[Editor’s Note: Our “First Looks” are our way of getting you information sooner on some of the products we’re reviewing, including our measured specs and the details from the manufacturer. Once we’ve started testing a given product, we detail our on-snow impressions in our Flash Reviews and our annual Winter Buyer’s Guide. When we’re able to spend extensive time testing a given product, we publish our in-depth Full Reviews and Deep Dive comparisons.]
What Blizzard says about the Canvas 108:
“Canvas 108 doesn't dictate the line -- it's for skiers who don't follow tracks -- they paint their own. With topsheets born in an artist’s studio and a shape designed for fun, it's all about the feeling and the expression. You’re the artist—this is your brush.”
Flex Pattern
Here’s how we’d characterize the flex pattern of the 186 cm Canvas 108:
Tips: 6.5
Shovels: 6.5-8
In Front of Toe Piece: 8.5-9.5
Underfoot: 10
Behind the Heel Piece: 9.5-8.5
Tails: 8-6.5
And here’s how we’d characterize the flex pattern of the 174 cm Canvas 108:
Tips: 6.5
Shovels: 6.5-8
In Front of Toe Piece: 8-9.5
Underfoot: 10
Behind the Heel Piece: 9.5-8
Tails: 8-6.5
This flex pattern is very, very similar to Blizzard ‘s Rustler 10 and Rustler 11. The Canvas 108 is just a tiny bit softer overall, most notably in the rockered portions of its tips and tails.
