That one is really similar to the old 160 Fish

Stranda Biru:

Full camber, volume shifted with a 270 waist.

Everything is too wide nowadays.

Everything is too wide nowadays.

There is a definite trend right now of short-wides. That being said, it is the optimal setup for pow slayers, especially if you ride in the trees.

I ended up ordering the last Forager 160 from Burton a few weeks go, only for them to email me a few days later that the warehouse couldn't find it! Turns out it was for the best as I stumbled on a new-in-the-plastic Forager 160 on Marketplace that I was able to snag for $325. It's a win-win. Can't wait to rip that thing next season!

I never thought I'd be a multi-board quiver kinda rider, but I think I wanna get one of these for the days when it dumps! Beyond that, I love having a daily driver that's pretty good at everything and focused on my preferred terrain.

I didn't think I was either... now I have 15 boards. It's a slippery slope!

It absolutely is. Up to size 10 I guess. I’d buy one if I didn’t have 2 similar boards.

My new ride for this season,

Bindings aren't mounted yet, just laying on the top sheet.

This things got a TON of camber in it, far more than any of my others. Fairly stiff too.

Really looking forward to this winter!

156cm, 8.2m/7.4m sidecut, 1150mm EE.

That’s a real beauty… I wondered what the effective edge was, but then I converted the price:

Cabin Fever | Urushi Series

Cabin Fever | Urushi Series Proven performance deserves a classic aesthetic. Urushi Series 漆: Urushi is a paint derived from the Japanese Sumac Tree. It has adorned sought after Japanese lacquer ware since as far back as the Jomon period, around 7000 years ago. Deep Red, made by adding iron...

I demo'd it whilst over in Japan. It's a really fun powder board in the trees. Didn't test it out on the groomers much - because I didn't need to!

wide sizing know it all's, experts, anybody wanting to provide insight!

since moving from a 13 boot to 14 boot I've questioned my board width ....to determine what waist width I really need
production sizing has me beating around the bush, 160 is the max length I prefer, 157/159 desired
over time I've gone from 26.4 waist (NS, 160cm), to a 26.9 (Kemper, 157) and my volume shifted fatty is a 28.6 (Slushy, 151)

is this my cue that I truly need custom deck sizing?

I was told that for free riding that I need at least 29cm
and for hard carving roughly 31cm

I like the Douk Freighter specs, but I want that 156 in a 308 waist!

poke fun, make recs, whatever go custom?

Length (cm)	Sidecut Radius (m)	Nose Width (mm)	Waist Width (mm)	Tail Width (mm)	Reference Stance (cm)
156	7.4	335	300	335	60
160	7.5	340	304	340	60
164	7.6	345	308	345	60

Moving from 13 to 14 will attract all kinds of ridicule around these parts.

I can take it, I'm old, all banged up, rad dad status, I don't give a shit anyway .... I can't find socks or shoes in store so this is no different 🖕

 

[SennaBlast]

Actually disgusted thinking about riding a 156 with a 300ww.

 

[Rip154]

If your foot is actually 32 cm, the 56 should be ok stock.

The Douk doesn’t look fishy?

But the Kemper Aggressor fits the bill… GP87 as well:

 

[SennaBlast]

That's a girls board

I’ve deviated a bit with the Academy Master:

It has a blunt, rather than moon, tail but it’s setback with micro camber and the EE is 1210 on the 157. Biax glass for torsional flex, with carbon X stringers in the nose and tail like a twin... and there’s no taper. Freestyle meets snow/surf? It’s certainly unique and I can’t wait to see how it rides.
