How do you get out of the FASE bindings? Is there a lever somewhere or does opening the ankle strap allow the high back to hinge backward?
If the heelcup isn’t huge like Supermatics I can see myself riding the Katanas. My current pair have five seasons on them and this would be an easy transition to the new type of binding.

"a pressure sensitive lever that raises the highback to the boot when strapping-in and opens the highback when the rider disengages as they are unstrapping."

I’d like to see the Bataleon Salsa Lace boots. If they are less vibrant looking than this years I’ll try and squeeze another season out of my current boots. If not I’ll cop those rainbow ones from this year and style it out.

You should rock those on a Nitro Volcom Alternator.

Purely from the shape it looks more like a fancier Passport. Sage has talked a couple times on the Bombhole about a board he has been working on with JStone, accessible high end freeride from how he's talked about it. So similar build style and construction as the Alchemist with a more Passporty flex would be my guess. Which seems like a ton of overlap in their line. Nor was the Alchemist that stiff anyway. Seems to me like they should have just tweaked the Instrument and positioned it against the Alternator/Aeronaut rather than adding a board in the very small space between the Passport and Alchemist.

While I do think this is a stiffer passport like you said, I don't think that this is the board Sage is working on with J stone. I only know this because J stone and I chatted on instagram a while back and he said "If you're looking for an all mountain/pow board for next year, Sage and I made a new board called the sky pilot that's insane"
