    Major thanks from a 54 yr old for all your reviews and info! Been researching for weeks after having been out of boarding for 14 yrs. Bought the Gremlin 2022 based partly on this glowing review but also using info about your other reviews indicating what boards wouldn't be preferable for me. Would've bought with links but like to support local. Joined your Patreon to show some love. Appreciate your knowledge and humor. >>boring backstory>> Started on a Burton Backhill then Performer before boarding was allowed on resorts in SoCal mtns (Bear, Summit, etc). 10-ish yrs later got a Burton Custom w/SI system and loved it. Donated it (and some Salomon and Kemper equip) around 2008 after not going at all for years due to kids and stuff. Now I have more time so diving in full bore!

    I just had to have the green one, got it in a 155 its a bit big for my 5'10 175lb and size 9 boots, but DAMN does it have stability. As opposed to my 21 dancehaul (which is just HAD to have in the gold sparkle) which i rife in a 143, this board feels like a 85 oldsmobile versus a 2009 nissan versa. The dancehaul is playful, bendy, floats in pow and cuts quick slashy carves, where the Gremlin hauls ass and takes a bit more hip and shoulder to swing around. At 27 years old after 16 years of riding hand-me-down gear i finally have 2 fully rigged up combos, each for their own distinct yet important purpose. The dancehaul is my lil spicy gal. The gremlin is my go-to for new terrain with potential ice or steeps. My wife just doesnt understand tho, i need to get the Nuzoid and the Cool Bean and then with 4 snowboards ill be fully stocked.

It holds edge way better on ice than my Korua Cafe Racer (Gremlin is my first Mervin board), and I can really change radius of carved turn with proper loading it, moving from front to back foot. No problems with short, medium, big carves. Just was not ready to that amount of “snap”. The board literally sent me in the air couple of times, when up-unweighting and changing edges:) That feeling, when the board rides better than the rider:) I’ve been thinking that I need stiffer board, but…no.

    5'10" 200LB here thinking 155 may be the move? I have a 159 EJack but looking for something a little better in the tight Stowe trees on pow days that can still be fun to rip the whole mountain, never really hit the park at all. Or do you think there is a better board out there that fits what I am looking for? Ride about 30 days a year and progressing from int to advanced. Thanks

    • @AngrySnowboarder

      Going to a volume shifted board makes sense. But this might be too stiff torsionally for what you're looking for with those tight trees. It's a great board and makes sense, but I'd also suggest looking at the Telos Backslash in a 53.

    Sizing question for those in the know. Advanced New England/Ice Coast rider, 5’10”, 205 lbs, 11.5 boot. Daily driver is a Gnu RCC3 158w. Typical riding is 75% charging hard on black/blue, 25% goofing around on blue/green side hits and rollers. Love Mervin tech for the type of conditions I typically see. Looking hard at getting a Gremlin to make a two-board quiver. From what I have read, the Gremlin will do well in powder conditions and spring slop and just general fun boosting off of stuff. Volume shifted with magnatraction looks like it would have no problems railing high speed turns on hardpack as well. I am torn on sizing: 152 or 155 cm? Boots should fit either, not sure how much high-speed stability/carving prowess I would be trading for agility/playfulness going to the smaller board. Hoping to pick the size that won’t make me want to head to the parking lot to swap out with the RCC3 in the afternoon when the good snow is busted because the Gremlin is too squirrely.

    Love the channel. I'm really interested in this board. I ride a 159W Mullair right now. It has a 260 waist width, and with my size 11.5 boots I get some heel drag when I'm traversing.
    Would it be fair to say that this board floats a little more than the Mullair but maybe isn't quite as stable? I'm 5'10" 190lb and I'm thinking the 158 gremlin would a good replacement if I decide to move on from my Mullair. I understand that would be a really wide board then though. 155 seems really short to me.

      @@AngrySnowboarder One more question, 155 or 158? I’m maybe 200lbs wet with no gear on, and I wear a size 12.5 boot. I’m afraid the 158 might be more stiff than I’d like, but I really want to get it laid over to euro carve angles if possible.

      I feel you... I missed it too. I was baking cookies. On the plus side I get to watch it while eating warm cookies!
