Surfing is a good analogy, where powder is generally more back-foot driven like that. Yesterday I was in some heavier spring pow, maybe 10cm deep, ...
I'm still mulling this over... In my mind, carving was (predominantly) defined by the edge. If that's largely just the initiation, what is carving?...
This discussion has been very thought-provoking. My Stranda Shorty can turn surprisingly tight, and I had thought that was largely due to the longer ...
Lars had a great video where he pointed out that the waist of his board wasn't even making contact: In the case of the Freecarver, the radius open...
@wild-cherry My 6000 is just the 154 with a 6.5m sidecut, which does open up at the tips and that calculator puts it at 6.79. That calculator is in...
Totally different. It's stiffer and wants to do slightly larger turns and it's WAY more planted at speed. It's also a 164 vs 154.
We should probably have this side discussion in the other thread: I agree that the radius starts the turn... but I think the depth more easily decre...
I hate changing and breaking in new boots… I pushed the last ones to 70 days with a new liner and Strapins, but never tried the plastic tongue inserts...
When I go to the website it shows the dollars in my currency, including shipping. In Canada there were no duties, so it was just the taxes that I wou...
I’m no expert, but I feel like more depth makes it a lot easier to tighten the radius. You just add angle and your weight/cornering force pushes the c...
After trying the 2 prototypes... "Smooth Operator" could certainly work!
Yes indeed, that's where the sidecut DEPTH comes into play (with the board flex). Compared to the average off-the-shelf board, 27mm seems huge to me...
@riotsupercarver True, but how many 6.5 m sidecuts have an effective edge of 1280mm? It's more depth than I've ever seen. I think the specs are fair...
That Pentaquark could certainly be interesting. I’ve heard it can be a bit of a chore and likes to go fast, but that actually sounds good to me. The...
On the 6000 tangent… The sidecut is (what they call) progressive… “At the far ends of the sidecut, the radius is incrementally increased as the...
