  1. Does anyone know what it is like for a carving novice to try out a Knapton wide board? I started with a Lib Tech and soft boots, and experienced the inevitable toe and heel drag. I then tried Apex risers: From my snow riding journal Mar 24th 2017 Loveland 4"/24, at most. At times dust on crust, or reef. I have mounted Apex Gecko Stealth carbon fiber riser plates between my Lib Tech Mullet 160cm and my Salomon Defender bindings. The point of these is more carving power. They seem to absorb a bit of chatter too. Whether it is them, or the techniques for soft boot carving I learned from watching Ryan Knapton's you tube vids on the topic, I have more fun than expected on the dust on reef.
