As I read some of these threads I see a lot of people shiting all over mervin boards and I'm wondering why ppl really dislike them ? I persoanlly love em I had Burton boards , ride boards ,Rome and a bunch more my friends have that I tried .... I personally love everything about libs n gnu... So if your a hater of these boards I'm curious to the reasons behind it ? To each is own if u hate em more power to you I would jus like to hear the reasons behind it.
why are prople so against mervin boards (Lib Tech , Gnu, Roxy )

My K2 topsheet looks like it's crumbling like a cookie along the edges. Topsheet is fine, but it's getting real ugly along the edges and when I saw used K2 Happy hour's for sale on ebay it was the same thing.
I do like that about Never Summer. They're not indestructible of course, but their regular topsheets were solid and their carbonium ones are excellent in my small experience.
Doesn't affect ride of course, but it's just nice.

I do feel like Mervin's all mtn boards ride well in the heavy wet PNW. But they aren't the only ones to do so. I think other companies do better bases, but durability is not a big issue with Mervin IMHO.

The fact that you can't spell out the word "English" is whats concerning to me. However, you are right this is not an "English" exam. Please continue your twitter quality grammar.

I agree with that 100%. Their coding system for camber profiles is utterly ridiculous. Can they make it anymore confusing/annoying I wonder? I really don't have time to waste on their website trying to figure out which boards I'd consider profile-wise - it's like playing some code cracking puzzle game...smokin is kinda following the same path these days too having licensed mag tech from them. Enough already with the fkn c2,3,b,x,tt,bc,cb,3b nonsense!

I'm likely classified by most as a "hater".
My reasons:
Full wrap your damn edges. You can still get the benefits they tout with a full wraped edge, just maintain the tip fill depth they have.
Dead. They're heavy and mostly dead feeling. Unless you want to spend for HP which is marginally better.
HP. Fuck off with $700 boards. I've worked with basalt, it isn't THAT much better.
Prices. Seriously the lowest end Mervin is $400. And their "jibstick" is $460.
Marketing. While I will always be impressed with their ability to command blind loyalty, I hate brands that do that. Oh and just cause the market decided that full rocker generally sucks, save Arbor, don't go try and telling everyone that BTX has "mild camber" in the previously flat zone.
Made in the US, or "Near Canada", is better. Shush, no it isn't.
Magne. Other than Mellow Mag, they who invented it are the worst at using it.
Bent Metal. Please just kill that brand. While you're at it, Gnu bindings too. Gross.
4 RC profiles. REALLY!!??
