I picked up a Jones Ultra Aviator on the back of some telephone advice im not altogether happy with the board..
This thing is absolutely fantastic for tearing down the piste/groomers (what i do 90% of the time) but my problems start when the groomers become bumpy chunder shit this thing just bucks me to hell im not sure if its the board or my fitness levels but it just saps my legs to the point where you have to stop this didn't happen on my old Lib.
The positives i found with this thing is that it upped my speed no end i was absolutely melting the hill (outwith the chunder) and i found myself waiting for the troops rather than being waited on and carving properly and feeling the board working the turns.
So basically i am maybe looking for a replacement of some description or a second board tho throw in the bag... I have an early season trip planned this year where the conditions are bound to be far from perfect so thinking i need something a little softer without losing the speed i found last season if that makes any sense or if its even possible.
Im 5ft8
I am 177lb fat
My feet are 9.5 US
Bindings at the moment are Union T Rice.
Is there a camber dominant board that fits what i need or should i man up and get on with it.
