Posted by: @pow_hnd So, I bought 3 new Koruas and got the DPS Phantom done to them all. WORTH IT! Decks stay fast all day long. Today was a great day to really feel it and see if it lived up to…   Read more»

Posted by: @elektropow I think @kimchi pointed it out well in another thread that you can just get one board that’s not an extremely specific board, be it any length etc., and grow into it quickly and have fun. When…   Read more»

Posted by: @dandan Why the fuck are people on SBF so caught up with waist width and boot overhang? Went over there for the first time in ages to check the buy/sell and saw that they’re still jabbering on about…   Read more»

TL;DR.Seriously you’re seriously way overthinking it. All this research you’re doing is not productive. Online reviews are nigh useless because it’s all preference based and you don’t know your preferences. That being the case, as long as you’re in the…   Read more»

Posted by: @matty The big boy swallow is a 170, and it is amazing. I had previously wanted a Gentem FlyFisk, but after demoing and buying the Moss, the FlyFisk felt less refined when I demoed it again at BigWave…   Read more»

Posted by: @soymateo 100% agree on the width of the pq60; same reason I haven’t picked up a few that I’ve seen in the $650ish range.  pq57 with width and taper in line with the 54 would be THE Moss…   Read more»

Posted by: @ivoHow did they botch the tune on the PQ?I just put DPS Phantom on my PQ54. Still haven’t tried on snow but hopefully good. There was a “tune” involved in the DPS treatment but the edges don’t look…   Read more»

Speaking of pointy nose Dupraz… got last year’s 6’+ in the mail a couple days ago. My 162 Cadet for reference.Pretty excited about this one. My buddy who’s seen me ride and is super into snow surf (owns a DEEP…   Read more»

Two Moss snowsticks in the current quiver: Wingswallow 149, Swallow 162. Picked up the Swallow locally in the summer, traded the Wingswallow for my PQ54 when my local shop botched a tune and gave me my pick of the demo…   Read more»

Posted by: @tp1kenobi Anyone have much experience w/ DC outerwear? Looking at a pair of bibs and an anorak from their Black Friday salesCan’t speak to DC specifically, but I’d be wary of most any outerwear produced by a snowboard…   Read more»

Heads up, Adidas has fucking AWFUL warranty service. I had a minor issue with the liners on my Tacticals delamming at a seam. Not a huge issue (the delam was below the level of my footbed) but I was worried…   Read more»

Whelp. I just picked up a 2019 D1 6+. Curious how this will go.

Think I’ve scored the parts to put together a Burton franken-binder: reflex CO2 baseplate and toe straps, Malavita highbacks, Hammockstrap 1.0 w/ double take parts. Also have some Freedbacks to play around with.I was originally hoping to get a Cartel…   Read more»

Posted by: @89c51 And yes we had advancements with stuff like T6/honeycomb cores etc that lonz mentioned but none of these reached the average snowboard you buy now. Those are still more precisely made wood and glass boards.Is anyone using…   Read more»

Posted by: @matty I can’t do merino, but I have couple of the polyester ones. They’re rad and they fit true to size. I prefer separate tops and bottoms, though. I don’t wear my ninja suits more than a couple…   Read more»

Posted by: @shredder [attach]2905,2907[/attach]Mmm.. Burton..Whoa. A Burton rep mentioned they were working on some 3D profiling and trying to explain this to me. I figured they were just copying some of the stuff Moss is doing with their bases, but…   Read more»

Posted by: @triple8sol Need to revive this thread from this 2 month slumber. 30% off with code: ROYLIFELeftover Dupraz D1 inventory from last year 

Gah voucher expired. So interested.

I have a law license, I’ve done trademark work, and this nonsense is infuriating (even accounting for the apology). If they’d gone Backcountry Access or Backcountry Magazine, I’d still be pissed over attempted ownership of the word “backcountry” but I’d…   Read more»
