Yeah would love it if there was something in between. ideally I’d love something of similar length to my resort board. But happy to ride what they recommend without it being a boat. I feel the 157 would be too much for me, 150 will be nice and nimble and good in trees and tight terrain.
What’s your daily right now?
55 Capita Mega Merc.

Theres a guy selling a used Endeavour Patrol 156 on a FB group here in Oz with Medium Spark Arc Bindings, G3 skins etc $1300aud ($900 USD) but he's reluctant to post. It's seen around 10 days use and condition seems ok. They rate that for 54-77kg range.

Or i've been offered a D-Day 155 Skylar Holgate from a guy on DMQ, but details are scant.... I cant find anything about them, gone out of business?
Skip the D-day. Endeavor Patrol, maybe.

I really can say with confidence though, that the TF150 split would suit your size well. I tour with a guy your size and he rides the 150 and loves it.

No matter what deck you get, I suggest one with taper. It makes splitting much more enjoyable and easier on your legs, remember you won’t have your resort legs. You’ll have split up to the top and that taper and long as nose will make the down much easier on those tired legs.

Korua has the TF150 in stock and it ships to you in two days.

Do they ship from Europe or US as shipping could take a while. There is a Snowboard shop in the next state down from me that has the 150 in stock now. Price is typically more here due to exchange rates (AUD vs USD) however they are offering a good sales discount at the moment so would be more on par with the Korua Website buy price. I've got about 4-5 weeks until next trip is likely so want something before then ;)

They ship from Europe. But all decks ship two day world express UPS. I’ve always gotten my decks within 5 days at the latest. ( because customs always holds the shipment up for a day or so )

No one stocks them in Utah or do you find it easier to buy direct? My only issue with that is we get stung for import duties. If I order direct it’s likely going to end up more $ than buying here.

No. They have different sidecut, different taper, different WW, etc, etc.

BUT, it is almost an OG Tranny Finder 57 with a different nose and tail. The only difference in specs is the EE, only 1cm and running length 1cm.

Here you can see how similar they are. The Pin Tonic just has a bit more gentle rise in the nose ( why the extra EE and RL ) and then more nose and tail, for a bit more surface area.

This is for the OG only. The "new" Transition Finder" has different specs and is not the same.

Dog food bowl also by Korua?

Thanks! That’s really helpful. So I guess the 172 pintonic is almost the elusive 16n TF.
