I’m an advanced rider.. 155lbs/10 vans boot.
Jones recommended 152 or 156, I went 156. It’s a wide board, but for a carving specific board, I wish I would have went 160. I usually prefer a bigger board but was hesitant going too big on this long edge.
The deck is sick though, fast and lays over far for sure.
I’ve ridden many decks with traction tech/magna traction.. my opinion is that does not belong on this board. You can feel the extra drag, when you don’t really want it.
Also paired with mercury binders, very comfy. But toe strap seems stretchy/flimsy. I wish the highback could adjust side to side. With big positive stance, puts high backs in not the best place. And the foam rolled over the top of the high back is already peeling off. I’m sure it’ll glue back down.. but I’ve only got like 10 laps on this setup.
All in all, very decent, comfortable ride! Just worried about quality/longevity of the binders.
