New board from Vaughan Snowboard is almost ready,  I got an update today.   Missing the logos, clear, binding holes and tune but it shouldn't too long before it makes it here.

No pics yet, because it doesn't exist yet, but I sent funds for a Winterstick with a somewhat novel design: no camber, and super early nose and tail rise, and a low nose and tail height. The goal is to have the minimum effective edge when I'm riding with the base flat or at low edge angles (for low speed agility), and maximum effective edge when carving (for high speed edge hold).

It's a bit of a gamble, but the no-camber early-rise powder board I bought last year exceeded expectations and I've been obsessed with this idea ever since. 

Jack, I'm told that you might be consulted regarding stiffness. 🙂

New decks made it here yesterday from Vaughan snowboards . Made here on the East coach in Canada.

One full camber carving machine The Vault  163 x 26.5, I already have the W camber version of this board at home and it's a BEAST for carving, best board I ever owned.     Can't  wait to try the full camber to compare.      Full maple sidewall

Wildcard W camber.   My shorter playfull board for the year.   Different core and softer flex.  159 x 27.5   full maple sidewall.

Both boards are build with amazing quality and precision.     Art pieces

Beauty. Excited to hear your feedback on the Wildcat. And the full vs W camber! I’ve talked to Dave and will be getting him to make me something next year. 

If anyone is curious, Dave Vaughan was a legit hardbooter and raced on the Canadian national team years ago. I haven’t had a chance to ride his boards but hear that they rip as wide softy all-round carvers, and he can customize to suit.

Good to know. What do they cost?

But it's what's inside the box that counts...

2cm taper, softer flex and a nose shape that loves powder. I think the scr is in the 11-12 range. For those soft snow days when a stiff carving board is too aggressive, ie, soft 1st day groom after a dump when there're still powder stashes, and for those slush slarving days of spring.

There are always several days each season when I wish I had a board like this. It almost looks too pretty to ride, but my experience so far with Thirsts, is that they actually ride as good as they look, often better. As Mark says, "the topsheet is just fluff, it's what's inside the board that counts."

Like @Kneel, I gave Mark free rein for topsheet design after seeing some of the stuff he was doing. 

 

When I told him I didn't want to see any pictures of mine...he sent me pictures of yours!  He's evil.  Check the parquet for dicks...
