THE SAKANA 2026
Open Up a New World of Possibilities
Award-winning and head-turning, the LINE Sakana is a versatile all-mountain ski like no other. Utilizing a unique swallowtail shape and camber through the majority of the ski, the Sakana can rail turns on hard snow, while an early rise tip, back-mounted stance, and wide shovel allow the skis to surf through deeper snow. A ski that floats on fresh and carves better than your dad on Thanksgiving dinner, experience the game-changing Sakana.

Details
Rocker Type: Rocker Profile – 10mm Tip / 4mm Camber / 0mm Tail
Early Rise™ – 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.
Flex: Directional Flex – The softer tip floats and initiates turns easily while the stiffer tail provides power, stability and high speed control.
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.
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.
Core: Maple and Paulownia Wood Core
Laminates: Carbon Flax Tape – Carbon Stringers offset by Flax Taping create added stiffness without the pingy, deflective properties of Carbon.
Sidewalls: Sidewall Construction – Ultra-high density Polyethylene vertical walls over the edges to absorb vibrations and provide powerful energy transmission.
Base: Sintered 1.3 mm Base – Sintered bases reduce friction against the snow allowing for more speed, and more durability due to the high-density material they're crafted from.
Edges: 2.1mm x 2mm
Stance Back from Center: -80.5mm
