
Carbon flax tap:
Carbon stringers offset by flax taping create added stiffness without the pingy, deflective properties of carbon.
Sidewall construction:
Ultra-high density polyethylene vertical walls over the edges absorb vibrations and provide powerful energy transmission.
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.
