DESCRIPTION

The 2027 Line Sakana with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is the original carve-weird, slash-happy ski, returning rebuilt for freestyle abuse. A paulownia and maple core, swallowtail shape, and Carbon Flax Tape reinforcement combine for a ski that carves like a knife and slashes like a snowboard, now with the durability to handle rails, jibs, and switch landings. We paired the Sakana with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.

Why we like it:

This generation keeps the original's swallowtail soul and adds Thick-Cut Sidewalls, Bio-Resin, and Thin Tips for genuine freestyle durability. Same surfy carving feel, far more abuse tolerance.

Who it's for:

Advanced and expert skiers who want a unique carving experience and are not put off by an unusual shape. Particularly suited to skiers who like to mix carving with creative slashes and switch riding.

Highlights:

The big shape feature is the swallowtail: removing surface area from the tail lets the ski release out of carves quickly and feel shorter on firm snow than its dimensions imply. Carbon Flax Tape adds reinforcement without the harsh feel of pure carbon, which is part of where the Sakana gets its smooth on-edge character, and the paulownia and maple core keeps things light enough to be quick on edge yet stiff enough for higher speeds. Rocker is unique to this ski, with significant rise up front and none at all in the tail, and combined with the swallowtail that is what produces the carve-weird personality. A 105 mm waist skis like a much narrower carver while still floating well once the snow softens. With a low stand height of just 17 millimeters, the 2027 Tyrolia Attack 14 offers an impressively close connection to the snow, delivering precise power transmission and a confident, locked-in feel. The FR Pro3 toe piece allows for a full 180 degrees of boot release, enhancing safety in a variety of fall scenarios, while the AFS (Anti-Friction Slider) ensures reliable re-centering and consistent release characteristics. Built to withstand hard use, the Attack 14 combines durability with performance, making it a go-to option for aggressive skiers who demand trust in their gear.

Things to consider:

The swallowtail design is polarizing. Skiers who want a traditional twin tip or a standard freeride shape may find this too unusual, and with no tail rocker at all, switch riding takes more deliberate technique than on a true twin tip.

Fit & sizing considerations:

This one sizes long thanks to the swallowtail, and since the effective edge is shorter than the overall length most skiers will be happy on their usual size or even a length down for tighter terrain.

Fun, surfy, poppy - this ski was just a joy to ski without any of the demanding input required of the Optic 104.

23. Also insane.
Chargey, sendy, and seeking transitions. But now that I'm 35...also calculated. I'm not saying yes to every hit anymore, but if the snow is soft and the landing is good, I'll send it.

Did this length feel short, long, or just right? Would you recommend sizing up or down, or does it ski "true to size?" Would you choose this length for yourself?

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?
So it’s important to note that I skied this right after the Optic 104, as the two skis have a lot in common on the spec sheets. Similar length, similar width - the Sakana has a slightly shorter turn radius. But, the builds themselves are completely different, and so too was the riding experience. The Sakana is a ski that’s nothing but fun to ride. It’s relatively soft, has a super wide shovel, and a swallow tail. You look at this ski, and you immediately know that it’s going to be incredibly playful. As it turns out, sometimes you really can judge a ski by its cover, because the Sakana proved to be exactly that. Fun, surfy, poppy - this ski was just a joy to ski without any of the demanding input required of the Optic 104. Overall, I just found this ski refreshing for its playfulness.
For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?
I could see this ski being really fun in tons of snow conditions. The shovel would make it super fun in powder while also enabling it to handle chopped up trail conditions. Likewise, its aggressive sidecut leads to a low turn radius which would be really fun on fresh groomers. I will say, they likely have a speed limit, so fast and firm days might not be the best for these, but if the snow is soft, the Sakana is good to go!
What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?
This is the rare ski where I think anyone from intermediates up would have a lot of fun. They aren’t a hard ski to ski, and their playful nature would allow intermediates to feel the joys of skiing. For advanced riders too, the Sakana is an opportunity to leave the ego behind and just enjoy a carvey, surfy, poppy form of the sport. The Sakana isn’t about speed, it’s about fun.
If you could change anything about these skis, what would you change and why?
Just a *little* more rise in the tail to make switch skiing less scary. They ski switch, but I could see the snow flying up at the lowest point of the V. It was a little disconcerting.
