Carpet boarding ain’t riding but 6/10 feels pretty spot on. Out of wrapper and I’m casually holding hip high tail presses in the basement. Doesn’t feel that gnarly torsionally.

I should know better than to trust Angry Snowboarder reviews but he was comparing it to a K2 Alchemist lmao. This is definitely softer than my Instrument and not even in the same neighborhood as the Orbit. If anything I’m worried it’ll break in too soft after a couple seasons.
Capitas always seem to run on the soft side. Me likey.

Taka always looked so good to me, I just wished it had a bigger sidecut.

The Taka "E.P." has a 8-10m variable sidecut… big enough? :)

I actually looked at that too, but heard it's even softer than the normal Taka in the nose, maybe slightly stiffer in the tail? Sounds like a must demo for me, I don't get to ride dreamy conditions as much as I'd like and I wonder how they do in the chop...
