Re: Captians log...

Thankfully was able to get out last Saturday for the annual end of season banked slalom event here (Day 5 for me 🥲). Conditions were pretty icy w/ frozen slush, after a pretty warm week leading up to last Saturday's -10ish°C windchill weather. Was quite icy in certain areas and almost slid out a ...

Re: HARDGOODS 25/26



The feedback I've heard since it released was it was not that stiff and rides pretty lively, which is what I was looking forward to. And I've been wanting to get a Capita board for a while now. Guess the wait continues ;p.


Obviously taken with a grain of salt, but I've spoken to a few Aero ...

Re: HARDGOODS 25/26

Finally got to ride again this past weekend, during a big demo day event set up by my main local shop (the hermano ad1105 was helping out the Mervin tent, actually 👊🏼).Only tried two boards; don't really have much interest in any other ones at the moment, tbh.

Rode both the W26 Capita Aero & the ...

Re: United Shapes


If anyone is looking for a 153 deep reach, PRFO has it for super cheap. This is CAD too, so if you're in the US even cheaper.

Re: BINDINGS

Yeah, the double take ratchet + ladder on B Bindings kept freezing on me one too many times. Don't think I'll ever go back to them.

Re: Stranda Snowboards




Our (now former) GM, a 47 y/o skier, has been wanting to try one of my boards for carving since I posted a clip on the cheater a couple years ago. Now that he's a civilian this season, we finally made it happen.

He'd spent a bit of time on boards in the 90s, mostly hardboots, so it's been a ...

Re: HARDGOODS 25/26



at least sims has been around making boards in one form or another. I don’t think the Japan side of the business ever stopped, they put together a cool US team, and have only done one or two “reissues” - made some decent videos too.

I will say reposting an influencer doing a tindy is pretty ...

Re: The boot thread



Related/unrelated - So many people seem to love the infuse, but man those things struck me as a hot mess when I tried them on a couple times. I have a couple local friends who love the boot but are super over the system .


Totally agree. They fit me pretty well, but wish it had a little less ...

Re: United Shapes

Awesome summary Spenser . Think the DR might not be what I'm wanting these days, as much as it saddens me bcos love the shape.

Cadet sounds great, wish it came in a 157. And slightly more mid-wide in ww. Otherwise, sounds like a sweet board. I def can't do the smaller size, not a fan of anything ...
