Arbor Draft Vs Never Summer Evo. - Snowboarding Forum

syphabiscuit · 08-08-2011, 06:40 AM

So, I've ridden the Evo and totally adored it. Are these two boards very similar? I've heard less than positive things about the bronze edges on the Draft.... But it's a lot cheaper. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Cheers

i have both and they are not similar at all
evo is way stiffer and can use as all mountain in a jiffy
draft is pretty soft and i wouldn't take it to a big mountain

Cheers for response Merv!

Hehe, I thought the Evo was well noodly compared to my Skate Banana. Is the Arbor Draft a good board then? I know that the Evo can be ridden all over. But i loved it for buttering and pressing. Is the arbor better for ground tricks and that? Do you ride both? Sorry about all the questions I just want to see if it would be worth owning both. Cause if i got the Draft now I would probably still get the evo and I don't have a lot of money to be blowing on boards!! Basically should I get both or just the Evo??

WHat exactly are you looking to do with this board

Nivek · 08-08-2011, 01:43 PM

The Draft is a good job board. But thats about all its good at. If you want a capable park board for cheap look for a 2011 Salomon Drift rocker or a Flow Verve or Era.

The exact thing I want to do with this board is

THIS - ‪SNOW BOARD GROUND TRICK (?????MOVIE 09--10 TRUST6MEDIA (MASTER OF GROUND#02)(MAGIC BOARD)‬&rlm; - YouTube

That's not to say I will be able to do even a 20th of what they can but at least start learning to do it. I have a Skate Banana and a Proto CT - I love both boards I guess if i had to categorise - Proto -Jumping and carving SB - jibbing jumping and icy days and then the draft/evo for super buttering and pressing. ..... sound about right??

Nivek · 08-08-2011, 03:34 PM

If you've already got a Proto and Nanner get the Draft. Its a super fun board.

syphabiscuit · 08-08-2011, 04:24 PM

If i get the Draft - will it stop me wanting the Evo when considering my other boards too?

Nivek · 08-08-2011, 04:40 PM

Probably not. I always want new boards. Like always.
