It's crazy for me to think but this might be the whole grail of what I've been searching for the last few seasons. Never thought it would come from this brand.

I’ve had my eye on that one. Keep us posted on how it rides!

Were is Public made?

The specs on that 160 look to be on point (for me anyway). My local dudes carry this brand but I'm thoroughly unfamiliar with them.

It rips. Best board ive ridden in a long time

Everyone I talked to that rode it at Interlude said the same thing. The specs on this are exactly what I would make my dream board. As long as the flex is what I'm looking for, which I have been lead to believe it is, I will be fucking stoked.

And it's not a ski brand and it's actually snowboarder owned. So double stoked.

I feel torn between a Research and the k2 Almanac.

Small brand, snowboarder owned, pure snowboard brand.

Multi National Venture Capitalist Group that slings baked goods, profits off of people’s sickness, disease, cancer and clinical trials. They have their fingers in a lot more than that, but seem to really be specialized and divested in profiting off of society’s sickness and diseases.

hard choice?

Hehe bought the 160 research

You should get familiar. The Dispute (directional twin) not too stiff but not soft + the research is a perfect 2 board quiver (at least it is for me)

The brand and art direction are far better than anything else the industry is offering right now to add to the fact that their boards rip and its rider owned
