This is an all-mountain freerider with a state-of-the-art build that can be used for so many different things by experienced skiers who relish powerful turns on any terrain and on any piste. Like the new Mantra and Kenja, the Kendo 88 comes with revised geometry and a one metre shorter centre radius in its 3D Radius Sidecut. The key is that the three different radii combined in one ski make for enormously versatile cornering. The new 16 m radius in the middle further increases its radius variability.

The best ski for everything on the mountain. This ski delivers ultimate versatility, carves with ease, rips up the moguls, and handles crud and chunk like no other. At just 88 mm underfoot, this ski really engages with the snow, having a daily high engagement edge. It also floats in the pow and loves to dolphin dive from the deep... Read more

Dave F owns this product
The Volkl Kendo is a great East Coast all-mountain ski, or West Coast firm snow ski, but its longer radius sidecut, narrower waist, and stiff flex make it not the most approachable or forgiving ski for intermediate skiers or anyone looking for a ski that is playful or 'jibby', and it's powder performance leaves something to be desired, even among...

Posted on Dec 27, 2023Carver was spot on in his recommendation. I had been researching a few options for a new 88 underfoot ski to replace my Rossignol Exp 88 TIs.
Carver helped in my final selection and I love the ski choice.
The Kendo 88 was the perfect replacement .

Mark was amazing!
5 /5
I can't say enough good things about Mark! As a complete beginner to snowboarding, I was feeling overwhelmed by all the gear choices, but he made the process so much easier. Mark took the time to understand my skill level, budget, and needs, recommending the perfect board, boots, and bindings without pushing unnecessary upgrades.
Not only was he knowledgeable, but also super patient and friendly, answering all my newbie questions and giving me great tips to start off right. Thanks to Mark, I feel confident and excited to hit the slopes! If you're new to snowboarding and need expert advice, I highly recommend him!

Friendly, kind and so helpful. Found my first new board fit for a beginner. Seperate from Brandon’s great service, we will see how the board works out for me when I receive it! Not necessarily any reflection on service or the company. Just depends on the board and it works out for me. Looking forward to getting out and giving it a go!

Mark was super helpful in giving me options to get gear to get my very own snowboard set up! He went beyond just sending me purchase suggestions that fit me but also sent some videos on how to get my board and boots set up 🤙🏼 He was super responsive and even through text you can tell he has an awesome personality

New to the world of snowboarding, and had no idea where to begin. Spencer was as solid as they come. He was patient, checked in as I navigated the last couple months determining if this was right for me. At the end of the day, I am super excited for my gear and get out there to learn this sport and explore New England more than I already do! Spencer is the bomb.

Ian is Awesome!
5 /5
I pretty much started&ended my day browsing at Curated website and exchanging messages with Ian. I had a different choice in mind since the size i was looking for a specific snowboard is now longer available. Ive been snowboarding for about 15years now and I'm pretty picky with my gear. i was just gonna get bindings here and ended up getting both the bindings and snowboard! -Jay Y.

Sarah is super helpful and knowledgeable!
5 /5
Sarah was so great to work with :). She knew what to recommend right away once I told her about my experience, current setup, and what I’m looking for. She’s very responsive, accommodating and nice. Even better that she recommended items that were both good in quality and perfect for what I need, but also the best prices around. She sure felt like just an advisor who is happy to help - not sales-sy at all. I’m not surprised she is a top rated curator - it is well deserved! I won’t hesitate to consult with her again on my next setup. You won’t be disappointed if you choose to work with her :)

Mike was an amazing rep to work with. He addressed a lot of my concerns and asked me questions to help me better understand what I was actually looking for. He is incredibly knowledgeable with different types of gear while having price ranges in mind. I had an absolute pleasure working with him, and I hope to bump into him one day on the slopes.

Dave provided expertise and answered all of my questions even though I told him I might not be making an immediate purchase. He had helpful tips about gear and riding in my area specifically. So thrilled I was able to chat with him and grab some gear before Curated says goodbye. He'll be an asset wherever he goes next:)
