When it just looks "right."
The less-tapered cadet is great, but I would 1000% run this as a daily driver in a solid.

@Spenser what clips are those on your Covert? I have the factory Karakorams but was thinking about replacing with the Phantoms, just don't know what size I need...
First season on the Covert, my other split is a Cardiff Swell, which has been quite neglected since getting the US. LOVING the Covert! Such a great board, and I agree, I want it in a solid. Still stuck between the Cadet and the Deep Reach as a solid from US, but if the dimensions of the Covert were in a solid it would be a no-brainer for me.
Thanks!
They're also unions, as above. I don't care regardless because I'm swapping in my phantoms, but would have rather had the K ultra 2.0 come stock. Not sure what's up, there.
While Phantoms are passive, they put the board under tension
without bindings when adjusted correctly. They are just beefy, so easy to set up, and work great. The unions feel solid once you have bindings on & they're adjusted correctly, but unlike the phantoms, they just hang the board halves together without tension. I don't think they would provide much support on a board where the tail connection is flat (swallowtail/etc), but that doesn't matter on the covert.
By size, do you mean hardware? I did some comparing as the inserts are different than my squash, and it's the black M5X11 fine-thread. I should have them in a few days to confirm 100%. I'd email them - I don't know which of the listed board brands use that hardware.
What are you hanging up on between cadet and deep reach? Maybe I can help
