Please keep the big guys on for their review and focus on sizing for us guys 6ft+ 220lbs+. Extremely useful information and perspective for us larger humans. Thank you!
Great review as usual! I've put about 8 days on this board this season and really liking it the more I put it through the paces. When mid-turn, driving more energy into the tail really takes the turn up a notch. I keep thinking of the immortal words of Nigel Tufnel when turning this board, especially when driving hard off of the tail "if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven. Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly." I'm finding myself reaching for this board more and more. The conditions I haven't had it in is the really deep stuff..... Thanks again and keep the reviews coming.
Big fan of your chanel and appreicate all the well thought out reviews. I am 5"5 about 135 Lbs, boot size 8, would the 142 cm peace keeper more suitable for me or the 147 cm. I am an advance rider.
Out of the 30+ boards I’ve ridden, the ride peace seeker is hands down the most responsive and fun board I have ridden. It surprisingly has an insane amount of pop and it’s really stable at high speeds. 9.9/10 board, I just wish it held a carve as good as the Never Summer Valhalla.
Looking for some help like many others but doesn't seem like anyone else has comparable stats. 5'7" 150 lbs size 11 boot. I've been daily driving a gremlin 155 waist width is 264, other boards are a lib round nose fish with a waist with of 256, medium warpig waist width is about 260mm Should i play it safe and go with the 151? The 147 really intrigues me on my rider weight stats im just nervous of damn toe drag. Its the 😈. Love your content and stoked to hear what ya think. E-🦸♂️
Thanks! So if you have a Medium (151) Warpig thats 26.5cm waist and its pretty wide over the inserts. Its closer to the 154 excavator width wise so if you want a quicker turning ride go 150 and it should be drag free. Dont go 146. If you want to get into it more hit me up here. shop.thegoodride.com/merchandise/gear-advice/
Thanks for the review! For 190lbs, 5’10, US Men’s 8, what size do you recommend for groomer riding? Dong really go super fast, but want a turny, short, tight carver. Thanks in advance!
Really depends on what make/model/size board you ride now and how you like it. 151 is better for your weight and 147 for your boots. It's a very easy board to turn and I had no issues with the 151 with size 9's 185-190lbs at 5'10". Felt pretty easy to turn. If you want to ride pow and see better conditions this is the call. 147 will be a lot easier to control but it might feel a good bit smaller. I'd only go for this if you see a lot of uneven crowded snow. It will maneuver super quick there.
Great review! How much overhang was there on the 151 with size 9 US boots? I’m 5’10” 185 with size 9 but leaning towards the 155 to really lay it over on edge without any heel or toe drag.
little to no overhang with the 151. I could scratch my nips with this and I'm literally the same specs as you. If you want more board/speed/carving power you could do the 155 too.
@@thegoodridesnow I currently ride a 2021 rossignol sawblade 151cm that I primarily use for park but I do ride downhill groomers and like to do big carves as I’m primarily a surfer and looking for a board for long drawn out carves, tree runs and something a little better in powder than my current board because riding my board in powder is not fun on the legs.
Go 147 then but this isn't really for long drawn out carves. It's more of a circle carver that always needs to be turning. If you are ok with that then give it a go. However if you want other suggestions hit me up here. shop.thegoodride.com/merchandise/gear-advice/
@henrydegenry go Hovercraft 2.0. Thats the closest you will get. Has a little more taper, more set back on board and a little more turny sidecut but I like it better and it still has the old Hovercraft feel.
Hi, seriously considering a K2 Excavator. Is there any difference between the 2022 and 2023 models? I prefer the graphics on the 2022, so will buy one of those if there's no major upgrades
I wouldn't hesitate to grab the current model of this deck either its an awesome board, I have a 154 first year and I can't stop riding it and I've got quite a quiver going, this deck does a lot of things really well, it has a real nice turn to it great flex pattern hauls ass in the pow..
Hey guys great review, was wondering if you could help me out with some advice. Im pretty much banging my head on the wall, and not sure where to turn. I am Looking to purchase the Ride peace seeker 151 (185 pounds) to pair up with a pair of Union Atlas pro, but not too sure if I should go for a medium or large size binding. I have a pair of 10.5 us Burton SLX's (feel I can drop to a 10) and have been using L size bindings on my other boards, just worried that the peace seeker is a little tight on the body/afraid of toe drag. Anyone have any insight on this?
It's not a hard snow specialist but it can hang there. If you want better grip look for boards like the YES Hybrid, Gnu Gremlin, YES Optimistic and the Lib Tech Orca that all grip very well in hard snow.
I ended up getting the peace seeker. I really enjoy this board. I handles mid west ice as good as one can expect. I use it in the morning on groomers. Then switch to the twin pig.
Glad it works for you. If you ever get a chance to try the boards I mentioned above its worth a go. It will change your perspective on what a board can do in hard snow.

We are trying but it isn't easy. Most brands don't have his size in demo.
I'm 6'1 and the 162 k2 Excavator is perfect. I'm 250lbs and size 13 boots too.

Many thanks for your Spinal Tap take and the good words! As Nigel might say...may every turn lick your love pump!
Bought the k2 2 months ago. Incredible board. shreds anything.
Glad you like it and thanks for your take.
You really like this board ? I’m considering that one …. Doing 95% on piste. Like groomer , daily riding , going on the edge …
@@Ridee_1981 get it. Absolutely worth it
@@evanwiger great :)
But do you use it mostly on Powder days or a daily board For groomer and regular Ride on piste ?
Love having Davey’s perspective as well thanks James gives balance and interesting with 2 different size guys thank you great review.
Thanks and I love having Davey as well!

what size would you reccomend im 5'6 210 lbs and size 8.5 boot ? love the reviews btw!
151 would be a good size for you. Normally I would say go the next size down but you will want a little more for your weight.

@thegoodridesnow
Sizing help please I'm 5'9" ~168 lbs
147cm or 151cm?
Boot size?
Board make, model & size u ride now .
How do u like thay size?

@@thegoodridesnow Nice! And how would you compare this board to the Ride Superpig, I’m having trouble deciding between these 2 boards.
Way more turny and to some more hooky when u try to go straight. Superpig is more centered and feels much wider.
I’m 5’7 145pounds size 9 boot. Would you recommend 143 or 147 for me? Thanks for the review!
I would say 147 but depends on what you ride now and how you like it. If you give me make/model/size/year I can help better.

Is the peace seeker close to a hovercraft? Loved my hovercraft for Colorado pow days, looking for something similar
No. Peace seeker has a very tight radius sidecut that always needs to be turning. The Hovercraft is the opposite and loves to go straight.
@@thegoodridesnow what boards on the market would you say are the same style as the hovercraft?
@@thegoodridesnow and thanks this is a great insight I wouldn’t of thought of

I didn't get to ride the 2022 but have heard from some that it has a faster base so that might be the call.
The first vintage excavator has a carbon infused 5500 base its faster than the 2nd vintage that has a crown 4001 wax fused base
Thanks guys. Now if I can just dig up a 154 somewhere...
I wouldn't hesitate to grab the current model of this deck either its an awesome board, I have a 154 first year and I can't stop riding it and I've got quite a quiver going, this deck does a lot of things really well, it has a real nice turn to it great flex pattern hauls ass in the pow..
I ride the Warpig at 142, should I stick to that or go down to 138 ? 135 lbs size 7 boot.
Size 7 Men or Women?
@@thegoodridesnow Mens
142 should be good. I wouldn't go down unless you feel the 142 is too big.

Thanks! I think you will be fine with 10.5's/185lbs on the Peace Seeker 151 and shouldn't have any toe/heel drag. It's a pretty wide little ride.
How does the peaceseeker ride on midwest ice?

Good ride guys- would you go 151 or 147 on the peace keeper? I am 5’11 215 pounds but slimming down to 190 and size 8.5 boot
Owould go 151 for the Peace keeper. Its a very quick turning board
@@thegoodridesnow you guys rock!!! Does it really feel hooky??
