Product Info
The Line Sir Francis Bacon Shorty Skis are a great way to meet the needs of vertically challenged pow rippers. Using the same Eric Pollard design as the adult SFBs but with a durable Fibercap construction and Aspen wood core instead, the SFB Shorty uses Line's Early Rise™ in the tip and tail for easier turn initiation and effortless float in the soft stuff. A full twin tip and symmetrical flex complete the setup for a nimble, playful and floaty setup gnarly groms can tip and dip with confidence!
Product Details
Rocker Type
Early Rise™ – The rise of the tip and tail begin earlier as the ski profile moves away from center, making for easier turn initiation and helping to get the skis up on plane more quickly. This also means effortless float in softer snow.
Rocker Profile – 6 mm Tip / 1 mm Camber / 6 mm Tail
Flex
Symmetric Flex™ – The same flex pattern in front and behind your boot conforms to terrain equally riding forward and backwards.
Shape
Early Taper™ – The widest part of the sidecut begins tapering earlier in the tip and tail which reduces tail hook ups in powder.
Core
Aspenlite™ – 100% aspen for the lightest, most nimble feel.
Sidewalls
4D Fibercap™ – 4 directions of fiberglass are woven across the top of the core for durability without unnecessary weight.
Base
Extruded 1.7 mm Fatty™ Base
Edges
2.5 x 2.2 mm
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
Recommended Stance -30.6mm from Center

Terrain
Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Tail Type:
Full Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Full Twin Tip Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
