The place for snowboard nerds to discuss...

Picked up looks to be a brand new Banker still had the sticker on the base from a guy for cheap on the drive out west. Kids are off for spring break so going to give it go here at Sun Peaks for the next few days.

Shouldn't have sold my first year 159.

My wife surprised me with this after returning from a trip to Hakuba. We have a couple of friends there that started Koya Snowcraft recently. I'm pretty sure these are the only boards actually made in Hakuba. They use locally sourced wood for the cores. I got to ride the first proto when I was last there and it rips. That was a 157 with a different nose and tail shape. I believe this one is a 161. Definitely taking this to Valhalla in January.

Yep

Bought a Sims Fakie 157. First Sims I have in the quiver. First impression so far, it's light, medium stiff, like the shape. Can't wait to take it through the trees

thats a huge board comparing it to the kitchen ;P
