SteelyD looks a bit duprazing, maybe that's why?

Yeah I believe it is a one and done. Doughboy this year.
It always surprises me how out of shape he looks for how hard he rips. Everytime I pack on the weight I ride a ton worse.
Thank you for the feedback. Just curious on size. I’m about 165 lbs. I just bought the 156cm. Maybe I should have gone 159? Usually I’m riding 155 aeronautGammalteknologi wrote: ↑Sat Oct 12, 2024 11:30 amYeah I have it in 156. It has a middle of the road flex . Rides short . Feels damped but still gives u feedback what's underneath. Floats great for its size .Wish I had gotten the 159.
Really like it though
It's not quite this simple, but the aeronaut has significantly more edge than the rig. 55 aero is 121cm (a lot for the overall length), rig 56 is only 103. Pretty typical for Mervin these days. You will have noticeably less edge, but more kick on each end, particularly the nose, so it should float better and feel more maneuverable. Aero will bite groomers and firm snow better. I don't think it's a "size up on the rig because of edge" thing, but you could if you wanted, and then it would be a little bit wider as well. They could be used the same way, but have some key differences.Paidingum wrote: ↑Sat Oct 12, 2024 1:00 pmThank you for the feedback. Just curious on size. I’m about 165 lbs. I just bought the 156cm.

Weird comment but ok… as a general rule the bar isn’t set super high for snowboarders, the workouts most of the pros do are odd at best, also for those who take their sport seriously I can’t imagine anyone being more of an example of an actual professional athlete then Travis, also it’s the off season he’s probably chilling on his boat.
