Just showed up and she's nearly mint . Not even a single chip on the topsheet, and the base still has its factory structure in almost perfect shape minus one faint scratch. Alllllmost a wall hanger but I wanna shred it.

Or do they flatten quickly after a few days riding? I've got last year's DOA 153W here that doesn't seem to have much riding time on it based on condition, and if you can tell from the crappy pic it's not exactly a very cambered board. Say 2mm max. The 2019 Mercury 157 in my basement is similar, super low camber (granted it's older and has way more riding on it) but I seem to remember the same with a nearly new 2020 Mercury 155, it was super noticeable compared to a 2019 Salomon Assassin 156. The Salomon had noticeably more camber, even though it was an easier flexing board by any metric.

If I snag a new Kazu online, will it show up and be nearly flat? I'll have to start a separate thread about whether or not that matters...

Yes.

Lol, I noticed the same thing a few weeks back. No idea how much it actually matters, except to say the boards I've liked the most recently in turn-feeling definitely trend heavier camber (at least 4-5 mm, probably more like 7 on Koruas).

kimchi wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 11:42 pm Irrelevant since I won't buy a new board for years, but I'm finding myself eyeing the current BSOD shape. Shape looks real promising, graphic is always sick on that board, and I've been hyped on Capita since listening to Blue Montgomery's Bomb Hole episode (probably my all-time favorite).
