The noserider gives me fearful knees, but I would be stoked to try it.

That board/ride concept may be a bit of an extreme example, but nonetheless… it's easy to forget how we tend to keep ourselves in a bubble (even if broad), in regards to what we believe we like. And maybe we're right. But at the same time (as an example), my pocket rocket experience last season blew my mind. It wasn't incredibly fun simply because it was weird and different, but it was weird and different and worked super well. Stoked to have a friend who bought one, who happily lends me boards 😜 our trade last season was quite a contrast. Me on the PR, him on the stranda cheater.

I dig all their content, but I’d really just love to see more Yearning For Turning edits. I’m sure that’s a shared sentiment. Those videos continue to get me so stoked, especially as the season approaches.
a bit of taper, a lot of camber

Yes. More "shredits" please. Let the clips run a bit.

agreed, would have been nice to have less cutting and letting things play out, but still enjoyed the overall product.

I used to be quite enthusiastic about korua, but now I'm really annoyed. They are somehow too artistic and the quality is not exactly something to brag about. I have now sold all my boards and hope the buyers are happy with them.

Care to clarify? The boards are certainly not artsy, so I have to assume you're referring to the videos?

not only. Also projects like: Sawing up boards by some guy? I also got tired of worrying that I'd be sent the wrong board every year and having to replace one of my Plus boards every year as a warranty claim, which usually took forever until the replacement finally arrived.

Could you elaborate on your recurring board & warranty issues? Genuinely just curious about your experience.
