JFC, who cares. I’m Burton head to toe. But these fucking reissues just need to stop. I personally don’t want to ride a deck with 20 year old specs and honestly neither does the major of people or snowboards wouldn’t have changed as much as they have.

It’s just dumb and a heart-strings cash grab.

If they give a fuck about Michi put out a new deck with the specs he prefers these days.

Otherwise just stop.

Yeah, Brushie trout was sick aside from the 247 waist. CK tree in 58 was suitable for me but I’ve got a size 9 boot, so 258ww was no issue. But yeah, I agree with you. The CK mustard ketchup had something like a 244ww on the 161 lol

I suppose that reissues are aesthetic nostalgia for the past with current technology. It wouldn't make sense to make boards today with the demanding riding of the old boards.

But I speak from logic not from experience. . I haven't tested reissues and the reality is that I'm not too interested either...

Im with you on this, Even worse are the reissue companies that solely rely on nostalgia like Kemper(defunct), Atlantis, Forum and now Joyride(I probably forgot half off them). Just no.

Would be very hard to resist a reissue Turtle(might happen) or a first year Johan(guess never) because Im a hypocrite..

Anyone that is using/used it tested the AK Kalausi jacket? Can't find a decent picture of the inside of it to see how the pockets are.. and does it have a snowstopper or waistgater? Or whatever you call it
It seems to me not all AK jackets have it? Picture added to show what I mean

Watched The Miserable Champion again this winter and thought that docu could have been twice as long. And Maybe longer than that. Sooooo so much stuff was glossed over or left out completely.
