Totally different. Watch the review bro 😂

100% as soon as I get another big storm to give it a proper go!

@@Drift-Productslooking forward to your reviews on it. Btw, I edited my original post. Ty

Nm about my question in the original . I saw Travis’s video again, and the context was related more to the Orca…. Just ignore that question…

Uberegg review coming within the next few days! It floats better than the Dart. Just know it really only wants to be in the pow. But it floats as good or better than anything I've ever ridden.

Hey! Check out some of the full reviews on my channel and you can see my specs below each one. But I'm 6'3" 190 on a 164.

Thanks for adding your thoughts!

Yes.

@Drift-Products would heel&toe drag be an issue? I ride the same angles and stance as you too

@@PrashantBhagavatula no, shouldn’t be an issue.

@@Drift-Products awesome, glad to hear it. One last thing- between this and the Korua Transition Finder, what would you recommend for all-mountain, chargey riding? 40/60 on-piste/off-piste

@@PrashantBhagavatula powgoda for a powder bias, TF for a carving bias. The TF is stiffer and more aggressive. But I like the powgoda better overall myself.

Yes, but that's kind of how a good all mountain board is. It actually excels a bit in the pow, and it excels at just feeling dang good. I'll give it that.

Haven't ridden the Aesmo enough since I got it to really judge yet, but on first impression I think you're right. The Aesmo so far seems like it wants to be on faster and bigger slopes to come alive.

@Drift-Products yeah 100% i feel the Aesmo is very tracky in the front end to middle of the board. I have not got it in super steep terrain , traded it for a Konvoi round tail 143.

It is similar to the Dancehaul but I would say the same thing: they're just not that wide for "volume shifted" boards (for my with a size 12 boot.) I prefer the feel of this to the Dancehaul but it's got a similar vibe for sure. I'd probably lean Banked Country for damp charger over the Passport. The Standard Uninc and Aviator would also be awesome options in that vein.

@Drift-Products I also have a size 12 and do wish they were even wider but apart from the Pig series and the Stranda Biru, I don't know many that are. Tganks for the suggestions! I did demo the Aviator at an indoor slope and thought it was really nice. Wish it was a little more directional.

@@EssenceOfTrance I think brands know if they go too wide they loose potential buyers. But it's bad for those of us with big feet. The Party Wave is nice and wide, the Aloha Vibes from Amplid, the Telos Backslash... those are a few off the top of my head. The Flagship is about as close as you can get to a more directional Aviator, but for whatever reason it doesn't feel quite as awesome to me when charging the crud.

@Drift-Products Yeah I wish more brands do drag free models like Never Summer. Oh well, a 268 mm waist width is enough for most applications. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll keep those in mind if I ever get a new board, likely next season. 😆

Google offered to translate, but I speak your language. Ride on!

Thanks for watching! Yes, I think you would love this. Hard to beat for what you described.

@@Drift-Products Stoked! Thanks Brigham, what I was hoping to hear!

agree.

amen!

Sincerely happy for you. I rode 80+ boards last year, and this one was definitely not in the fast base category. But it was fine. I wouldn't tell someone to stress about it at all.

That sounds about perfect use from my experience. It’s a fun board for what you described.

I think the Dart is a great option in Japan. 160 sounds good, I'd just follow their sizing advice on their website. They do a really good job. Have fun!

@@Drift-Products thanks man!!

Either of those would be awesome combos. Love the Powgoda and surfer. Will be getting on the Powder Glider for the first time as soon as it snows enough. Let me know what you go with!

solid boards for sure.

Ya that's good stuff, it's just the whole volume thing needs to take into consideration weight, height, foot size, and terrain. His point about how steep the terrain is really matters. I ride a lot of low angle, deep pow and it just takes a lot of board to stay afloat. Thanks for sharing.

I don't. I try to test the boards as close to reference as possible, as I'm trying to eliminate variables and want to see how it feels the way it was "intended." In my personal riding, I will alter my stance location depending on conditions and the board I'm on. No kickbacks for me, gotta stay unbiased! My fondness for the Cardiff boards is legit.

Nice. It's a gem.

I think you'd be okay either way. My personal preference would be to go wider but you should be fine.

Thanks for your take. It would be fun to try a smaller one like that. I I can't imagine it would do as well in low angle Utah pow, but it would be rad in a lot of other ways. I ride a 152 Special Effects and enjoy it a lot of the time. I'm curious how long your legs are for your height as well. I'm all leg and really prefer a wider stance than most.

I think the dancehaul is more popular in general, but I'll tell you I like the Warca so much more! The Warca is full camber, not very aggressive camber, but full. and it's got that Yes mid bite tech. I think the Warca is a little more stiff and aggressive. Overall, I'd do the Warca all day but that's just me!

That's a spring break powder racer next to the Standard Uninc.

I'd go dart for pow and carving. Pretty hard to beat. The new Storm Chaser is a great option too but won't carve quite as well as the dart. The elevated egg is pretty rad to for a similar but more chill ride. I'd take any of these over the Japan but the Japan is a solid option. haven't ridden the Gilson.

@@Drift-Productshave you ridden the stranda tree carver and stranda mackril? How does it compare?

@@coryrita9695 Sorry haven't been able to get on any Strandas yet. Bringing boards in from Europe is tough. I've made it to Amplid and Korua, but not Stranda yet.

probably 147 unless you want it for the deepest days.

@ the capita powder racer could be a good cheaper option?

The powder racer is a lot of fun, but it's quite a bit softer. More chill.

I'll find out as soon as there's enough snow!

@ which are your best “tree boards”? I would go to Japan but I can’t decide which board I have to buy

Don't over think it. Lots of boards would be awesome. Storm Chaser, Special Effects, Sushi, Dart, Powder Racer, one of these boards vs. another is not going to change how much fun you have. Find one you like for a good deal and go for it.

Thanks!

Probably not. Only comes in one size and looking at the numbers I don't think it's big enough for me. I mean I'd be glad to ride it, it's not super small, but I probably won't spend the money to get one.

Good question. Where are you riding? How steep is it, how deep does it get?

@@Drift-Products thanks for the fast reply. Riding mainly in the Austrian Alps. Some resorts and a glacier can get pretty deep days but probably not as deep as you have in the US and Canada. I won't use it for very steep runs. Medium steep to low angle and some trees. Not sure how this board is for carving and if the size will make much difference. That would be a plus, since I have to do quite a bit of groomers to get from one pow run to the other.

How was the flex for you on the 152. Was it much softer than the Korua Dart you tried? It puts me right in the middle, looking at the chart from K2. If it's not too stiff than I might go for the 152.

The K2 is way more chill than the Dart. I think it'll be fine on the groomers but nothing too special if you're trying to really rail carves. My hunch would be go 152, but truth is you'd probably be fine on either. In my experience, I usually prefer my powder boards to be on the long side rather than short if I have to pick one or the other. I don't think it'll feel too stiff or be slow in the trees. The other option would be to go with something like the Storm Chaser, it's a similar board but it's not as wide. It's a touch stiffer and has a bit of camber under the back foot now.

Awesome!

Thanks!

Cheers! I'm a big fan of both. The Alchemist probably wouldn't make my favorite powder list, but it is a ripper. The Dart is up there for sure!

hmm. Both are great, PYL Uninc might be a little too similar to your excavator... the Ravine Select would be awesome, the Standard Uninc or the Aviator 2.0 might also be worth a look if you want something a little less directional for the daily but still want to charge.

@ thank you for the input!

both equally good in the pow, the spring break is softer and more playful. Will be a little more turny in the trees. The Hovercraft is a board you can push a little harder when carving or in variable terrain.

I think 159 would be great, and no I didn't weigh it but it's not abnormally heavy. Wouldn't worry about that at all.

Ya it's still plenty turn even in a big size. You could probably get away with one size down too if it's wide enough for you.

164w but make sure you want to charge. It's stiff and wants to go! I think the 159w would be a little too small but the 164 might be a little stiff for your weight.
