for reference, I'm a US 10.5 (EU 44) in L Atlas, and I push the heelcup into the smallest setting, and would still have room to adjust the straps longer if needed.
Thanks buddy, I’ll check. But I’d ride more than 100+ days per season and everything in these options are always ok ;)

no worries!

I think I mentioned it on here when it happened, but Benny Milam (who's been riding Union's for probably 10 years and definitely gone up a boot size or two since starting) walked up to me in the lot after a spring sesh at Trollhaugen and asked me about adjusting heelcups after noticing mine were all pulled in.

just goes to show you can still rip and feel good even if your gear isn't 100% proper. but i bet it'll feel wayyyyy nicer with those heels pulled in a notch.
midwest is best

dude one of the best weekends of my personal riding was on a Burton parkitect with unions - front foot was at 0 on the heelcup and back foot was on 2 😅

Handled a Mega Merc 165W in person. Holy sheet that thing is unbelievably light period, much less for a board that size. Felt comparable or maybe lighter than the Mercury 159 next to it.

I am generally deeply skeptical of getting bucked around on ultralight boards but Fawcett raving about it on the Riders Lounge has me intrigued.

I demoed a Mega Death 159 last year and got it into some chop and never felt like I was being bucked around at all. Rode it back to back with my BSOD and preferred the MD by a country mile.

Must have been a expensive demo ride...

Not yet. I figured I had one more year out of my BSOD. Plus, this years MD is ugly.

Anyone have experience on the old camber dominant Kazus and the ones with the new camber profile? I love my Kazus with the camber running through to the tail and have been on my Aeronaut lately, but curious how the newer camber profile stacks up. Debating picking up one next season.
