The topsheet on last years WWW had a PTEX topsheet, and a ghosted smiley face in the middle there, so with the lighting on that picture, it doesn't look like a "normal" topsheet.

Ahh gotcha. Gave me an idea though. Wonder if Grip Tape would actually work instead of a stomp pad and provide grip all day? Unless it freezes over? Might not be a bad idea and kinda like the look.

Logically it should work, but then it would just be a matter of time until you inspire a 7 page thread, wouldn't it?

My board has like little bricks of griptape like material. I like it, it's cool

The only bad thing is snow, some ice, and dirt get stuck on it.

Way over my head with the latest purchase. But then I was over my head with the raptor last year

Sorry for the photo quality. I had to panorama it with the phone since the boards are in my laundry room.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1357461964.756862.jpg

Jezuz I didn't even see the top board! Have you had it out yet? We can be european ironing board buddies! lol

Not yet. Picked it up on Monday when I got back to Calgary. I should have used it on New years at LL since it was just all ice

We definitely all need to meetup sometime.

Even my noob eyes can tell this thing is dramatically different than anything I've seen in stores (except the Volkl.) The whole thing is cambered except the scoopy nose. Super short tail and the edge goes for almost the entire board length. It feels like a Rossignol Experience mid section from tail to well past the front inserts. The only soft spot is the nose (about hand length) and by soft I mean feels like the rocker section of the raptor.... Great board for beginners and experts alike my ass...
