  1. Give Rich at All Board Sports a call, but I'd also guess either a B or a A.
  2. https://vaughansnowboards.com/collections/boards
  3. In isolation, those are pretty self explanitory. The joy of confusion comes in mixing the attributes, along with layup, camber profile and sprinkled with riding style. Change any one thing it's a different board. Change any few things and well... that's why there a million and three snowboard designs. So the long answer is yes, but it depends. Do you have a specific use question? Folks might be more able to help with that more than "tell me about snowboard design variables".
  4. Canting plates are not really a thing anymore, though some bindings have a few degrees built in, and you can do foam under the boot (probably won't work with step ons). You might call Donek to see if they have or can make a set of their BX plates canted. Otherwise it's pretty well a DIY project these days (check out horseshoe wedge pads if they are large enough).
  5. Go to their web site and order one. Easy peasy.

  7. No link. I saw some photos of R and his daughter (?) on them during the season. I think it's constructed like a board- pretty basic (which is not necessarily a bad thing).
  8. I don't believe Sean his bringing his to market with the domination of Allflex, but he had a similar prototype a few years ago.
  9. I've not seen one in person, but from the few photos I'm guessing it's a wood core/ carbon wrap with a fixed rear and "slider" (shear) at the front. I'd be interested in trying one.
  10. I've been hardbooting for...28 years? And I'm terrible. But I have a good time.
  11. I really enjoyed Buttermilk, especially if Ajax is busy. Its not huge and is pretty chill, but that was fantastic for me when I felt like I was going to get sideswiped at the bigger hills. I'm a big head checker, and it was usually wide open at Buttermilk. I will say that we are pretty lucky in CO where we can pick and choose between amazing hills.
  12. They are Grilamid, which is fairly common these days in ski boots. If you have a tech who is used to this material you shouldn't have any problems.
