  It supposedly an improved version of the NRG. It's supposed to be very similar except for being smoother and less snappy.

  I wish D3 made a 69" ski for bigger skiers. I would like to try them out

  @ballsohard keep an eye out for a description of that ski on the D3 website. The guys are currently writing it. Can't say when it will be done, but it is in the works. I will say that the new graphics look sick and Sean was ripping on it when we shot those images.
  
  @epnault that's a topic that to my knowledge has been tossed around. Maybe dropping the 64'' and adding a 69'' would work. I don't know. I'm not the guy making those decisions.

  On the 69”, the math is simple. It costs circa $5-10k to set up the tools, maybe more these days. When you look at a low number of sales for the 68” and even lower for 69” it just doesn’t work out. You might think these markets are huge but if D3 had a 69” they may not sell 10 of them.

  @epnault
  I’m a big guy skiing at 34 into 32 off.
  The 68 EVO is plenty big for me and is incredibly fast.
  Throw a whisper fin on it and it’s lightning fast.
  You should give one a try.

  I get the low volume thing for sure. In ski season I am between 210-215. I am 6’1 and in great shape but the fact is guys like me are the outlier for slalom skiing products for sure.
  
  @mbabiash I might demo that one this year. I ski at 34mph to and can sometime get past 28off. Everyone has always told me I need to ski 69. We will see.

  @epnault at 34 mph and 210 I find a 68” ski has plenty of support. At 230 I found a 68” D3 a little small bot not at 220 and under.
