Wow very nice setup

i’ve alllmost picked up a backseat driver a few times, but I remembered my old Lib DIY has some edges I could trim down.

basically taking that shape plus a little more moon tail. keeping the dakine surf pad under the rear foot, and mimicking the stud pattern for the front.

before I picked this up I looked at grabbing a backyard or a diy bc they're stiffer and for the potential to make a split surfer,

Do bindings go in the backpack on descent in this case?

Yep. But the pow surf specific bindings just have webbed straps like a snowshoe and are minimal for weight. So. not a big deal.

I've already tried to get B to sell me another set of these grip nipples if I do because I'll need to rearrange the footing a bunch.

But yeah, an modded lib DIY would be damn good and just as fun I'm sure. Fingers crossed for so much good light fluffy shit this winter.

they do sell “Surf Studs” which i’m 99% sure is just a bigger pack of these:

which is what I’m using (they come in gold ). was a little torn on using the Union studs to show some love, but we get these gold studs cheap enough i can buy three sets off B for the same price as two U.

I didn't realize they sold them separately. Thanks! BUt how you getting gold? They're not on the website

You will need them anyway, since they get lost easily. At least I have lost almost half of the nipples in couple years. I might also try something else under foot.

Otherwise I’ve been pretty happy with the Backseat Driver.

I haven't lost any on my other Backseat and my kiddos aren't exactly gentle with it. I guess time will tell.

I see. The buttons vs. the nipples.

Production cycle seems little undercooked. Keeps making weird gurgling noises and emitting strange fluids. Also seems to magically take all my time, sleep, and money. But looking forward to eventually getting this baby out on the slopes and see what she can do.

In seriousness, supremely stoked despite the exhaustion. Writing this on the night of day 6. Been watching epic opening day snowfalls and footage across the West and somehow not feeling too much envy. Felt a bunch of life priorities immediately rejigger when she popped out. Will hopefully see a day or two on the slopes this year, but won't be too fussed if I just write off the season.

I am glad I invested in learning to skate and surf over the past couple years. Being able to get quick 10-15 minute skate sessions around the block has been a lifesaver. Hopefully will be able to get in the water in a few months when she transitioned out of the newborn phase.
