Stranda Snowboards

[Vanni]

I don't know if it was posted in previous EL incarnations, but this Stranda talk between Mats and Lars is really interesting.
A lot of nerd stuff about sidecuts, core thickness, effective edge, etc.

highly suggested:



I usually can feel differencies in sidecut radius, too.
It's one of the main things I look at specs, when I want to buy a new board (that and the width, mainly)

Short sidecut radii are too limiting imo.

i generally agree, until i'm with the family. then its super fun to make short deep turns behind them while they figure things out. ratio of distance traveled to vertical goes way up [max horizontal ] . i have some boards for riding with them and a separate set to go my full speed [ not that much faster anymore].

No clue how to embed, but Easy Rider posted on their Insta that they now carry Stranda. I'll have to take a look see next time I'm in the city. The Shorty intrigues me the most, but I'd love a smaller size than 159.

They are easyturning longboards, so supposed to size up. There’s a womens version though, if your feet/weight match.

feet/weight/ego match

the eagle has landed. the shorty feels like what i was looking for. nuance of the japanese guys with enough edge to hold a bigger fella. wish he made more models in wide

What are your stats, and what boards/sizes do you normally ride?

The design approach with Stranda as mentioned is for longer boards and more edge, but of course you can totally ride them in a more traditional size.

To be clear, their approach with sizing isn’t because the boards ride small or have a shorter edge, so you “can” size up. That makes me think of things like dupraz where a 170-something is really like a 160 with a bunch of extra nose. Same for the nitro cannon.

The Shorty has plentiful edge per size, but that’s a good thing. The sidecut and overall temperament is that of a freeride board rather than a powder wigglestick, but it’s absolutely not a hard board to ride. Not demanding, just very stable and smooth. That’s the thing with a well-designed board on the longer side, none of the “fears“ that a lot of people have with bigger boards are there.

Agree. In general the slower you go, the shorter the sidecut radius you want to keep things flowy.

theres plenty of fun to be had in low angle terrain if properly equipped

is there an easy way to get the audio out of this? this would be a good podcast episode but i dont have a good way to listen to over an hour of something through ig

Are you on your phone? If you have time to leave it open it on a computer, that would work, or vice versa. Too bad it doesn’t keep playing in a background tab on a computer. If you still have trouble I can ask Lars or try to come up with something
