Ordered

I was also looking in to the Sick Stick, in this days

too bad that in my (small) sizes the sidecut is too tight

Ahh bummer. The 159 specs are absolutely perfect for me: 260ww, 10mm taper, 7.8m sidecut.

I picked the 163... I have high hopes for it.

7m for the 153.

the next size up is too wide for me

(still, I'm interested... I have a soft spot for Salomon boards)

Me too. My First Call was one of my favorite boards. Have always regretted selling it.

I had the First Call in 151 and 162. I think this new Sickstick is what was missing from the First Call.

My first beginner board was a Salomon Pulse 152.

Then: Second year S8, 23/24 S8, both 51, and last Ultimate Ride 53 non tapered incarnation (on paper, width and sidecut-wise, this version is perfect for me). In the last winter I didn't have the balls to ride the UR

Yeah, they make great boards. I've had a few:

First Call 151
Multiple Huck Knife 156 wides
Super 8 157
Dancehaul 152
Craft 157w

And now the new Sickstick 159 and a used Highpath 159 on the way.

I struggle with throwing money at ski board brands, but I just like Salomon. Grabbed some new Holograms for these new decks, too.

Lately I'm more focused on soft boards. I like what Lars says but I add tolerance for mistakes in tricks and jumps
