rode my transition finder on saturday after not having been on it in quite a while, mostly been on the banked country. bluebird soft day at vail, perfect for railing turns and hitting every transition i could find in sight. what a great board

^ can't remember exactly, but I think 23 might have been the first model year with reduced taper

Decided to take this thing for a spin today

Edit: turns out pencil was the perfect choice. Nice dump of thick stuff overnight on the upper mountain, best (almost only?) snow we've had in a month. As expected, surfy/slashy ride of OG TF, but better pow shape. I like the deep reach, but this just feels more fun. Reminds me of being on the fish with its supreme float and maneuverability, but more versatile. It stays in the quiver.

Canada stole it. We'll get it back when we annex it and ride their mooseses in victory.

Also, write on the shipping form 'Never Summer' or something so no one wants it. If you write Korua in there, it's a 50/50 at best.

No kidding. Big duh. Best "normal length" pow board experience I've had since I used to ride the fish all the time.

Updated TF was a great DD, but I prefer others more. If I'm going to have one korua, this is the winner

It’s interesting how we both feel that way, with you in AK and me in flat-ass Ontario.
