The camber is a bit mellower than I was expecting? The middle dip doesn't dip super far down or anything, it basically looks flat, but the camber towards the tip and tail isn't particularly high. There's likely Mervariance™ at play here. And the ol' hand flexometer definitely puts it into the medium category, as noted by others here it's not the burly flex that maybe the older ones had.

@Shredder I'm 5'8" and 150 lbs or so. I honestly wish they made a 157, but that's just me getting in my own head about things. @Kevington has compared riding a 155 and 159.

The mag seems to start somewhere behind the front foot but before the waist. I can't capture it with my phone camera, but the info sticker here on the base is pretty much aligned with the front inserts.

This Î, it's a preproduction board with the tech shown. Got it at a K2 garage sale here in Sweden.

All this talk about Alek made me grab his only? pro model, Rome Ravine 155.

That Ravine shape was really good. I would’ve loved a “Select” version of that board, now I kinda want to hunt down a first gen one again. I went through so much trouble finding a Syndicate version (always sweated the syndicate bases, thanks Spenser) and then ended up selling it during Covid before I could ride it.

Yeah I wish I had one of those first gens before they did the 3D nose.

Did you cop that off freeride.se? I was very close to buying it. I've ridden that board for a day and it is a lot of fun. Comically soft though. Like @michaelangelo says, a Select version would be great. The shape is so much more appealing to me than the current version.
