When I hear you stoked and peaking over a board it goes straight onto my wanted list. Thanks best reviews around concise to the point and you’ve actually ripped some turns on it!

[@justchillinnnn]

I rode this board with cartel x bindings at Whistler after riding Burton custom FV. I mainly just carve and like charging at high speeds and what a difference this board makes. Omg I love this board combined with Cartel X bindings. Don’t look else where if that’s also your way of riding. This review was spot on btw!!!

Found a great deal on last years deep fake at my local shop. The ride boots fit my foot best should i get lasso, lasso pro or insano? Gonna pair it with the C8 bindings.

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Get whichever boots fit the flex you want. I love the wrap liner in the Lasso Pro. The Lasso might be a little soft, and the Insano is a whole different level of stiffness that most people don't need unless you ride a lot. -TC

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Little more all mountain versatile, carves more nimble, slightly damper ride underfoot.

This board seems like the one thanks for all your reviews. Got a sizing question: 5ft 10", 183lbs, US size 11 boots. Which would be best 157W, 161W or 162?

Was so set on the Shadowban, then my want evolved to the Algorythm then I watched this review. I'm coming from an Amplid Souly Grail and wanted a board that could turn on a dime but could still carve and plow or skip through all the chunder. The Deep Fake is it, I absolutely love it. I'm also comparing it to my 2021 Nidecker Megalight and I feel so much more stable on the Deep Fake, it's the best board I've ever ridden. A true quiver of one to rule them all. I'm addicted to it.

[@yanushkowalsky1402]

Same here! I just ordered it as a single board quiver but I'm already looking around for a something more soft for lazy or park days. How many days did you ride it so far? What's the biggest weakness of the board in your opinion?

[@jamesneville8704]

Love this board so much, the review is spot on.

[@raiderfan2010]

Loving the upped production value. Really considering this for the freeride/pow versatility, weighing 197 and a sz 11 boot whats a good size and width to go with?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

I sit a 63w or whatever around that.

[@Wick.nilson]

I’ve got a yes greats and bataleon camel two. There’s def gap in my quiver for all mountain resort days that aren’t full on power days and I’m looking at the deep fake or BSOD. something that’ll feel solid at speed and can get through tight trees and off piste terrain, snap off of side hits etc. What would you choose between the two? I know either would work

​@@AngrySnowboarder damn, I didn't get a notification you answered this question here. Thanks for answering the same question on your other video too lmao. 🏆

[@MichaelLemus-g4e]

Hey Avran. I'm torn about what size to get, maybe you can help me. I'm 5'10" 160lb, size 11US boots. I'd like to get the '59 but I'm worried about my boots hanging over when I'm carving, which is one of the reasons I'm interested in this board. Big fan of the park but I already have a park board so I'd probably use this one for more freeriding type stuff - the occasional large jump, fast carving groomers/off-piste, tons of side hits, ect. If I do go wide I'm thinking the '61W would be nice for stability but I'm worried I might not be heavy enough to get the most out of it. '57W is also an option but then I start to worry if its too short for the high speeds and big air landings (30ft and up). Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

[@kuroro5819]

Hey there, Im not Avran but Ive been riding the 61W this season myself. Im 5"11 and also about 71-73kg. Can confirm that the 61W is a ton of fun even at our medium weight. Ive not riden the 57W tho, so sadly can't offer a comparison.

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Get the 57w and don't over think it.

[@tadbarker7082]

Looks great. Is it comparable to a Rome Ravine Select ? Stiffer/more focused ?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Yes

For agressive surfing on crud/choppy/uneven snow you find better fun with Deep Fake or Flagship (with its 3D)?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Deep Fake.

[@arjunlathi8670]

Hey Avran, been riding the mercury 2024 for abt a week now and like it. I got it because even though I'm a hard charger at heart and love straightlining chutes, riding out chop, and laying a trench, I wanted to get better at freestyle and switch. I've read every review about the deep fake thats on the internet and feel like its calling my name. I also have a Rossignol Sashimi that I take out on the deep days, but want something as a daily driver to charge hard and hit side hits with. I don't do rails/boxes but I like doing little ground tricks. Would you say I'm good sticking with the Merc or better off getting the deep fake?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

It's going to be stiffer and more suited for hard charging.

[@Origon09]

I’m 5’9” 170 what size should I get. And would this compliment my superpig? I ride a small 147 in the superpig

[@asdfghjkl41800]

Avran, very helpful review as always. Thanks! This or Standard uninc for a smoothe ride (reconstructed knee) that can handle steep, hard to icy piste? Two very different boards, I know, but both intriguing for different reasons…

[@AngrySnowboarder]

This is going to be a bit more damp which should help that knee. While this doesn't have any added edge tech I still think it grips superbly in harder snow.

[@asdfghjkl41800]

Awesome, thank you very much!

[@MaxColeman-v5x]

@@AngrySnowboarder is the alternator as quick as a carver/turner as the Deep Fake? I assume the Deep fake from your review is damper and more stable at high speeds? Both have excellent pop?

[@austinhall3955]

Appreciate the review as always! Deciding between this and the Algorythm for a more aggressive all mtn board and occasional park laps. Which would you go for? Would 157w or 161w be a better fit for 6'1 175lbs and 11.5 boot? Thanks!

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Since you want it more aggressive going bigger makes sense there. Better edge hold, more surface area, and better pow float.

[@austinhall3955]

@AngrySnowboarder thanks for the reply! You recommended c8 bindings, would c10s be too much for this board?

[@der_Luq]

I'm looking for a freeride deck to ad to my quiver. Coming from a 154 Korua Transition Finder (the older one) and searching for something more damp and stable at higher speeds. I love my tranny finder in good conditions, for the way that it turns and its energy, but I find it hard to keep up with skiers when the corduroy is gone and conditions aren't that great. I'm 6 foot, 180lbs (maybe a little to much for the korua), us 10 with one slightly bad knee. I only get to ride one or two weeks a year in Europe, so I don't get the chance to ride in pow that often and have to stay on groomers 90% of the time. Do you think a 157w DF would be a good choice? Also thinking of something like a K2 Passport or an amplid (pretty expensive though). Any advice?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Deep Fake over Passport all day.

[@der_Luq]

Thanks for your quick response! How do they compare to eachother? From what I heard/read, I would asume the DF can handle speed and uneven terrain better while the K2 offers more/easier pop... Where would you see the differences an how big are they? Sorry for all those questiones but I'm affraid I can't buy all the boards I geht hyped on from your Videos 😅

[@AngrySnowboarder]

There comes a point that you realize all the information you need is in front of you and you'll make a decision.

Hey Avran & TC! Thanks again for recommending the Ride Zero for my slim & tall younger brother towards the end of last season 🙏! Kid picked it up very quickly and has now stolen my 154 Excavator, so it's my turn lol. I'm 5'7\164lbs\size 9 boot, riding mostly at Palisades Tahoe. Bindings are Rome Katanas. Second board is a 154 Rome National. Looking for a damp, hard charger w/ great edge hold that feels stable at speeds, floats decent enough in up to 18 inches of snow, & will serve me well in steep terrain. Will the Deep Fake fit the bill? If so, what size do you recommend? Currently have the Deep Fake, Transition Finder, and Aviator 2.0 in mind, but I'm sure you could think of a few others that I haven't considered. Cheers 🤘

My previous board is a 155cm so I am biased towards that size… but open to suggestions!

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Sounds like you want a 55.

[@lizswan6596]

I just love your reviews and I know what you are saying is legit! I have been mulling over this board to replace my Capita Equalizer that is losing some of its flavor. I ride that in a 150 and I am so friggin happy they are offering this in a variety of sizes! I was wondering if I could get a beat on whether you think I should go with the 148 or the 151? I am 145lbs with size 9wmns and I am an advanced rider- freeride mostly. I think this is gonna push me over the edge on this buy. Thanks for the honest no BS reviews as always!

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Just understand this has WAY more carbon in it than the Equilizer and is going to be stiffer. I'd say the 48 is the safe bet but the 51 will give you more edge hold if you really want to charge.

[@lizswan6596]

@@AngrySnowboarder thanks! That is the advice I needed!

[@Porublue]

Hi, Avran! Love your reviews. I bought Ride Zero based on your review and it is my all-time favourite. I ride it on our small local hill and I am looking for a more aggressive mountain holiday board to add to my Zero. I need something to carve on the groomers, ride in the trees (Not in Japan, but there are forests in Sweden and Georgia :) ), and take some drops and side hits. I don't live in the mountains, so I am happy if I see 1 real powder day during the holiday. I just got rid of my Nitro Squash, which did not feel right. I hated its nose slapping when charging groomers and I had difficulties turning it in the trees. Probably I just did not figure out how to drive this swallowtail thing. :( Before that I had Salomon Derby, which was really nice, but I wanted something more aggressive. I know that those are sort of different, but based on your reviews I narrowed my choice down to Deepfake 159 and Korua Transition Finder 157 (maybe, also Rome StaleFish, but I like the all-black and all-white style of Ride and Korua). What would you advise? Or maybe something else, or in a different size? I am 5'8, 190 lbs, and my shoe size is 8.5. Riding for 20+ years, like going fast, getting into trees, and hitting the easiest features in the park :)

[@tbaart4428]

Nitro Alternator, Ride Deepfake, Korua Otto, Rome Ravine Select.

[@SpencerMcCune]

Hi Avran, Blew the edge out on my alchemist today and am wondering if this would be a good replacement. I’m 175 with a 9.5 boot. Looking for something a little bit more front footed and stiff than the alchemist, mine felt like it would buckle just outside of the front insert on big drops. Could have been a sizing issue, I was on the 157.

[@AngrySnowboarder]

This has some metal in it so it's going to feel a bit more girthy.

[@SpencerMcCune]

Cool, thanks

[@Jordys_World]

What’s good Angry, between this board and the Aeronaut at the moment. Would appreciate some input from the GOAT. East coast rider, a few trips out West every season with a Golden Orca and would love to find a better East coast option that is a step down from that. Like to ride fast and aggressive when the time arises but love to hit it all. Mostly hit natural features but taking a few laps through the park every session. More of a jump guy but still trying to progress in the jib department. Deep Fake or Aeronaut for the job?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Deep Fake

[@Jordys_World]

You got it boss 🫡

[@s2556]

I'm torn between this and the Berzerker both 157W. The new slimwall tech seems cool but the Berzerker sounds like it's more stiff with maybe better pop and more camber... Is this like a toned down/more approachable Berzerker with a slimwall or does it ride pretty close to it? My riding style is big cliff drops, natural hits, flips/spins, charging fast, trees, straight lines, chutes etc. usually in the whistler area. I am worried the Deep Fake is less stiff and a compromise for these more demanding situations compared to the tried and true Berzerker but that slimwall sounds interesting. What do you think between these two?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Sounds like you want a Berzerker

[@s2556]

I think I'm leaning that way... Would you say it's a bit more stiff than the deep fake? Both about the same in the pow? Thank you!@@AngrySnowboarder

[@AngrySnowboarder]

It's slightly stiffer and the Deep Fake is slightly better in pow only because the tail sinks a little easier.

[@raistlinmajere127]

Avran, This sounds like an amazing ride! That being said i thoroughly enjoyed my last season on my 22/23 Amplid Surfari…I just stopped riding everything else I owned once I got on the Amplid…..i carve and that’s what i seemed to really gravitate to. I am looking at adding to the quiver this year. Deep fake or Souly grail?….that is the question. This is my quandary….totally appreciate any input you have!

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Probably want to go Souly Grail.

[@VooDooJueJue]

I have both and the Souly Grail is a master carver. It's absolutely Everything Avran says it is in his review. My main problem was not being able to turn quickly. I was so used to ankle flexion turning, and the Souly Grail isn't having it. So when I hit the trees, I really struggled and had to throw my body weight to get those fast turns you need to maneuver in tight trees. It wasn't fun. So I bought the Deep Fake, which is a little more playful then the Amplid, but with similar characteristics. Couldn't be happier on the slopes.

[@jeremykistler7267]

Yo Angry… is the torsional flex better with the Deep Fake or Souly Grail? I’ve got some troubled knees, so ankle steering is a bit of a necessity, though still want a charger for the steep stuff. Thanks bro.

[@AngrySnowboarder]

It’s about the same honestly with the DF having a little more rebound in it.

[@jeremykistler7267]

@@AngrySnowboarder Heck yeah, good looking out. I’ll play it safe and buy em both

[@ikboardlife]

How would you compare Deepfake to the ravine select in terms of pop, dampness, carving, and float? Both look awesome. Saw a 157 w Deepfake for less than $300 at Evo Seattle.

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Deepfake is going to be a bit stiffer from the mid section back through the tail. It's also got a bit of different dampening to it due to the impact plates. On edge the grip is noticeably more aggressive on the DF over the RS. In pow is where the RS beats the DF as that 3d shape funnels snow out better. In terms of pop it's a personal preference thing but I think the RS is better only because it's easier to engage the rod and get it to rebound vs the Carbon array 5 in the DF.

[@ikboardlife]

@@AngrySnowboarder Thanks for the feedback and great reviews as always. I had a 2021 Niche Maelstrom and liked everything about it but the nose. That big nose tends to fold sometimes in soft messy snow. I got the Rome Ravine Select to hope for a similar ride but a more stable nose. #validation

[@LagmasterB]

Yo. Thinking about this Deep Fake in 55 or 59..or Berzerker in 56 or 59 or a K2 Alchemist. I got a Ravine Select 158 and I absolutely love it, I hardly ride anything else. Looking for something a touch more stable at speed and more responsive edge to edge. I ride everywhere but park. I like to charge, I like to slash. Side hits. Need pop. Carving meh. 5’7, 170, size 9 boot. Rome DOD bindings on everything. Could get a more responsive binding like Cleaver or Cartel X.

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Cartel x wont be more responsive. Probably want the Berzerker as it’s got the narrowest waist and those size 9’s will let it transfer energy the best.

⁠@@AngrySnowboarderperfect…I’m snagging a Berzerker. So given 5’7, 170, size 9 boots. I’m thinking 156. I want stability for charging, but I think the 159 may buck a little more when I am turning in uneven terrain. Sound about right?

[@LordMoFo]

I’m 5’6’’ 180 lbs with Size 10.5 boots. Would you recommend the 157, 157W, or 159?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

It's kind of your call on that. 57w if you want more width for stability and float. 57 if you're riding smaller hills and tighter trees. 59 for more edge hold and riding steeper terrain.

Keeps her on Ride boards which she has seriously gravitated towards despite the Twinpig not meeting her needs since she's not a teenage park rat anymore. We ride in dogshit conditions usually, Washington low altitude resort problems, this seems like it would do it all better.

[@AngrySnowboarder]

She have some sasquatch foot where she needs a volume shifted board?

[@moreproblematic]

​@@AngrySnowboarder Damn KZbin sucks and didn't tell em you replied lmfao. No, just stubborn to a fault. She ended up on a Superpig

[@mgennone]

Think this has enough flex/turn for tree runs?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Oh yeah it has more torsional give than the Berzerker in my opinion.

[@Slipknoted911]

How does this compare to the Aeronaut ? Less pop?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

It's a different pop engagement. This is going to be more damp underfoot and have a different edge engagement and feel when you're carving with it.

[@Slipknoted911]

@@AngrySnowboarderas long as it boosts to the moon, I'll figure how to engage it 😁

[@TitansManiac83]

Curious how the Deep Fake compares to the Alchemist...less aggressive or about the same?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Similar category different edge hold/engagement and flex points.

Have had heaps of fun on my Ride DH2 161W and currently the Superpig 154 @ 190-200lb Size 10-10.5 ... the Superpig is like a Sidewinder-Missle, just its happy at about 60% the speed i was going on the DH2, allthough its way faster edge to edge, and easier to generate grip. I'm missing boosting over rollers and going mach9 (don't quite do or need mach10), but would like to retain that lightning response and turninitiation, but don't want to eat shit all the time if i don't stick the landing 100%, also still like having fun on smaller sidehits ... Algorithm or Deepfake anything else? Thinking Gremlin, Amplid, Nidecker? ... something with slight Volume Shift like 157 and a licence to kill with a fun Attitude (you know Hans Landa from Inglorious Bastards? ... like the fine Art of being an Ashole)

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Algorhythm will be the closest to the DH2 but it's not volume shifted.

[@karloelhafen3475]

Did you like the Deepfake over the Capita BSOD?

[@thewraithize]

Does this have more pop than the Capita Mega Death?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Fairly similar, I'd say the Mega edges it out a little bit.

[@kellenmck]

Been riding a 155w shadowban for the last full season. Just picked up a 157w deepfake. Sizing is similar so I’m hoping it feels familiar in that way

[@AngrySnowboarder]

It's going to feel like a more stiffer Shadowban with a better exit out of turns due to the shaping, taper, and sidecut.

[@kellenmck]

@@AngrySnowboarder sounds like good news too me

what do u think about this board vs a kazu

That they're made by two different brands.

[@endritrama3212]

How does this compare to the BSOD? Is it stiffer and heavier due to the metal? Thanks you!

[@AngrySnowboarder]

It's about the same maybe a little heavier. Flexwise it's stiff but not unapproachable.

Bought 161W and it is amazing for uneven terrain (damping) and carving, but quality of DF's topsheet definitely sucks.

[@josefkrupa6605]

Appreciate your reviews brother!

[@mattkistner9863]

im curious why your recommended mainly workhorse free style bindings, for whats touted as a free ride board? is there more a a relaxed free ride board board more than hard charging? Im curious how this board would work with something more like the cleaver or the Atlas and if that level of response would over power the board or make it less approachable?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Because that's what I'd put on it. You are more than welcome to put whatever binding you want. Personal preference is a great thing.

[@keyrimjung5117]

Comparisons between the Deep Fake and the K2 Passport?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Deep Fake is stiffer and more snappy.

[@milwaukeeaterfu2190]

they call it 'extra camber' but fail to give up the effective edge specs on the website. should i bail on my K2 passport for one of these 'quaderific' side cutters or keep the passport?

Yooo Avran, tossing up between this and the shadowban, intermediate progreesing rider thats focusing on carving and jumps, what would you recommend?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

This is better at carving but the Shadowban is better for a progressing intermediate.

[@FrostyPumpernickle]

so its a better BSOD sounds like i need one

[@mattkistner9863]

it kinda sounds like its a little more mellow and less hard charging that the BSOD like maybe this is a 7 and the BSOD is an 8 for hard charging free ride.

[@JaredManganelli]

Looking to add the deep fake as another all mountain park board. Coming from a 155w shadowban at 5'10, 175. Looking at the 157w and wondering if you think this will feel like too much jumping up. You the man thanks for the review.

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Not enough of a jump up

[@Uphill_Pursuit]

Quick size check? I’m 160lbs 5’11 been riding for 20 years thinking 159 on this? I typically go for 157s but a lot of boards are putting the wide sizes on the 57s which I don’t need with size 9 boots. For reference I have a slightly sized down Mega Merc at 155 so that I can be a little lazier about loading up the pop, and have been happy in the past with 153 orca, and 158 niche story.

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Get the 59.

How would you compare it to the Burton Custom?

[@ryanweddle6745]

The Deepfake is more directional, stiffer and leans freeride. The Burton Custom is a freestyle twin that can be ridden all mountain.

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Why would I compare it to a mediocre board?

not disappointed by the response to this question lol

What are the differences between this chap and the Algorythm?

This has metal in it and taper are the biggest ones. Essentially the Deep Fake is the more directional version of the Algorhythm.

[@rjpietraszewski7133]

This is one of the most positive reviews i've seen you give! I wonder why this board isn't spoke about more often. Do you have any similar boards you recommend? Currently looking at the Mercury and Custom Camber for this type of icy/choppy do it all riding. Also, can this board hit the park? It does look quite set back on the tail and the flex makes goofy seem near impossible?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Did you even watch this review? Like what the fuck.

[@TheFalsecrack]

Sick review! What would you say are the major differences between the deepfake and the bzerker?
