Otto 57 is so fun for a non tapered deck. I just rode mine on Tuesday in 12-14” of blower and it crushed it for me all day long.

I own a CR64 one and rode it 3-4 times. Not my jam. It has a very dead, neutral feel compared to the Stealth 63 or TF57. Much less camber, much wider.

It was fun at higher speeds and if you have room to run on wide, not too steep runs.

Might feel different about the smaller sizes with more manageable waists. It was pretty wide for me (278 mm @ US size 10s / EU 44). Manageable, but not as fun. I had some mega stiff bindings on it to counteract the waist (Jones Apollos). I hated those bindings on narrower boards like my US Orbit-- which isn't even that narrow at 263 mm.

I just assumed of all the Koruas, it'd seemed like the one to get for upstate NY and New England conditions
