Last year i specifically set out to buy light (on a budget) as i was convinced it would help with flat ground ollies and other jumps (not to mention carrying board/boots/bindings/wear in a board bag over one shoulder for long distances was really quite a hassle). Looking at other measurements here i think i did end up with a light setup, but the total difference is so small i dont know why i bothered...
The TD was pretty light for a wide board, the jones I would say is about average based on this thread.. Maybe a touch heavier. Was on a bathroom scale though so who knows..
Haha, learned on the last trip, that sometimes one has to adapt. Nice little conversation in AK: Me boasting with long runs of >2200m vert. Guy glacing at me unimpressed with blank face. Me converting to feet. Him: OOOh...yea! :blink:
Been buying a new setup recently, I was interested in the weight of stuff and couldn't find much info. Here's what I have:
Old:
(2009-ish) Neversummer Evo 153: 2.96kg
K2 Formula: 2.06kg
Rome Smith boots: 2.15kg
Total: 7.17kg
New:
2019 Capita Springbreak Twin 154: 2.68kg
Union Strata: 1.72kg (don't have those yet, actually found the weight on the interwebs)
Burton Ruler: 1.7kg
total: 6.1kg
So the whole setup is actually over 1kg (2.3lbs) lighter, which is pretty good and definitely noticeable. It does add up.
