Sup carvers!
How you doin'? Season is ending and we're all upset... OMG I haven't mastered my heelside turns, I need more and more practise.... ok, that's not my I'm texting here haha
I think it will be interesting if I post cool things from Taobao (Alibaba company, but this app for asian market. A lot of asian riders buy equipment here). Everyone can register in Taobao app and order goods (淘宝 - find this app, in Alibaba.com app's content is very different and limited).
You can pay by visa, mastercard, american express, they can deliver to most countries.
p.s. I do not represent any interests of this company 🙂

In the mass market you can't find board wider than 280mm in waist, but in Taobao it isn't problem. I found a Chinese brand that has some interesting models.
Brand name - Cosone (cause 1? because 1? idk who came up this name xD) Big bird series (大鸟)
General info
Blue big bird (Waist 290mm) Price: 2699¥/373$
core: wood, length 152-168cm, nose and tail width:330mm, sidecut radius 7.99-9.77m, camber, stiffness-7
Next one I like more. White big bird (waist 300mm) Price: 2899¥/400$
core: bamboo, length 155-175cm, nose/tail width: 330mm, sidecut radius: 11.1-15.5m, camber, stiffness-8
On photo bindings set in duck stance angles, don't use it for real steep carving C:
I think these two models can be better for carving than famous brands (Do you remember freecarver 9000 with 9m radius and 272mm width? hehe)
What is your opinion? 🙂

Thanks @powder-surfer!
I hadn't seen these before. I don't have an opinion yet except that I'm glad to see the wide board revolution is finally expanding beyond North America!
I'm just slaying...

I've used Rakuten Ichiba in Japan:
https://search.rakuten.co.jp/search/mall/snowboard/
I got bindings that weren't available in Canada and I didn't know how else to do it. Towards the end of season they were 20% off, so the price was alright.
Just register for Rakuten global express, they give you an internal address, then ship to your real address. The shipping estimate was pretty close.
