The lurking gator on the top sheet should give you some idea of the capability of the 2023 Rossignol Black Ops 118 Skis - all calm and serene up top, but when you dive down you encounter the beast. Watch some Parker White videos and you'll see what we mean; some surfy and spinny stuff and then WHAM, the action explodes and you see the kind of guts the 118 has. Hard-charging and "surfy" can live together in peace - the Black Ops 118s are living proof.
