RE: Effects of a carver’s body mass?

Where are you from? I would not call that stocky. That’s probably a good BMI. My adult weight has fluctuated from 135-200… often with too much on t...

RE: Jones Freecarver 9000 Discussion

The other thing I’ll note is the Feeecarver (at least the 6) REALLY breaks in. Initially it was stiffer than my ‘23 Rome Stalefish. They’re both mad...

That video that Lars did was great. It seemed like a fair comparison, though he probably could have touched on the superior construction of the Stran...

RE: Options for the JJA C4 166

Yeah I want the titanal dampening and more of a freecarver vs BX/race... and after riding it, I just want it. My Freecarver 6000 is 277mm underfoot ...

Just to give people another perspective... I’m 172cm, 165lbs, size 8 boot (though my mondo is actually only 255; outer boot length is 287). I’d say I...
