The Volkl Kendo returns this season as a powerhouse of a ski with a new wider waist and new rocker profile. The new 90mm waist will improve your off trail and crud busting ability as you tear down the mountain. Now rocker in the tail improves the maneuverability by releasing you out of a turn with less effort and increases your ability to smear turns in softer snow. Rocker in the tip will ease your turn initiation, and absorb negative vibrations caused by bumps and crud. Camber underfoot will deliver a firm grip on the hard snow, and a powerful rebound. A layer of Titanium still provides the Kendo with a damp and powerful feeling for the strong intermediate to expert skier. Volkl's Power/Tough Box Construction has vertical sidewalls for a torsionally rigid ski that will dig trenches in the snow as soon as you lay the skis on edge. The Kendo also sports Volkl's Multi-Layer Wood Core that has a Poplar Wood on the tips and tail for a rounded and supple flex, with Ash underneath the mounting platform to add rigidity to the mid body and reduce the chances of pulling out binding screws. If you always wanted to get your boots clicked into a Volkl Kendo, but heard it was a tank, the new Kendo is more maneuverable than ever before.

There are a lot of factors that can influence your ideal ski length. Getting on the right size ski is an important part of being comfortable and enjoying your time on the slopes. Using the skier's height is a good starting point and taking things into consideration like weight, ability level, terrain, and even their personal style of skiing will help to narrow down your size range. For most people their starting point will land somewhere between their chin and nose. Remember, these are just guidelines, not rules. If you have a preferred size that you are comfortable on you can certainly go with that.
