No idea, just saw it on their website randomly but "out of stock." My best guess is it's a placeholder for next year.

Sick! Hope they do the same for Surfari! If not I’ll get the Souly Grail. Although after going back and reading your review of both boards it sounds kind of like souly grail is the way to go. [emoji3526]

The Surfari is pretty agressive in my opinion. Awsome for just going fast in pow and in general. Would have gone with the Souly Grail for more tortional flex and playfulness if I was to pick again.

Annette hasn't responded to any of mine and UPS has been waiting on her response since 2/22

After filing a claim with my bank I finally got Amplid to respond, though Gregor said he had COVID which caused him to not respond. Not sure if this is also why Annette stopped responding, but Gregor did cc her on my bank claim. Assuming this is the case they should hopefully have responded by now, and if not, it seems filing a claim is the only way to get a response :/

Yes, Gregor has been helpful and none of this was their fault as it was damaged by UPS but it’s finally getting it sorted out

I've been interested in Amplid for years so I finally sent it and picked up both of these in 157. They look kind of similar at first glance, and share similar construction, but actually ride very differently. Ran Union Atlases on both, since they both need to be paired with a responsive full size disc binding. Figured I'd share some initial impressions after a couple days on snow, since there are so few reviews out there...

Surfari has an 8/10 Flex rating that feels accurate tip to tail, but has a little more torsional flex than expected from just hand flexing it in. This thing locks in on high speed carves with that 8.0 sidecut and has surprising edgehold despite a mellower camber profile and average EE. I think the grip comes from being well balanced and so damn stable. It hasn't snowed much for over 2 weeks here in the PNW, but it stayed steady even on patches of ice in the shade. Reminds me of the US Outer Orbit & Korua TF Plus+.

Souly Grail is slightly toned down, one notch lower 7/10 on the flex scale with considerably more torsional flex, slightly narrower waist, 7.9 sidecut, and a little more setback. Every bit as stable as the Surfari but a little quicker edge-to-edge and you can butter with some effort. This might become my new go-to charger for now. Reminds me of the US Inner Orbit & Nidecker Mellow/Liberty/Fun Ball.

Thoroughly impressed so far and impatiently waiting for another storm cycle so I can try them out in some pow.

Who? Maybe I missed it, but neither Jkb818 nor myself are seeing any mention of it in the other thread.

Checking it it was actually your post.

I talked to the owner of a shop in the resort this week. He rode all the Centrifugal collection, and he prefers the Souly Grail for a daily. He is also probably not more than 70 kgs and likes the softer flex.

:facepalm: On the previous page, in posts #379 & #380 that you quoted, we were talking about the 153 size specifically.
 
#391 ·
I’m wondering if the 153 has been even available for anyone yet or are they just posting it on the site to prepare people for next season. Regardless I will be owning one and Utah better have a better season next year.

Hi everyone just picked up my first Amplid a 161 Surfari super excited to get it out just waiting for the season to start here in Australia. I’ve noticed the factory tune is 90 degree edge & 0 degree bevel in their words leaving a blank canvas for customisation. I have read various posts on this forum about Amplids good edge hold & was wondering what edge & bevel angles people are running on their Amplids?
Cheers

SWEET!! Will be nice to see another Surfari out on the Aus slopes this season although mine at this stage is heading for NZ. Last season I spent a bit of time on mine at Falls Creek - good conditions, a little ice in areas at time and I can honestly say I had no issues with edge hold at any stage. I just waxed, scraped and rode also. I also had my Signal Yup there at the same time and the Surfari was much better regarding edge hold especially in those icy areas under the lifts between groomers.

Super stoked for you, make sure you let us know your thoughts after the first ride, I was blown away With the board, it just gel’d.

Not sure if you saw next year's catalog yet, but it's confirmed. Smaller size SG yes, smaller Surfari no.

I’m in Sydney so only got 2 days on snow last season before being locked down ☹. Normally do short trips to Perisher but try to get a week at Falls Creek during the season although that hasn’t been possible for the last 2 seasons. I miss Falls Creek.

If I can control my excitement long enough I’ll wait until there is pretty good coverage before breaking out the Surfari.

Are you doing the whole season in NZ? Where are you riding over there?

Cardrona and Treble Cone, will be just 10 days at this stage with family. Try and get a few days maybe at FC also, its hard from NT though. Japan opens this season so we'll head back there also early 2023.

I was lucky last season, the coverage at FC was awesome, great conditions and because of Covid no crowds.

Enjoy the board, where did you get it from out of interest?

Got it from Alpine Beach, Erina on NSW Central Coast.

Very jealous. Crowd wise last season would have been unbelievable. If all things go to plan should be doing a Japan 2023 trip also
