YES Jackpot, YES public, Capita ultrafear, Salomon Villain.

Haven’t tried any of the boards tho except the Villain.

My vote is for the Jackpot. No point getting another Horrorscope. The Jackpot will give you a different camber profile to play with (compared to your two other boards). CamRock is the shit.

Nup, not in deep powder anyway. Why wouldn’t you ride your Chemical Storm in Japan? It would float so much better.

currently have Never summer proto hd 154 and a fyve board also 154 no idea what it is ..its the free one for going to fyve camp

wondering if its worth buying a POW board for Japan.  Looked at rental cost of a board for my 3 weeks in Japan and its over 500 bucks…I could buy one for not much more than that.

So worth it or will I not really be needing it.  If so how big and what kind.

currently 90kg aiming for 85 for Japan. 172cm tall size 9 boot

and go!!!

I snapped up the last one. Hesitated for a min and thought fuck it, it could be a slab of wood for the beans I payed. Looking forward to trying it in Japan in a months time…
(Im still tempted to sell it and buy a Burton Fish with EST which will save me buying new bindings so if you’re interested in a Japan pow board let me know! wink )

I was looking at the fyve fish but it was showing at nearly 500 bucks.  I can get a Jones hovercraft for that.  Or was the discount applied once you added it to your shopping cart

Was for everything mate, but whether what you wanted was in stock was a whole another story.

I wanted a few things but none was available and that was at like 8:30am.
