Hi everybody!

Last year I had a Nidecker Mosquito 152 2020 (the black and red one). I f* loved this board. On groomers this board layed carves like nothing else I've tested.
Unfortunately the tail broke and the store refunded me because they couldn't get a replacement.

I was looking for another one in Canada, but couldn't find one. Today the rep for Nidecker in Canada told me he won't be able to get one this year. So i'm looking for an alternative...
I'm looking for a similar board, mainly for groomers, but also tree runs. Short, camber, swallow tail ideally (I loved back foot driving it).

I thought of Korua Shapes Dart, Tranny Finder (this one has a tail), Endeavor Archetype (maybe quite different).

Do you have any other ideas? Or confirmation on one of these boards?

Thanks!

I'm glad to hear you loved your mosquito. I've been looking at that deck for awhile. It seems right up my alley. I'm always carving up groomers on my way to the trees. I've had a K2 Cool Bean and a Spring Break Slush Slasher which are both in that same category. The Telos Backslash, Bataleon Party Wave, Nitro Fin Twin, Weston Backwoods, Rossignol Sushi, and Amplid's Future Shapes all fit in there as well.
