Gossamer Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 We've been watching Back to the Future, I wish I could go back to the day I received my first alpine board. I'm going up in the morning and going to rail turns just like when my Donek AX was new. The Apex Geckos are like shock absorbers.

They have boards in the "freestyle categoly" or the "carving categoly"... As has been discussed before, all of their soft boot boards have pretty narrow waists, even the "Lovebuzz" which seems to be their entry in the volume-shifted all-mountain category. Also I note none of their specs include a weight recommendation. I suspect I'm too fat for a Japanese board. Fist of all I don't think they will get a native English speaker to explain their products, is pretty clear they are not aiming for the North America market. You are totally right all of Japanese carving board have pretty narrow waists, they are soft boots board but most of them feel like alpine boards, what mean is the fact that those board are mean to be riding on higher angle, something like ＜+30,＜+21. I know many people probably gonna hate me if I say this, but weight recommendation don't really matter in Asia, unlike the NA or EU rider, instead of buying a board to fit their own riding style, Asia rider adjust their riding style to fit the board they bought. Not sure if this makes sense to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this makes sense to you. If they're not aiming for markets outside of Japan, why do they even bother with English? Also, physics doesn't change with culture. If I get on a board designed for the weight range of an athletic Japanese person, it's going to be a noodle for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I am not sure why they even bother translated into English.... and ye physic doesn't change with culture, but the fact is the board are designed for the Asian rider. Anyway contact them in English, tell them what your concerned is, they are very nice person based on my experience.

softbootsurfer Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Always Stoked, to mount a Nu Stick !! This 161 Sensei looks like a Land Lord, those were very nice... the Flight Attendants have been Fun UpDate NOTE; see Sensei review below 161 Sensei tested 2/19/21 6ft. 165 lbs. does not happen often, this board is way to soft for Carving Groom, I prefer boards that do both, Carve and Pow... the Flight Attendant is back in the line up... maybe someone around 100 lbs. could enjoy the groom on it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can't put on the bridge kit (brackets in the center holes) with the plate as the brackets are pushed towards the extremities. I'll have to move them towards the center to be able to install it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
