I have a pair of lightly used anthracite soft tongues from my XC12's that are the size you need if you want to try. Send me a PM if your interested

I broke down and bought these from UPZ

Love it!

Great Scott!

@Kibber your slashr looks awesome! Not to threadjack but please give us specs

I agree. You read too deep in my sentence. I was adding extra info to that. Since he's about the same height I was giving him my set up minus boot size and board width. I figured he knew that. I forgot to mention my pow boards do have titan flex and RS. Maybe that's enough to make a difference?? Would it seriously ruin or make for a weird riding day on the mountain on TD3's verses F2"s? Not likely. I wouldn't recommend RS for hard carving with a plastic base. Seems too weak of a base plate especially if your a bigger or aggressive guy. I guess I'm a mutant and like a more solid connection to my board in all conditions. Each his own. FWIW

I love my Thirst CC 165, 23.5 waist, 10.5 variable sidecut. Mounted with hardboots. It's my all mountain slayer from deep pow to groomers and crud later in the day

Missing 1 bolt to deck on rear

I ride my XC12's on my powder boards and love them. I wouldn't worry about softer bindings. Boots are flexy enough. At your height 20 1/2 inch stance is a starting point. I ride at 40 deg posi posi with at least front inward canting should do. You could add inward canting to rear or adjust boot cuff inward towards nose if you think you need. Toe lift front and flat on rear. XC's don't have walk mode so front boots at full upright, rear forward to your liking. I thought the XC's are too flexy so I added orange spring and swapped to the black tongues. Now there perfect.

I have both XC12 and RC12. I was 180lbs, now I'm 170lbs. The XC's are definitely super flexy like the YT video shows. so I've been using the XC's for my powder boards. I just recently swapped out the stock XC tongues for the black ones (MFI 110) and swapped out the soft blue springs to the stiff orange ones and its way better. I also upgraded my RC's with the Silver tongues (MFI 130) and added the free flex spring box kit with the medium Silver springs for hard charging carving. I had no complaints with the stock RC12's, I thought they were perfect but decided to make them stiffer as a comparison. I'll find out how I like the RC's tomorrow.

Same here only on my pow board. I would also check toe bail to heal receiver for proper distance. The pins on boots should be towards the back of the holes. Just tight enough for the pins to slide but not tight enough to hang up/bind and not fully engage

Nice looking board. If I didn't have something similar to this I would snap this up!

I have almost its twin with same graphics but waist is a hair wider at 20cm. And flex at 210. If you end up getting it you will Love it! One of my favorites out of 4 different Thirsts. 175 SC, 171 XC, 165 CC+, 162 SF.

works for me

Sweet boots

I agree

This video came up as a suggestion on YT. Love the carving with some old school surf styles

I'm the proud new owner of Dave's CC board thanks @bigwavedave. I fell in love with this board as well but on day one. Mounted with hard boots it was ripping the whole mountain from 12-15" of pow to groomers. Hopefully you get yours before the season ends! If I had only one board this would be it!

Looking for the newer style (swing away) black and maybe silver tongues as well. I want to stiffen up my XC12 boots. If anyone has a set sitting around let me know. Thanks!

It feels right to me with parallel angles. Even on my powder boards. My back knee doesn't like less angle than front and even better with back knee slightly more positive. Everybody's different. Like the above comments do what feels the best and still have good power on both edges.

PM sent.

Sorry. I ride regular. I'll PM you with my itinerary Looks like more on the way this week!

I need to plan a trip there soon. Sounds like some really nice snow from the last storm.

Those are Titanflex parts not Titanium.
