Prodigy 1 Matej
$629.00
Matej Svancer’s aura runs deeply through the new Prodigy 1 Matej.
Self-designed by Matej, he pieced together moments from his fast-paced world: a topsheet born from a wild soirée with friends in Australia: law enforcement, Banjo’s bar, and his partner-in-crime Uti, all making their way into this story of core memories made Down Under.
Flip the ski and the base tells a different, more personal story; a nod to his Austrian-Czech roots, as he looks ahead to break the internet with his internal dialogue and physics-bending landings.
The Prodigy 1 Matej will be in his kit bag as he heads to the world’s biggest stage in freeskiing competition this season.

- You want stability and durability for crushing the park

product features
Poplar/Ash Core
Poplar is a light, durable softwood known for its flex, pop, and excellent vibration absorption. Ash, a heavier hardwood, adds stiffness and durability. Together as a duo, they offer great hold on hard snow, a solid base for landings, and enough pop and flex for creative maneuvers.
Carbon and Rubber Stomp Pad
A 600mm-long, 15mm-wide carbon & rubber inlay adds strength where it matters most. Protecting not only the wood core from heavy-duty impacts, it adds stability and vibration absorption under your boots, so that stomped landings feel better, both for you and your skis.
Mustache Flex
The 'Moustache Flex' pattern is ideal for most skiers. It offers stability in front of and behind the binding for solid edge hold, with a smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to absorb bumps and snow debris. Perfect for progression and easier turn initiation and finish.
Elliptical Sidecut
The Elliptical Sidecut features a longer radius underfoot for quicker, easier pivots, and shorter radius in the tip and tail for effortless turn initiation. This innovative sidecut supports a wide range of turn lengths, angles, and mounting positions, enhancing your skiing versatility and control.
Recycled Materials
We work closely with production partners to eliminate material waste. We mix base, sidewall and topsheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions and maintaining the same level of quality & durability.
XL 2.5mm Edges
A ski's edge is critical to its performance and handling. Our skis are crafted with XL edges that are 25% wider than the industry average. They're built to last.
Full Strength Sidewall
Experience superior edge hold and stability with the XL Full Strength sidewall. This construction adds protective strips along the core, shielding the woodcore, edges, and topsheet from impact and damage. Enhanced durability and performance with every season, peak and itinerary.
Anti-Chip Micro-Cap
The Anti-chip Micro Cap protects the ski's tips and tails from wear and tear. Where the ski's topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, this delicate area is shielded by the Micro Cap. This protects from chipping and additional sidewall damage, each day you set out on the mountain.

Prater Patter
Self-designed by Matej, he pieced together moments from his fast-paced world: a topsheet born from a wild soirée with friends in Australia: law enforcement, Banjo’s bar, and his partner-in-crime Uti all making their way into this story of core memories made Down Under. Flip the ski and the base tells a different, more personal story. Drawn from the places that shaped him: Vienna’s Prater, Prague’s Old Town Square, clocks and memories stitched together in a black-and-white glitch patchwork. It nods to his Austrian-Czech roots, while looking straight ahead at the next time he breaks the internet with his internal dialogue or physics-bending landings.
Skis Size Guide
FIND YOUR SIZE WITH OUR EXPERT ADVICE VIDEO:
As explained in our video guide above, choosing the right ski length depends on a mix of different factors. On a basic level, height, weight and ability should give you a good idea of what length of ski you should go for.
As a rule of thumb, start with a ski around nose to eyebrow level height.
If you are just starting out, or at an intermediate level, then we suggest that you take some length off. If you’re a more advanced/expert skier, then we suggest you should push your ski length towards your full height or even further. If you are heavier than the average weight for your size, feel free to add some ski length as well.
