guess what willie, i've found another ski to look at. im really liking the helix. it seems like a softer more playful ski than the prophet, also lighter (bout 250g). thing is im wondering if they are gona hold up as well on groomers, crud etc. and at high speeds. also turn radius mean much? 18.9m 100 to 25.5m helix. i'ver narrowed it down to this and the prophet.

Hi henry- The helix is a great ski, i didn't suggest it because, when you were looking at the kung fujus i thought you were going thinner, you are correct it is a lighter more playful ski then the prophet, Powder mag has been raving about this ski for 2 years, and nobody has caught on yet, kind of like line skis until k2 bought them 2 years ago, now everyone is interested, they rip groomers and blast crud, they are not as quick as the prophet because of the turn radius, but you won't notice to much difference because their softer and livelier because of the bambo core, great choice. I would buy these over the prophets in a heartbeat, why more fun ski.
