Note on the Deep thinker: if you get a wide model it floats like a true powder board while still having the versatility of a normal width, personally my go to for every condition

@danielm484911 ай бұрын
Got the Ravine and the Katana bindings last year for riding in BC at Whitewater. Did 60+ days on it, and the thing rips. I can't imagine a better board to hit the pow, pistes, and park in the same day. Usually I look to get a new board every two seasons or something, but I don't think I'll ever ditch this thing!

My favorite freeride board has to be the lib tech skunk ape... it was my first board, but did everything (except rails) well. Loved the wide and boaty feel it had...although its changed over the years and you cant get the columbian gold wood core. Felt damp and very lively. Surprisingly, i use my superdoa everywhere, even in soft snow i havent had an issue, floats just fine if you set it back and carry speed. So its my go to now. Have wanted to try that endeavor, bataleon, k2 alchemist, rome stale crewzer and im sure the megadeath is insane. Enjoy the season tj ❄️☃️

I'm an intermediate rider transitioning to powder. I currently own a full camber board that isn't great in powder conditions. I'm choosing between the Endeavor Archetype and the Capita Navigator. Which board is better suited for riding resort powder? I'm specifically looking for a board capable of handling morning powder rides and also performing ok within the resort in the afternoon. While I'm not an advanced rider, which board is more beginner friendly for powder? Thank you!

Hi. Will ION step on boots with X step on bindings (Burton 23/24) work well with this board? These bindings are quite stiff. And one more question - is this board is also good for aggressive "dance" on bumpy crud?

It really depends of what you are trying to achieve. Thunder is a backcountry freestyle snowboard. Cruiser is better if want to carve. Camel two is better in tight forest freeride.
