Alright, spent a full day on the Funslinger today.
I gotta say, this board is kinda the shit. It's not a daily driver for me and my riding style, but it would definitely replace my old NS Evo in the quiver for a soft, playful board.
Never Summer is starting to perfect the CRC design with their latest boards. Extending the camber to under foot is a major improvement. The old designs were just a little too rocker dominant IMO. Extending that camber a little deeper helps provide more grip and predictability to the ride while also providing more pop, but the center rocker still provides plenty of playfulness.
I'm riding a 156 at 195# and still had no issues holding a solid edge on some pretty damn solid hardpack.
This board is asymetrical, but I honestly don't think asym makes a big difference.
To sum it up, this basically rides like a softer version of the Evo with better edge hold, more pop, and an interesting tip shape that I really like for butters.
Anyway, here's some pics from the day:
I'm riding it with Flux DS's and I think it's a perfect pairing.
Plenty of pop to catch air off of the primarily featureless groomers that Loveland is sporting right now.
This thing is SOFT. If you can't butter and press this board, then I don't know what to tell you.
Even at 195# on a 156 soft park board, I had no issues laying some trenches on some pretty damn bulletproof hard pack today.
