I owned a custom, I've ridden the custom, that board has been so bastardized over the years. Never summer titan, k2 zepplin, k2 podium, atomic radon, flow solitude WX, Bataleon Undisputed are a few I liked.

Would the Atomic Hatchet be the equivalent to an NS Evo, as far as marketing or tatgeted demograhic is concerned?

No you took what I put completely wrong. The Evo is an overbuilt park board that excells at it all with a different flex pattern than the SL. I didn't make it work at what I took it through thats what it was good at. Its a very versatile board now compared to last seasons.
Evo is a high end park board the hatchet is a price point slayer. Flex patterns vary a lot on these boards, while you can freeride with a hatchet and do a lot of things with it, that board depends more on the riders ability. As someone that rides over 100 days a year my ability is a lot different than say someone that lives in the midwest and rides 20 days a year. Have to take that into account.
A bunch of reviews for you guys
Generally you only have to do that for a season anyway. At least kids are open minded, alot of adults are too self conscious and lack the childish mentality needed to bust out the meanest method ever!
I definately don't want to be misquoting any body. At 38 Iam an old fart as snowboarding goes been boarding half that but at approx 20 day a year, been cool seeing they way snowboards have progressed from the late 80s to now from my first beginer hire board of a 172 Kemper then to the those cool looking burton asym airs(never ad one) always wanted a barfoot before that, to the hardly no tip and tail twin boards of the mid 90s(had me a 153 Lib J Lynn),things went directinoanl twin f/style(99-00 Ride Brushie) got lazy with pipe/freestyle wanted to go fast in 2002 so got me a Ride Timless, now I want to cruise the mountain and hit some kickers for some big ass lazy 3s an if I could be bothered or remeber how 5s all before I get too old.
