I've got a 152 I'm 5"10 150 and I love the thing. Loves to turn, the sidecut is really nice. Playful but you can really drive off the tail and stomp cliffs or even park jumps if you want.
First good board I ever tried was a never summer fun slinger. I had no business riding that board, had no intention of doing any park but it was so much fun riding it compared to the shitty rentals and got me hooked on snowboarding. I still suck at riding but having a board you enjoy really makes a difference.
You guys should hold a contest where in the end one person gets to tag a long with you guys on one of your group trips like the one to niseko with David and Kevin !
Yo TJ, I’m in the hospital from a wreck at beech mountain in NC. You inspired to me to the Evil win. I ate it on the slope and have some brain bleeding but I’ll be back in two weeks or so. You’re videos are sick and keep it up! An inspiration for style! Yewwwww
Thanks buddy for the continued uploads. Missing it this year as we are back in lockdown here in the U.K. meaning that we can not even get to the indoor snowdomes at the moment and with travel banded to the U.S. for us as our ESTA’s have been revoked, our annual trip to mammoth won’t be happening in March. Looking forward to riding my warpig when we are allowed back out. Cheers. Mark.
Scored a 158 @ 5'10 to get more float in deep powder @ Jackson Hole in Jan. Took it to Breck a few weeks ago and carved the groomers with it . Fast board. Still more comfortable on my Westbound for all mountain
Took my Diablo 178 to north peak every chance i could, some of best trees in the valley. Looking forward to bringing the Big Gun 172 up there later in the season.
Love your content TJ. I am looking for a new all round freeride board that is quick and nimble but will hold up when bombing, but not too locked in and catchy. How does the Swift compare to the K2 Excavator? They both look like fun one board quivers
Great review TJ! How do you like the Swift compared to the Harpoon? I live in the Midwest, but make a few trips to the Vail Resorts in that area each year. Looking for a powder board that kills it in the trees and steeps. Thanks!!
@@justinbordwell4654 didn't work in what way? NS has tens of thousands of satisfied customers of all levels. Pretty sure there are a few pros riding them, not just ppl who go 5x a year. Lol. You don't have to like them but their boards "work" just fine. And if you don't like them, why did you buy a 2nd one? And they also make stiff boards as well. You just have to pick the appropriate board for your style and terrain of choice.
Great review TJ!!! I absolutely love you reviews, you do an excellent job of demonstrating the boards. Quick question: you looked like you really enjoyed this board, which do you pre this one (never summer swift) or are you feeling the Bataleon Party Plus? Thanks brother, take care.
Have a 157 Swift from a couple years ago and love it. Tried it with Atlas and just recently with Falcors...wondering if you have a preference between those two bindings for this board? I found the Atlas (last years Atlas) much better in deep pow on the swift..felt really super stable like you could not fall. I found the Falcors you could absolutely leave trenches carving without any effort...but it would dump you in deep pow and the board did not feel stable to me at all in deep pow. I am curious if you tried other bindings and if you found similar? Fwiw I ride forward angles both feet - have to because of my back knee.
Great review, TJ! I can't wait for the Harpoon review. Maybe more versatile than this? Maybe not? I wish you would have been able to get a Hammer from NS. Most people's hang up with them seems to be the rocker profiles; so I wonder how a true camber NS board is, in 2020?
Hey TJ, could you please give more recommendations on freestyle boards specially something good for butter tricks? Around 5 boards that you would get , thanks man !
What would u suggest as a safe base cleaner. Basically my board came without plastic wrap and the sticker left a mark on the base. I'm wanting to wax it before I take it out
I would do a hot scrape. Just use any wax (preferably an inexpensive wax) and wax the board as usual and then immediately scrape it while the wax is still warm. That will remove most of the dirt and get the board ready for a proper wax
Wow, look at all that pow, i'd imagine wiping out on that would be like falling on a bunch of pillows. Come to the North East, wipe out and you're in the hospital
Loveeeeeeee my Swift. Board rips. Great review

That board looks sick TJ! Still haven't tried a Never Summer!
You’ve gotta! I love my swift.
Never Never Summer for Kevin. Break the streak with the 2021 Proto Synthesis.

I think you would like the swift man! It would crush through the trees up in Whistler!

Just rode north bowl trees on Thursday man. Cleanest lines of the season so far and I agree with what you said about it being the first real pow.
Have this in a 157 split and it is a POW SURFING MACHINE. Also rips groomers. Great review!
Great job TJ! I'm roadtripping to Colorado in January hoping to score some pow days. Thanks for putting in the work on these videos!
Hmmmm road tripppp
Yooo
I was missing a BA vid these days and here it is. Keystone looks sweet and this board too
Bought one of these on sale in Australia so I have to wait until next year to try it. Thanks for the review now I'm even more excited!
Merry Christmas

Are you wearing a helmet out there man?
@@Chaugar Well I am now. That post was littered with poor grammar. Wear a helmet kids.
Those conditions looks AMAZING!!! Boarding isn’t so bad either... love your style you bring to the sport as always man 🏂
I am heavily weighing towards the Swift for my next board purchase. Thank you for a great informative review 🤙🤙
I’m going to build a rail in my backyard can’t wait to try it out!

Snapped my board in half last season on a tree near that Badge run. Tons of fun but those trees come at you quick.
Threading the needle between those trees TJ!
The Kazu bindings are so sick!
Took my Diablo 178 to north peak every chance i could, some of best trees in the valley. Looking forward to bringing the Big Gun 172 up there later in the season.
The Big Gun in deep trees is amazing. So much control, float, and maneuverability. Such an amazing damp ride in the groomers and chop.
@@Chaugar in 2 days we get to see the 22/23 season offerings. Hopefully they bring em back this year.
Dope video! I just demoed a never summer the 25th edition, def a fan so far. Going to have to check out this resort soon thanks for the content!
Ride the swift split and it’s a pow machine!
Sick review! And congrats to 50k !! 💥🤙
i wish i was as good as you! or even have my own board! keep up the good work!
Awesome TJ! Quick question party wave+ vs swift? What would u prefer
Jeeez keystone is looking good...
Keystone is really fun right now
That's what I was thinking
I went Thursday the 24th. Hella icy! No fresh Pow whatsoever 😢
@@StevieD44 yeww
What length Swift were you riding?
TJ what size is this NS Swift?

I’ll be in Colorado from the 5th to the 14th. Would be really cool to get to ride with you!
I want this board now
Can’t Wait To Snowboard At Mt, Bachelor For 2 Days!!!!!
Awesome vid man. 👍
Thanks Rob!
I would like to try that board
How does it compare to the Burton Deep Thinker and Lib Tech Orca???
How would you compare it to the deep thinker TJ ?
Wow a never summer that actually looks like it works
Looks like it works? They all work if you know how to ride. NS makes amazing boards.
@@Chaugar I actually had two and they didn't work. Fine for the average person going 5 times a year. I like stiffer more aggressive boards.

Cool music and video as always.
But I didn't understand does TJ like this board overall or not?

Hey TJ, is this board comparable to the Bataleon Party Wave? What do you like better?
How do you load up the board with the rocker in the middle for ollies? Struggling to find the sweet spot on my NS, otherwise a great Board.
you filming on go pro? which one

What run were you doing around 4:05, I’m going to keystone next week and definitely want to try that sweet run out!!
That run is called badger in the outback at keystone. Can’t guarantee the snow will be the same but that is a cool area to explore!
Hey TJ, could you please give more recommendations on freestyle boards specially something good for butter tricks? Around 5 boards that you would get , thanks man !
Not TJ, but check out the Bataleon Evil Twin
How much money do i need to join your trip this winter guy’s ! 🍺🇸🇪🌊🌊
What size did you ride this in?
Can we see you riding de bataleon party wave plus? (in powder)

@@BoardArchive I will do that, thanks!
I like 'em stiff!
Sweet
TJ, what’s the name of the run with all them trees?!?!
What music was used in this video in the first half
Under the Weather by Damma Beatz
Ok 👍 thanks 😊
Wish they made the swift wider I see so many everyday
epic
Good way to keep the bow planing above the water. #BoatArchive
Any chance you going to check out the NS Harpoon? The harpoon looks super fun.
It looks rad, will be on that board within the next couple of days depending on weather
Deep. I’m a boarder patroller there
Niiice m8
amazing review! suprise pow days rule
First
got em
on it
@@BoardArchive trying to beat the twins and ellstacker lol
Wow, look at all that pow, i'd imagine wiping out on that would be like falling on a bunch of pillows. Come to the North East, wipe out and you're in the hospital
Yeww
Heading to keystone tomorrow I'm going to look for this run
Looks like they copied the Korua pencil
The original NS Swift was made about 20 years before Korua existed.
@Landon Rainey Maybe Korua copied NS??
