Agree! The most legit and on point. But 10k of the right people who really connect with what they are talking about, seems better than 100k idly scrolling! This might sound a bit gatekeepe-y, but there's probably an amount of snowboarding you need to go through to really appreciate this content, and I wonder how many k of those there are? Meaningful micro influence to that group probably translates into more board sales than broader but shallower influence...

I just got back from riding 2 weeks in Argentina, at Las Leñas, and the 2025 Aeronaut smashed the shit out of the place. Definitely the fastest guy on the mountain in every condition from, icy groomers, upper mountain freshies, couple feet of Pow, mid mountain chunder, and bombed out spring slush. The Aeronaut did no wrong. None. I also rode the 2024 Orca a bunch, which was surfy and fun to carve, but was slightly heavy…maybe it was the bent metals, debating putting some falcors on that to see if it lightens it up a little. Taking both to Japan in January. That Redux Lost board looks sick! And that Burton Grille master looks rad too!

I got one last year, and it is definitely not the type of board to bite you in the ass if you get lazy. It's incredibly fun and playful, but can still blast surprisingly fast.

I started snowboarding in 1988, and always bought new equipment every year. Bought the 161 Surfari 2 seasons ago. Paired it with Atlas bindings. And cannot find a reason to try anything else right now. It ruined my "quiver" the board is forgiving for casual cruising yet crushes the groomers when you get aggressive. Absorbs crud and chop like a champ. My groomer and pow boards are gathering dust now.

It’s interesting to hear YOU define freeride to include on-piste. I’m not arguing, but definitions are shifting! It seems like powder boards shifted this segment towards all mountain. I’m curious if Freecarve will push it back? Will it just be hard charging? It’s also refreshing to hear that you guys push the bindings back on the board, and not just for pow. I’ve always felt like I was doing a disservice to the board designer/engineer.

Can I ask for some sizing advice on the Capita BSBOD? I am 187 cm tall ~6’2” and wear a US10-10.5, I weigh 82-83 kg ~180-185 pounds. I mostly just carve around at the resort and hit whatever pockets of untouched snow and whatever side hits, drops, and natural lips I can find. And of course the park a bit, but never the rails or boxes. What size should I go for. Seems like I should go for the 162. But I guess the 159 should work as well (?). Ps. Rode the Jones Stratos 162 last season.

I can offer a peer experience: I'm on a 2021 version of BSOD and quite close to your height/weight (188cm, 78kg, us 11,5). I have a 161w and my riding style is quite close to what you describe. So I would go for 162 or 161w in your shoes. And if you enjoyed 162 Stratos, I'd definately go for similar size on BSOD based on my experiences with Jones boards. Maybe even lean towards 161w for better carving performance and float.

Just got the Korua TF 160. Its a beast. 278mm waist. US size 12s 190lbs and 6,3 so should be fun. Interested to see how the china manufactured board runs. Have you guys tried the 160?

Let me know how you like the 160! I’m basically the same specs as you and wish I had scooped the 160 over the 157, or maybe a plus model. Still really enjoy the 157, but it doesn’t spring out of a carve well with my specs

Will let you know. Just got the board delivered yesterday. Its a big boy. Looks huge in the flesh. Heavy too. That jump in width aint no joke. KORUA recommend the 160 for me so went with it. Pairing it with flux xf bindings. Can't wait to make some trenches! ​@Scliff

Thanks for the video. Just a question regarding stance positioning on a Gremlin. Do you think for resort riding the back foot should be all the way back or choose to centre the back foot and measure forward from there? TIA

Hoping you guys could point me in the right direction. Transition Finder 57 vs 60? 190 lbs, 6ft tall, size 10.5 boot riding mostly at Snowbird. Would the 160 feel too cumbersome? Much appreciated

Base this decision on what percentage of Pow riding vs " on piste" Runs with variable conditions. You fit either but that would be the deciding point!

Good question - we lean the Cafe to more carving or banked slalom ,...and the Pintonic is a fav of the guides we know around here who ride 95% deep pow .....T-Finder falls into the middle of that!

I've been riding a Lib Tech Stump Ape (157) for the past few seasons and am looking for a nice transition to something else now that the Stump Ape is gone for 2025. I'm 6'2", 215lbs, 12 boots, and intermediate to advanced up at Whistler Blackcomb...not too much park, but sometimes, and all over the mountains most days. A few suggestions?

koruas are so wide you could get a standard size otto which would handle freestyle stuff a little better (compared to the t finder) but if you like volume shifted boards i personally think that Ride's Pig line does it really really well.
