With 88 mm under the boot, the Kendo delivers impressive carving performance thanks to the three different radii in the sidecut. These enable precise power transmission, uncompromising liveliness, and optimum turning behavior such as never before experienced with Titanal skis.
The Kendo 88 is also built with a Titanal frame and carbon tips, providing more stability and impressive damping.
As a result, the ski offers an extremely lively yet smooth ride, even at high speeds. A multilayer wood core framed by full sidewalls and with a P-Tex 2100 base rounds off the premium construction.

- Ultimately damp at higher speeds and holds its edge with authority even on ice and hardpacked snow
- Solid build has this ski holding up for multiple seasons regardless of how hard they are skied
Not ideal for
- At 88mm underfoot does not offer enough float for fresh powder days
- Extremely firm flex rating creates stability but sacrifices forgiveness and playfulness

Gary Neft owns this product
This is an excellent all-mountain ski for anyone in the Midwest or East who likes to ski groomers, trees, and moguls, and a more groomer-oriented ski for out west, it can handle speed with ease as it does not chatter, is very easy to turn in long GS or short slalom
Ideal for
- Skiing on any terrain except deep powder
- Skiing at speed, no chatter
- Short and long turns
Not ideal for
- Not great for deeper, softer snow
- They like to ski fast
- Might be heavier with metal from tip to tail

Kendo 88
Posted on Aug 29, 2023Enjoyable to ski in all terrain and conditions. Great on hard pack, bumps and soft snow. The shovel doesn't get hooked up to much in deeper and cut up snow. The 3D radius turning is actually is noticable if you are skilled enough to manipulate the Ski.

He help me find what gear was right for me and matched the price of all my gear. This has definitely been the best customer experience I have ever received. Bro gave a great deal on some sick gear. I really excited to try my new gear and I am very happy with the whole experience. Give this man a raise.

I knew I wanted skiing gear for the season, but didn’t know anything about the ski gear. Leo walked me through some great options and explained the differences. I really appreciate that he found sales items. On an aesthetic level he made sure things looked like they went together instead of just a random assortment of colors.

Leif was very patient with my picky nature for choosing my first board. He kept sending me really great options! His feedback for the boards were really insightful and the picks for my boots and bindings were perfect! This was a really fun and unique experience. Highly recommend to my friends that I’ll be riding with!

I was looking to purchase a new setup (snowboard, boots, bindings, and googles) for the upcoming season. Everything I have is very worn out. The last time I purchased a new setup was ten years ago, and I did not know where to start. So, I went through the "find your snowboard" quiz and was matched with Mike. From there we were able to really dial in my setup. I can't wait to try it out! Thank you Mike!

I'm getting back into snowboarding after a lonnngg hiatus and Leif knew exactly what I needed for both my skill level and the exact mountain I will be spending time at this winter. I had a pretty small budget considering the cost of gear and he found me a board and bindings way under budget. I was thrilled. I was also delighted that I got a personalized video describing my options. Highly recommended!

Ryan was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I can in knowing nothing about snowboards and I gave him a weird task of trying to find a board that would work for both me and my brother at different weights. I appreciate how happy he was to help and how he kept checking in on me wanting to help.

Jay is Awesome!
5 /5
Jay is very knowledgeable when it comes to snowboards. If you really want to dive into the differences between the materials, and engineering behind snowboards Jay is the guy to get into these conversations with. I’ve been riding for 25 plus years, and at this point in my life, I really appreciate Jay being there to just talk about the different nuances of snowboarding. I feel he was really able to understand the type of riding I like to do, and where i want to take my riding, and made excellent gear recommendations.
