Is anyone aside from Warren at easy rider selling these in North America anymore? Most of places that stocked them the past few seasons seem like they’ve stopped carrying them. Didn’t see any at mountain air in sb (no web presence) recently either.

Call up Tahoe Sports Hub in Truckee. Their main proponent (Kenny) is no longer the buyer and moved to part time a few years back. They still stocked them as of last season, but not sure if they made an order this year.

I know [this shop](https://www.switchskateandsnow.com/) in Delaware of all places still had them as of last season, I see someone affiliated (owner?) selling the odd Moss on Snowboard Trader every now and then.

I thought I saw this years Moss on Mountain Air’s social media.
I’m in Southern California and only recently found out they carry moss, I have bought from Tahoe Sports Hub In the past.

Just hit the website the day i posted it.

@Lotechpeter mountain air is solid but basically zero advertising. Plus you can hit the beach house next door at the same time

Anyways good to see they are still around and just hitting the shelves late

I've talked about this ad nauseum in EZL 4.0, but since that's lost to the ether, I've ridden and owned a bunch of Moss boards and really like them. Yes they're expensive, no they're not especially versatile (at least for Tahoe conditions), but on the right day they are a revelation and open up completely unique feelings on the mountain I've never been able to replicate on Western boards. Some times I don't even like "unique" (I never quite got the hang of the Wingswallows 149).

I owned a PQ54, which I really enjoyed but ultimately was a tiny bit short for me. I could get a PQ62, but it has a much more "normal" waist (I think 258 mm). Perfect would be a ~158 with a fatter waist.

Stupidly when a shop messed up tuning that board (they over grinded and took out the 3D concave) they let me swap for a Wingswallow 49. That board stood up to my 210 lbs better than it had any right to, but I still could never fully commit to that edge while going fast.

I ultimately settled on a Swallow 162, which is an S-tier pow board and also fun as fuck on groomers. It's also one of the few boards in the line I'd feel comfortable ripping in more technical terrain, most those boards are optimized for mellower terrain (as you'd expect from Japanese brands). Not fun on ice, but I wouldn't expect it to be.

I got this sick photo of myself it at Baldface this past January. I didn't ride away from this-- thought I had a supportive wind-lip and the entire thing just collapsed on me 3-4 meters sooner than I expected to drop --but exploding that powder pile on this board looks cool AF

Swallow killed it on that trip and despite having access to... literally hundreds of different boards at the Baldface demo room, I mostly rode with my Swallow (other than putzing around a bit on the Nitro Cannon 203 because i had to lol).

I'm lichen this thread

Someone who has ridden them all.. let's get a rundown!
