"Received them a few days ago, and they're beautiful. I've never skiied anything so much fun or had so many admiring glances for my skis. Loving every minute of them!" - Daniel, France, (12 March, 2009)
"To say it simply: Absolutely the best we ever had on our feet!!! I never thought that I could make turns like the ones I did in deep powder! Forget all the skis from Bogner, ZAI, ATOMIC and other “exclusive” brands. KINGSWOOD SKIS are made for real skiers!" - Fritz, Munich (11 March, 2009)
"Awsome skis! As a powder ski can't fault them and probably the biggest surprise has been how they performed on piste and in moguls and icy conditions. I think the best thing about the skis is their versatility, they are sweet at mach 10 or survival skiing in icy chutes." - Tom, Canada (10 March, 2009)
"Firstly, let me say how blown away I was with the mega fats. I wish I had these things years ago. We had a pretty low snow pack for Japan but the skis made it so easy to blow over all the brush sticking out and super easy to turn in the tight stuff. Super impressed with how they handled the hard pack too. You have a great product there." - Rene, Japan (12 February, 2009)
"Awesome is the overall conclusion, they have been well tested on all sorts of snow, crud, hardpack, epic powder and even some turns in the park. The groomed trails have become a blurr and the skis have a faster 0-60 than most cars. Cheers for building a top ski." - Ben, Chamonix (March 28, 2008)
"Just had another epic overseas trip with the kingswoods, this time to Japan, Hokkaido. The kingswoods are in their element. Great convesation starter with fellow kiwis. So chur for bringing such sick ski`s to this world. -Simon, NZ (March 1, 2008)
"In short, they are awesome. I have never been more confident in untouched snow, and am amazed at the variety of turn shapes the skis can hold in those conditions. I love the stiff feel and pop that the skis have when you want to throw them around." - Evan, US (March 13, 2007)
"They're a really versatile fun ski.The shape is as close to perfect as I could've asked. Not too much side cut, lightweight but not so light that the ski was overpowered. The bases are nearly indestructable. Some of those impacts I know for a fact would've drilled other ski's I've owned. Thanks for a great product I'll be back for more when the time comes." - Jason, Australia (March 13, 2007)
"WOW!! What a fun ski! They were able to handle changing snow conditions with aplomb, holding a great edge on the boilerplate ice, and dancing nimbly when in the fluff. I was really surprised with how easy it was to whip the skis around in tight situations, and equally pleased with how it responded when pushed to mach crazy speeds." - Erik, US (January 25, 2007)
"The best way to describe a ride on a pair of Kingswood fats is smooth! Those bad boys just smash through crud and hold an edge on the hardest hardpack at warp speed! Forget the chatter, skip and wander of the puny skis of yesterday. The future is fat and handmade in NZ!" - Jules, Japan (December 19, 2006)
"It's stiff enough to hold its own on the groomed or packed stuff, but where it showed me the most love was in the steep soft stuff, it skied super stable, but when I wanted to scrub speed or throw it round a bit, it let me be in control. I have never seen this in a ski before, normally I find them stiff and unforgiving, or soft and floppy in the steeps, but the Kingswood has the best of both. I will without a doubt be skiing Kingswoods for a long time to come." - Jacob McCleary, Kingswood Envoy, NZ (June 26, 2006)
"These skis are wonderful. I love every single thing about them... after a few inches of new the Skinnies floated effortlessly. On fast groomers I could virtually lay my hip down and still feel very secure in the turn. I think these skis are now the most beautiful piece of equipment I own... they are now resting very nicely in a prominent corner of my home office. I stare at them for long periods. We are developing quite a love affair." - Patrick, US (April 12, 2006)
"The mega fat is such a good ski it's humbling. Exceptional in the pow, even better when it's variable snow and they carve well enough on piste to rail high speed GS turns. They are my most prized possession." - Sam, Japan (March 18, 2006)
"They are the best for off the piste skiing I ever was skiing with. No matter if the snow is good or bad … with this skis I have so much planing surface and so much security that I don’t bother about the difference of the snow or the conditions. I was so free and in balance with that skis that I forgot my self and was even jumping helicopters and stuff like this again. It was really great and I am very happy with the mid-fat Kingwoods." - Markus, Austria (January 20, 2006)
"They really sing in the pow and chop. They float nicely in the soft powder, and plow right through when the snow is all chopped up. The skis tracked nicely on high-speed turns through varying snow conditions. I found I was able to make quick turns when needed, particularly in the tight trees. Thanks for the cool toys." - Chuck, US (January 6, 2006)
"I love the flex, the skis are very snappy especially for the tails. I rallied every type of terrain/snow/park. Work great in powder, land switch nicely on the tables in the park, they feel very light." - Casey, US (December 14, 2005)
"Stoked with the performance - cut through the heavy stuff with no problem and still nice and responsive when the terrain gets tight." - Mark, NZ (November 3, 2005)
"The nimbleness for a fat ski was a real surprise. Rebound was good making it a lively ski for this width. The Kingswood for me was instant liking. Turned well in the chutes and certainly stable at speed. It gripped surprisingly well for its width." - Frosty, NZ (August 7, 2005)
