In the dynamic world of freestyle skiing, innovation and creativity are paramount. LINE Skis, a brand synonymous with pushing the boundaries of ski design, has once again set a new standard with the release of the all-new LINE Blend, featuring a limited-edition Will Wesson Pro Model graphic. This latest iteration pays homage to Will Wesson’s 18-year legacy with LINE, embodying his unique style and influence in the freestyle skiing community.

A Legacy of Creativity and Innovation

Will Wesson’s partnership with LINE Skis spans nearly two decades, during which he has become a pivotal figure in the evolution of freestyle skiing. Known for merging creative style with technical prowess, Wesson has inspired multiple generations of skiers to explore new possibilities on the slopes. From groundbreaking street segments with Level 1 to co-founding the LINE Traveling Circus and securing a Gold in X-Games Real Ski, his contributions have left an indelible mark on the sport.

The All-New LINE Blend: Designed for Freestyle Excellence

The redesigned LINE Blend stays true to its freestyle DNA while introducing fresh construction elements tailored for pressing, buttering, and pushing boundaries in both park and street settings. With a versatile 100mm waist width and a playful feel, the Blend is ideal for skiers seeking to infuse significant creativity into their repertoire. Whether navigating the best parks or enjoying rope tow laps, the Blend promises an engaging and dynamic experience.

Key Features of the LINE Blend

•Symmetric Flex™: Ensures uniform flex patterns in front of and behind the boot, facilitating equal performance when riding forward or backward.

•Aspen Core: Constructed with 100% Aspen wood, offering a lightweight and nimble feel.

•Carbon Ollieband: Incorporates pre-stretched carbon down the center of the ski, enhancing pop and playfulness, essential for freestyle maneuvers.

•Thin Tip™: Features a reduced swing weight, contributing to a light and agile skiing experience.

•Fatty Base & Edge: Equipped with a high-density sintered base and thicker edges, significantly boosting durability and extending the ski’s lifespan.

Exclusive Will Wesson Pro Model Graphic

The limited-edition graphic draws inspiration from Wesson’s first pair of skis—the LINE Mike Nick Pros—and one of his favorite LINE designs featuring wolves in the snow from the LINE Anthem series. Collaborating with artist Samborghini, the design merges nostalgic elements with contemporary aesthetics, resulting in a unique airbrush motif that reflects both Wesson’s personal journey and the evolution of the Blend series.

The connection between LINE Skis and Will Wesson in the creation of the all-new Blend represents a harmonious fusion of innovation, tradition, and artistic expression. This ski not only honors Wesson’s significant contributions to freestyle skiing but also provides athletes with a versatile and dynamic tool to explore their creativity on snow. As the sport continues to evolve, the LINE Blend stands as a testament to the enduring impact of visionary athletes and the brands that support them.
