Burton Con Artist 152 (2013 OG) vs Fishcuit 150

[JU87G]

Hi All,

I'm looking for feedback on these 2 old boards. I have the chance to buy either (or both) and would be appreciative of any riding impressions that members here might have. I know the Con Artist was a fave on this board years ago but unfortunately I'm unable to search the archives.

For reference, I ride mostly in Japan in trees, pow and groomers. My current quiver consists of a Burton Fish 156 (camber), a Gentemstick Mantaray 154 and a K2 Bottle Rocket 152.

The K2 does surprisingly well in pow for my weight (150lbs) and I guess I'm looking for something shortish with better pow performance which is still playful. I've also considered getting a K2 Party Platter or Salomon Dancehaul for this purpose.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

To me the fish compared to the fishcuit isn't going to scratch the playful itch. Of the two B boards the CA is going to be better for that and probably fit a spot in your 'quiver' for the playful tree / mid-pow / side hitter better.

The K2 is going to float great because of the volume but that will also make it feel less responsive compared to the others. Comparatively the Salomon is less playful than the CA, but the flipside is it's more stable at high speeds and 'aggressive'.

With your weight variable, looking for playful all around, I'd say of these options the CA may be worth giving a try.

I would also say CA between the two. It's a little ripper that does great everywhere, promotes more all-around playful riding because it's not quite as specific as the fish, more planted on groomers and fun for sidehits & other freestyle. I've been a huge fish fan for a long time and would often ride them for everything, but the CA can easily be a real DD that crushes powder.

Fishcuit is rad though. It's like a pow-skateboard version of the fish, still really fun on groomers, but doesn't give the same all-around playing & ripping feeling as the CA.

If it was the 148 Fishcuit with full channel I would get that for sure, but they should ride the same anyways.
