Maybe I'll end up with the updated 57 some time, but pin tonic 64 might be my #1 now. I'd love to be able to try any of them first - maybe I can find a demo in Montana.

Orbit 157 was rad but was too much for me on out-of-shape legs tired from ripping fast and hard all morning. Just a hair too gnarly for me to ride all day as my daily driver. My legs could definitely handle a TF 157 all day, and too soft an everyday driver. I'd size up to at LEAST 160, maybe even 163 on a TF.

My guess is that a bigger TF means wider waist, so a 160+ would probably have a 276-278ww if it followed the rest of the Korua line.

I hope not. They only seem to go north of 270+ on the Cafe Racer mold (CR 159, Dart 156, and Pin Tonic 164 are all identical shape-wise between contact points). My old Stealth 163 was same basic shape as an OG TF 157 with the 269 waist and more edge... hell, it was basically a TF 165 with a notch tail. If I could ride that same board without feeling terrified of riding switch, I'd have just kept it.

If they made just extended the current TF 157 mold with ~123-125 cm of edge, I'd be golden.

Maybe you have already discussed this but Otto 161?
