| the original fish shape was great for riding pure deep powder, with its wide nose, short tail and fish tip profile for turning through pow. saved your back leg. but - it was a disaster as soon as you hit hardpack, ice, thin powder over hard crust, or on a piste. or slush. you just couldn't turn, slow down or stop quick enough. havn't tried the revised model with the longer tail. |

philw has got it covered. I'd just add:
enjoy it when it comes - if you're a two weeks a year rider it's 1st lift / last chair and get as much as you can
Whoop. A lot. Some might say that's really cheesy but hey - no-one's going to know, are they?
Come to Fernie.  |

| i remember a couple of years ago in les deux alpes i was a noob and tipped off the side of the boardercross in les deux alpes. i watched my mates coast down while i just went ribs deep. i dont think ive ever been so pissed off trying to dig myself out. i ended up having to 'superman' it on top of my board until i hit some harder stuff. hasnt put me off though... |
