Posted by: @casjcade I bet they’ve tried different versions, but mine is 60%ish clear sintered on the outer with some structure to it, and 40% extruded that they printed graphics on. Supposed to be some fluoro additives in the sintered,…   Read more»

I just watched this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJMdXx0gg80 and he doesn’t say there’s any sintered material in the TNT base. Maybe there’s another video with it better explained? I haven’t had to deal with any shots that go through the sintered layer on…   Read more»

Call it a high end extruded if you like. Here’s an email I got from Mervin when I asked them about the TNT base back in 2010: The tnt is not a sintered base   It is a co-extuded base…..   Read more»

Posted by: @casjcade @supra isn’t the only difference between bases that the tnt is grinded lighter sintered+extruded with graphics, and the regular is all sintered with either die-cut or heavier graphic sheet? Sure, sintered or extruded. I refuse to pay…   Read more»

Mike Biolos of Lost has done the same. He still calls it the Wuhan Flu.

I love the K2 perfect fit 2.0 toe straps and the sender ankle straps. Second place would be the B gettagrip straps

I see the short fat as being in the nug/420 category while the Rocket is in the HPS/K2 Instrument category. my Rocket doesn’t feel anything like a Lib. It has no mag and a really thin construction. The asterisk with…   Read more»

the Lib Short Fat is a different board to the Rocket eh

I liked the HPS Taka when I rode it but I slightly preferred the Lib Tech Mayhem Rocket that I own (I rode them back to back). The Taka is really nice but totally cockblocked from my quiver by the…   Read more»

Posted by: @kimchi Posted by: @spenser @kimchi I know you recognized the specs when I posted about it, but it’s like you’re asking for a US orbit with a longer overall length 😜 everything else is virtually spot on. But…   Read more»

This year was the worst winter in Japan in the last 40 or more years. Maybe since they started recording snowfall? I forget – it’s one of those things you don’t want to hear a lot about. So all of…   Read more»

The B. Hot is good in pow, it definitely floats bigger than its size. For you, the Be Hot 64 will feel basically the same as the 6+, but a bit stiffer. Next year’s Be Hot will be softer, between…   Read more»

I think the appeal of buying new boards is you’re buying the dream – this board will be the most amazing board ever and it will give me the best days ever! It’s definitely a ‘grass is greener…’ situation. After…   Read more»

Patagonia Nano air jacket has been pretty good in replacing a fleece layer.
For boards, the Dupraz D1 5’5 standard has been amazing.

Here in Japan, people who go out are all masked up and careful, but in the workplace they seem to forget/not realize that people they know could have it. This week I saw people giving each other tastes of their…   Read more»

Posted by: @supra Still have too many new boards to try this year for a definite answer, but based on last year’s picks: 159 K2 Manifest 154 Jones Mind Expander solid standby’s are the Gentem XY & Vimana Vufo. Oh…   Read more»

@blackbnr32 that’s a good point. @austradamus I haven’t looked at those board specs and haven’t been interested in B boards in a while, but can’t you use the Custom for everything? I find when I have multiple boards for the…   Read more»
