Thanks for the review!

[@benjaminsimolka7187]

Thank you for the updated review! The clip at the end is great. The good old days of TGR when only the website was there. Thank you for keeping one of the best gear reviews that we have. Greetings from 30 degrees hot Germany where currently soccer is the only topic 😅

Many Thanks @benjaminsimolka7187!

Burton Flying V was always my least favorite camber profile that they made. I miss their S Camber boards for powder, but they discontinued those in favor of Directional Camber instead which is pretty different. I still have my 2013 Burton Barracuda with the S Camber in a board closet in my house, but I admittedly don’t take it out very often because I have so many other boards with newer tech that I prefer to ride on a powder day

[@thegoodridesnow]

That was such a great board for the time.

[@narrowistheway77]

@@thegoodridesnow yeah, I love how surfy the Barracuda is, turns off the front foot, yet rides off the rear foot. It’s a real shame they aren’t making new S Camber boards with the latest tech

[@thegoodridesnow]

Have you tried the Moss Jellyfish? You might like that if you liked the Barracuda.

[@narrowistheway77]

@@thegoodridesnow I haven’t ridden the Moss boards yet, I was considering buying Winterstick, Gentemstick, and Moss powder boards in the upcoming season though. Those are all pretty pricey but seem like they’re worth the money
