I like the look of the Paradigma as a do it all board that most likely has a really good sidecut. I can look past the ‘graphical’ graphics if it rides well. Hopefully can demo one soon.
Amplid
Amplid snowboards are relatively little known outside of Europe. So post up your reviews and experiences.

Argh shit man, didn't see this until now - got flooded with jobs for work yesterday arvo, and after work had a couple of virtual drinks with my work partner, got very philosophical (and a bit tipsy - life is short, do what makes you happy etc etc), and jumped online and picked up a Stereo from a store in Sydney.If you are interested let me know, I know my mate with the Creamer is thinking about a Surfari also and you know what, it wouldn't take much to convince me to add a true twin like the stereo.
There's actually a sorta decent range here - between E107 and Wilderness. I will be keeping an eye on either the Spray Tray or Dada or Aloha Vibes at the end of the season, because they all look like they'd suit my lazy carving style to a tee.
Between the two shops, there are still Ticket Twins, Stereos, Creamers, Paradigmas, as well as the Future Shapes collection - something to tempt you in there?
Shit, I had no idea you could buy Amplid direct here in Aus - what size Stereo?Argh shit man, didn't see this until now - got flooded with jobs for work yesterday arvo, and after work had a couple of virtual drinks with my work partner, got very philosophical (and a bit tipsy - life is short, do what makes you happy etc etc), and jumped online and picked up a Stereo from a store in Sydney.

I got a 155. Would have got a 152 as a super playful, undersized board for getting back into spinning on small and medium park features, but figured the 155 would be the more sensible option for my weight.
I was actually really close to pulling the trigger on a Ticket Twin or Paradigma during the last lockdown, but couldn't justify it. Then they sold out at E107 (best prices I can find in Aus for pretty much anything, really). Then drinks with my work mate last night, and I thought fuck it, if I don't get onto it now, it'll be gone when I want it at end of season sales.
You love your Surfari. I'm sure I'll enjoy the Stereo. At end of season if I can wrangle it, I might see if I can get a multi discount on e.g. a Ticket and Aloha Vibes. If getting a couple of boards I don't need but do want, means increased likelihood that brands like Amplid can be sold locally, stuff it - I won't be frowning.
(Sorta like my correspondence with Weston Backcountry - they were looking into getting in with local distributors, although that hasn't happened yet.)
EDIT: I feel a bit guilty, I didn't know you weren't aware that they sold Amplid here, I sorta feel like I poached it out from under you now - didn't mean to, whatsoever! It was a case of knowing how wrapped you are with yours, knowing they were for sale on E107 and Wilderness, getting tipsy and talking about how life is short and I love where I live and could I justify it to myself, saying yes, and hopping straight on and just buying it.

You must have got the last 155 ya bugger - I'll have to do another trip down to have a ride on it. I feel bad man, you should've taken the Surfari for a lap - I apologise.I got a 155.

Hell yeah man! And don't apologise for a second - to be honest I LOVED the look of your deck and the carves you were putting down, I honestly didn't want to ride it because you'd only had a few days on it, and the anal side of me didn't want to break it in with my extra weight, before you could break it in to yours!You must have got the last 155 ya bugger - I'll have to do another trip down to have a ride on it.

Yep, that's it - if there's still a Spray Tray, Dada or Aloha Vibes left at the end of the season, I'm grabbing at least one more Amplid. Damn you man, you've got me seeing bright shiny objects in this brand!!!
There's a milligram split that keeps getting reposted on eBay that is calling to me.

So, why haven't you answered the call?There's a milligram split that keeps getting reposted on eBay that is calling to me.

Look backwards for a sec - out of 1-10, how shitty are you going to be with yourself, when someone else gets onto it before you?There's a milligram split that keeps getting reposted on eBay that is calling to me.

Unfortunately, $1k just isn't in the budget at the moment.

Angry gave an Amplid shout out around an hour into his last livestream. He called them supercar snowboards that will change the way you see snowboards forever once you ride one. Pretty high praise from the angry one. I really can't wait to shred my Penta and Surfari again.
Sounds odd, but man that feeling I got on my first run on the Surfari.....Angry gave an Amplid shout out around an hour into his last livestream.

I really want to get a Surfari but I only weigh about 140...Not sure it will feel like a boat

My Surfari has left me laughing like an idiot in disbelief on more than one occasion. One day aggressively carving really tracked out pow comes to mind. I couldn't wrap my mind around how I was riding like that in those conditions. They mean it when they say next level riding.Sounds odd, but man that feeling I got on my first run on the Surfari.....
I guess it depends on how you're planning on riding it. I'm a little over the weight range of the 161, and it could still be a little more nimble in the trees. Maybe I'm just used to more flexible pow boards in there. I don't think I'd want it much softer for carving though.I really want to get a Surfari but I only weigh about 140...Not sure it will feel like a boat
I always find myself going in the trees so what from their lineup would be good for that?My Surfari has left me laughing like an idiot in disbelief on more than one occasion.

On the other hand I probably don’t need another board that’s good for riding in the trees...something that could crush tracked out powder sounds fun

The Spray Tray is the missing piece of the Future Shapes puzzle. Its clever, scaled-down dimensions pack the Future Shapes’ fabled float and…

Souly Grail is sexy as well

The Souly Grail seems softer than the rest of Centrifugals. Not for me at 200 lbs and the way I ride but indeed looks like the Centrifugal for you.
