Thanks for the review! Sounds kind of like what I am looking for. Something that can handle speed and plow through everything from clean powder to chunky crud. I've been riding a Gnu 164W which has held up but is old and takes a lot of force to power through the thicker stuff; was a backup board for another that I pretty much wrecked.Yes. Riding one this year after many many years on Lib’s. I really like it. Feels good to be back on a more traditional camber board vs. rocker b/w inserts.
Super well made. Base is best I’ve ever had on a snowboar. Good pop. No speed limit, plenty powerful/stable, but not punishing/cumbersome if I want to slow it down and skate the side hits.
I’m 6’1” 180 lbs and ride way better than I surf. Went 161w and happy w/ sizing (I’ve always ridden 159-161 boars, but this is nearly a cm wider then anything I’ve ridden previously). Was nervous it’d feel slow edge-to-edge, but took like 4 runs to sort that out.
I still get occasional flashes of PTSD from boot overhang - good to hear that it's a legit wide board and just a matter of making sure bindings are centered.
