Elan Amphibio Waveflex 88 XTi Fusion (2013)
Tester's Review
This stable, playful carver loves making round, locked-in turns across the fall line but can easily adapt to different turn shapes from snappy arcs to sweeping pendulum swings. A soft tip readily hooks up in soft snow. Some testers didn't like this grabby feel in trees and bumps, but those who skied it with a less smeary, more edgy style had no issues. Like the Amphibio 14 (page TK), it has dedicated left and right skis, with rockered outer edges and cambered inner edges.
