The 2025 Rome Stale Fish Snowboard Review

[@leer2321]

Grats on 50k!

[@ianmichael9224]

It's crazy how many people I've seen that have been riding for 10 plus years and still skid all their turns and never carve loll

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Advanced experts if you ask them.

[@timjanisch9918]

Thanks for the review. I get to try mine on Saturday, but validated.

[@sideasoundlab]

Can't wait to try mine !

[@jaimeronan]

Like other reviews I've seen, it sounds like a board for me. I wish I could try it.

[@Ghetto_Bird]

I'd love to get a ride on this board one day

[@JB-uw1pu]

Rare to hear you say that a board doesn't sacrifice its liveliness with its dampness. Always a major tradeoff, and always hunting the board with massive pop that isnt going to kill my legs on the afternoon pow bump chunder runs. I have the OG Stale Fish, but the new version looks much more versatile

[@maitogai1995]

I love boards that get progressively stiFF

[@velvetspoons]

I want a stiff trad camber park board.. reco's??

[@abrammorton2372]

Are there any noticeable differences between the Bataleon Astro full and Rome cleaver besides cleaver being a bit stiffer, and the Astro being more damp? I Heard that Astro has a better heel strap but their high back isn’t as premium, and they don’t have carbon in the footbed like the cleaver. Anything else I’m missing? Is the cleaver worth the extra $100 for more precise carving and maneuverability?

[@DenisEneotescu]

Is the ravine more playful? How does it compare to it?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

It's a little more playful and carves differently.

[@sideasoundlab]

In the end, do you prefer this version or any previous one ?

[@gradystanley5812]

What’s the best freestyle camber board that’s in the 400-500$ range

[@9504212]

I was weighing up getting one of these vs a K2 Excavator. Thinking both could be decent in Pow and carving... i see theyre not on comparable boards list though, are they not that similar?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

no.

I'm a linebacker type 6' 2" 250 plus pounds. Been riding a Solomon super 8 for the last 2 years and was looking for something different. I was looking at the super pig and the stalefish. Bought the stale fish and absolutely love this board.

[@ballingbean]

I'm assuming you got a 160

[@poster3452]

@ballingbean yeah.

[@ballingbean]

@@poster3452 I'm 230lbs so I was leaning towards the 160

[@poster3452]

@@ballingbean my setup. 160 ride c-9 lashed boots. The first thing I noticed was that it felt slow edge to edge at first. After a few runs and learning the feel, it's no different than any other board, just an adjustment to the board. I am in the PNW and gravitate towards tree runs and off trail, no park, I am older and started boarding in 1995. Don't let the people tell you it's slow edge to edge, it's not slow once you get the feel, tight quick turns, slashing in the trees with my teenage sons, mellow groomers with my daughters, to my style, it's a one board quiver, my super 8 may not see the light of day. Fyi, this board is Poppy and live but dead quiet under foot. Sorry about the book.
