Didn't Line start out as a skiblade/ snowblade company? I could be wrong

[C.Fuzzy]

I think I'm at the point where to me the hate towards Line is a bit silly.

We're 'for' snowboarding and snowboarders, but only on our terms?

What are those terms?

Everytime we have this discussion there's an exception granted somewhere, and not somewhere else.

We had this discussion again a few weeks back and it just occurred to me that there are levels of 'core' but the punk ethos that continues to rage in the sport is much more 'anti' something than it is 'pro' something.

Just like vegans can't just eat veggies and shut the fuck up about it and live their life happily and quietly being who they are. What they really want is to rage and spew anti-meat to claim some moral high ground.

There's nothing more snowboarding than a ski company making a snowboard because their team would rather snowboard when they're not skiing for money.

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.

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)

double checked the Sick Stick specs.
They are all wrong for me, except the width

I ordered one
(20% off)

Arrived.
It's really a thing of beauty.
If I don't like it, I think it will end on a wall.
Flexwise seems like my 16/17 Super 8 (I have a lot of days on it), mediumish flex. But seems very poppy.
Stiffer tail and nose, as Salomon says.
