  1. Looking for ideas on boards storage for the season.

    Redoing a section of the garage before the start of the season to organize all of the families skis and boards.

    Have about 7-8 boards that need to be stored.  Looking to store them standing up? to take up the least amount of room.

    Any pics for what others have do would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

  2. I switched from a Burton Custom X to a Donek Flux for everyday riding.  Best decision I ever made.  Don't think you can go wrong with that board, I've tried it in everything except heavy/deep powder.  I believe there is one for sale here on the forum.

    I've had success with Rome Targas, Ride El Hefes, and Burton Diodes. All super responsive and durable...but then I really love stiff bindings, that also give me the ankle flex and fine control that Flows didn't.

    Looks like the Burton Diodes have been replaced with the X-Base?  They look like there is no forward lean mechanism on them..

    The Burton Genesis looks interesting, but I'm not sure what to think about that mesh hammock attached at the back of the binding, looks like it would compress on a heel side turn and not be stable.. I have not seen them in person, that's just from what I see on the Burton website.

    They are sold online on many sites.  I got mine as new old stock (NOS) for a good price from rei.com.

    What does their website say?

    Looks like Donek only sells split board bindings.  I thought they might carry something to go with there soft boards.

  5. I tried the Flow NX2-GT bindings for a season and found that they weren't for me.

    Any other suggestions for a good soft board carving binding?  The Burton Genesis looks interesting.

    Anyone have any thoughts on the Burtons or suggestions for other \bindings?

    Thanks

  6. I'm not in love with my Flow NX2 GT's either.  I don't like how they flip down at the back and trip you when pushing along to the lift line.  I broke the rear hiback because it was up and was crushed by the chair lift when I sat down.  They are also impossible to get in and out of without undoing the top cap.

    They performed amazing while riding them, but the other issues are making me look for a new type.

  7. If you think the 158 is stiff for an adult male at 158 lbs, I'm guessing it will be too stiff for a 125 lbs teen girl.  Maybe the 153 is the better choice.  She is a beginner and this would be her first board that wasn't borrowed from someone else and not built 10 yrs before she was born..
