Looking for advice on an all mountain board. It's time to update (well, way overdue actually). Been riding since 1986, hardboots since 1995 (busted up ankle made me switch, haven't looked back).
Have had the same board since 1993 (a 1994 Burton Asym Air/ Burton Race Plates). Late 80s/ Early 90s rode 40+ days per year, less consistently throughout the mid 90s (15+/- day per year, mostly in New England some CO and CA), even less consistently since (more like years/ day). Board is still in good shape, but boots (1994 Nordica SBH) have all but disintegrated. Planned to do a full update this season (boots, board, bindings) and was looking for some advice on boards.
Have been looking to update for some time and have been focused on Donek. Initially was looking into the Axxess, but more recently have been leaning toward a board like the Incline. Hard to demo where I am and certainly few hardbooters here in NC, so taking a bit of leap of faith on equipment choices.
Stats:
6'0
205
Foot Angle (near neutral F:15, R:0)
Mid-40s
Riding Style:
Hard to describe other than all mountain. Everything from carving groomers to trees, bumps, and powder when I can get it. Never really took a liking to the Alp (too short). My old setup (Boots and Bindings) was a little loose but I liked the flex.
Sorry of the long post, just wanted to give background.
Would love to hear opinions on the Incline, Donek, or other options I may not be thinking about.
