The Official quiver thread

I'm in the eyes for Otto clan too....

I also wish for a longer Banker. So versatile shape for what I do, but the 159 is in the park board lengths for me. Albeit stiffer (1st year Banker).

But I'm still happy with it.

The Otto, Now, AK clan grows stronger in numbers every day.

my year 2 Banker is still plenty stiff as well. a 62+ would be killer for bigger terrain for me, but the 59 holds up just fine for midwest charging for me.

Don’t go K2…. There are okay factories in China and then there are bad factories in China.. The rumors around the K2 owned factory in China is bad, very, very bad. I’m talking wages and human rights, not quality.

Plenty of other black bases out there.

Man, hopefully no truth to it cos I absolutely love my K2 Passport. First time I've ever considered doubling up as a back up, in case they tweak it. And not feeling W24 graphic lol.

end of the season family photo (did a nicer one outside with everyone still mounted on my film camera, hopefully i’ll get that developed soon).

some new pickups from the shop closing, gonna probably do some retirements onto the wall this summer, maybe lineup a trade or two (would love to turn the Terrain Wrecker into a Hyper).

Finally, a place where I am enabled in my quiver addiction rather than persuaded to do dumb shit like save money

^I hear ya homie. Here's essentially the core rotation I had this year, save for my park board (endeavor BOD) and a couple of experiments (RDM skinny, HPS) that weren't up to par with these three.

These all get MVPs in my book, with the leaderboard taking a very close third place. The cadet and the pencil are far and away the GOATS for me this year. Got 52 days in - a new personal record for me.

Damn I need to get the boys all together for a quiver family picture in here.

Still perpetually on the hunt for my ideal DD floaty-freeride board with carving dna... seemingly a very common type of board these days, but hard to find one with all the right "math." Broken record, but virtually just want the orbit 57 with cadet tip & tail outside contacts.

Mid 160s
Stiff 8/10
125-130 edge
260 waist or so
Mid 8 sidecut
Camber or a little early rise
Enough tail kick
Mild taper ~5-10mm

Alchemist 64W is close, but not actually as directional as it seems, and just like a bit larger radius/etc. Some Koruas are kinda close too, but don't want the heavy taper or quite that wide of waist, otherwise I'd already have one. Even thought about revisiting the hovercraft, but not a fan of spoon, Jones, or the flat tail. Tur Buteo has been recommended too, but I'd want the 62 - apprehensive about the waist and DDing a 9.5 radius

Orbit will continue to be a love of mine, just want a more powdery nose shape & overall longer length.. otherwise the "math" is right on. Next year's transmission is on the want list.

Not sure if you have checked out the Weston Ridgeline 162CM I have that deck and its what your describing.
