Help! Noob to the world of stiff boards here :embarrased1:
Recently got a 2014 Ride Highlife UL which I'm yet to ride. My intentions for it are aggressively charging groomers, and powder when available. I like to pop off natural features, maybe the odd kicker but I've got other boards for when I'm in a freestyle mood. Certainly no boxes or rails on this! I also ride in Burton Motos, will these be limiting with a stiff board? Can a stiffer binding make up for this? I've got some M3 Pivots and Technine brewer pros which I can put on it, but don't feel like they'd be up to it.
Anyway, I've got a few bindings in mind, though I'm certainly open to all suggestions. Biggest issue is ability to actually get them here in New Zealand, I'll be damned if I'm paying full retail here, and many overseas sites won't ship most major brands.
So far on my list:
Rome 390 Boss
Ride Capo
Ride El Hefe - Retail $600 here, and hard to import. Would love these.
Union Force
Union Charger
Burton Malavitas
Burton Missions
Thoughts? Bonus is I'm in no rush as our seasons over, so can wait for deals to try and get the best possible price. Budget can be an issue, but if it's truly worth it I don't mind saving more.
