Really damp and plowed through all the early season crusty shit snow like it was nothing. My gripe is that in the context of a daily, I just couldn't butter the thing and it was generally too stiff to fuck around on/hit smaller side hits/get slashy/etc. I think the 159w is too much board for me, but I can't go to the 157 because it's too narrow for my 11s. If the 157 had like a 260 waist it'd be perfect. I also think I just like mid-flexing boards as I get older, go slower, and fuck around more these days. Still sick, though, and I totally get the hype for this board.

Nice, yeah I've glanced at the Instrument but might need to give it a second look now. I'm realizing that a K2 7/10 is like a Capita 9/10 haha. The nose-to-tail carbon stringers in the Passport probably have something to do with it as well.

Regular Super 8 should be good, You bought the Pro and send it back, right?

More in the SK range, a little more reactive if anything. Great board and def aligns even more with what you're looking for, as per your previous msg. Def worth trying.
