Hoping to grab mine asap. Milo Auburns had every other size stocked since July, but no 161s yet.

I saw Capita JUST made the 161s available through their website, so I expect I’ll have it soon.

Haha I'd normally agree with you, but they packed 126 cm effective edge onto it. I expect it'll ride a hair bigger than a typical 161.

Haha, that's fair. A hair more than orbit 57 which has become my baseline/minimum.

Aeronaut 161s are landing. Mine arrived at the Milo Auburn, @pow_hnd texted me to say Milo SLC has them in stock.

I'm in Mammoth for a wedding. Swung by Wave Rave to gawk at the Aero in person. They didn't get their 161s yet, so just handled the 59.

Healthy camber for a modern deck. I'd estimate at least 5 mm. Flat-ish camber was my biggest concern with the board, but not so worried anymore.

Flex feels much burlier than a 6/10. I'd call it more like 7.5.

I'm excited for this deck. Everything's shaping up for it be a good fit for me. Even liked the graphic better in person. The artwork between the feet pops and the mostly white top sheet gives Korua-esque blank canvas opportunities. Only real major changed I'd make is all black, no diecut base, but c'est la vie.
