too bad that in my (small) sizes the sidecut is too tight

Ahh bummer. The 159 specs are absolutely perfect for me: 260ww, 10mm taper, 7.8m sidecut.

7m for the 153.

the next size up is too wide for me

(still, I'm interested... I have a soft spot for Salomon boards)

Me too. My First Call was one of my favorite boards. Have always regretted selling it.

I had the First Call in 151 and 162. I think this new Sickstick is what was missing from the First Call.

My first beginner board was a Salomon Pulse 152.

Then: Second year S8, 23/24 S8, both 51, and last Ultimate Ride 53 non tapered incarnation (on paper, width and sidecut-wise, this version is perfect for me). In the last winter I didn't have the balls to ride the UR :lol:

Yeah, they make great boards. I've had a few:

First Call 151
Multiple Huck Knife 156 wides
Super 8 157
Dancehaul 152
Craft 157w

And now the new Sickstick 159 and a used Highpath 159 on the way.

I struggle with throwing money at ski board brands, but I just like Salomon. Grabbed some new Holograms for these new decks, too.

Our friend Lars
Lately I'm more focused on soft boards. I like what Lars says but I add tolerance for mistakes in tricks and jumps

C2 & purepop/vans infuse/skate tech/ AK …

there are, no bad snow
