Quiver ZAG : H112 198, the kid’s got thighs!

Recently a Masters graduate in engineering and ergonomics of sporting products, Bastien spent the last year of his studies between the university and the Zag house.

He had already deserted his classes in order to make skis, snowboards, and wind-surfing boards…and he even won, with three of his colleagues, the prize for sports innovation at the 2008 Audi Challenge, thanks to the invention of a new flexible handle-bar for mountain bikes. Unfortunately, being too busy following ZAG production affairs, he couldn’t attend the prize-giving! Yep, he now spends most of his time in the factories….and on his skis of course! Close

Managing director of Zag skis

Zag Quiver : H112 in 198 because he skis hard. Slap 185 for forays in freestyle and backcountry. Loves skiing the Big in 188 and the Heli Gold in 189, models that reflect Zag’s origins.

Originally from the Pyrenees, Franck began his ski life with alpine skiing before taking a freestyle direction. As a freestyle skier he picked up his first sponsors and then later moved more into freeriding with the creation of the IFSA circuit (International Freeskiing Association) where he recorded some good results in both the European and World events.
Franck could have continued as a pro-rider but decided instead to go into business as a regional distributor for Zag. He chose Zag not just because they were great skis but because he was attracted by the prospect of getting in near the beginning and so could be involved in the evolution and development of the brand. Whilst a pro-rider, his skis were supplied by one of the major manufactures but he felt he might as well not have existed. A large part of the attraction of being involved in a small company was that he could put forward his own ideas and someone would listen. From 2004 to 2006, he distributed Zag skis in the South-West of France. Today he finds himself as Managing Director of Zag Skis; quite a jump. As such he does have a little less time on the snow than before, but tries to get out whenever there are fresh powder conditions. The head office is only 300m from the funicular railway that gives direct access to Les Arcs. 2 to 3 hours of skiing a day helps to stimulate the mind and inspire productivity, as Franck continues to prove!
What do you like about Zag skis ?
« The « traditional » Zags (Big; Héli Gold, Lady Gold) really do ski differently and this is the main reason Zag has been able to break into the famously tight-knit ranks of world ski manufacture. Great on piste but once you take them away from the prepared runs it’s astonishing how easy they are to ski on any type of snow and any terrain you come across. They are THE ski for all skiers.
The wide, long and soft-flexing tips together with the short radius sidecuts allow the skier to effortlessly make his way over all types of powder from light to heavy to crusty, and also to carve up the pistes. The new stiffer flex patterns also mean that the skis work even better on the hardest and most icy of slopes.» Close
