The Horizon isn't soft enough to be a play around board for me and the tail is too catchy. Im just too noobish riding freestyle. I want a bit more rocker and lift in the nose and tail and I realized I wanted a softer ride for this.

I'm kinda looking for that Goldilocks board that has directionality (some taper, a bigger nose with a good amount of rocker, a decent amount of setback if I need it, etc) while still being fun to butter, press, and mess around with while my girlfriend transitions from skiing her whole life to learning to snowboard. Love the Horizon's shape, but it's just way stiffer than I was anticipating for some reason (I thought this about the Passport, too). I also snagged a Navigator because it satisfies all that on paper, but it's the opposite: crazy soft. I have the Gril Master in my sights at this point.

Super narrow waist width, otherwise that sounds fun!

I seem to recall the original barracuda being a bit of a dud in the people's eyes (including mine), but many years later the board and its formline art seemed to have a bit of a resurgence.

But let's talk about the board on the other side of the malolo - the piranha
