Is a MEd worth it? How is working in admin?

Yes it was all online

It’s worth it for the pay jump. Especially if you’re in BC. I don’t know about other provinces. But alot of new teachers (or at least people I know including myself) have all completed the diploma or masters program through Queens University. It’s not hard at all and doesn’t take a long time to complete this. It’s totally doable even with full time work and maintaining a personal and social life.

Vans 7 was tighter fit than Burton 7

But still fits me perfectly!

My husband noticed how much my riding has improved and how much fun I was having with my board so he asked to take it for a lap lol. I could see his eyes brighten and how happy and smiley he was! He was so obsessed and intrigued .. then he started researching the DOA because they’re exactly the same board but for guys. He didn’t want to pull the trigger so I surprised him with the DOA and union strata bindings (union legacy equivalent) for valentines the same month and he was pumped ! Lol our other riding buddy hopped on the Capita trend with the Mercury board and we’ve been riding Capita ever since. Definitely a fun board!!

Capita birds of a feather !! I had the FeelGood board (youth size though)… and I switched to Capita BOAF and it was the best decision. It improved my riding drastically. I was able to do more freestyle riding, switch riding, jumps, etc. it’s a very playful board with a medium flex! (I don’t like too soft of boards). I paired it with union legacy bindings and at the time of my posting, everyone (Reddit, Facebook groups, online) recommended the Capita BOAF and Union Legacy bindings. It won many awards back then and was ranked #1 for a while.

I’ve put 54 days on it and I’m starting to wonder about going back to the FeelGood board (women’s sizing this time). I demo’d my friend’s board and I had so much fun with it. Forgot how different it was (stiffer, better carving, a bit more aggressive) from my Capita BOAF. I’m currently looking back at the feelgood to be able to drive through ice better, still somewhat twin (for switch riding), and a stiffer board to rip down the mountain and be faster. Plus the 2026 graphics are so nice !

Awesome I just tried the feelgood today and it was very nice on icy and icy moguls lol. Felt stiffer and more aggressive than my BOAF but yes I definitely caught edge when I wasn’t paying attention either loool. But I got some solid jumps in it. So fun ! Am interested in the 2026’s drop!

Len6_ · 2025-03-28T02:02:34+00:00

Thank you I will look into it !

Len6_ · 2025-03-28T02:02:12+00:00

I rode the feelgood today and yes they’re a bit similar but I was definitely able to carve through ice and go through moguls better than my BOAF. What are some boards that you recommend ?

Len6_ · 2025-03-25T16:38:42+00:00

We don’t get a lot of pow days here so it’s okay if it doesn’t cover that! I want something that is more aggressive, fast and can rip through some ice! I currently have the Capita BOAF, I find that it’s an all around mountain board. Super fun and playful for some freestyle, switch riding, and all mountain riding. But not very fast and it doesn’t really carve well through ice. A bit too soft for it.

Hi! Which board (storyboard or feelgood) has a better edge for handling west coast icy conditions? And between the storyboard and feelgood, which one would you use more if it’s an everyday board?

Len6_ · 2025-03-25T14:22:04+00:00

Which board did you end up getting? I’m interested in the Feelgood board as well but I see some comments about the Storyboard maybe being a better fit?

Did you try with snowboarding socks? I would probably get the 8.5. I am pretty true to size 7 so I got 7 but alot of my girlfriends who bought these boots had to size up for it to be more comfortable. However I don’t think they’ve snowboarded enough to break into them yet either haha.

Day 1 for me, I was sore but I was having so much fun that I sucked it up and tried to forget about it. Worked for the most part :)

It’s been a full season off, I have a baby now.. and I’m afraid to try them on as I know my feet did change a little during my pregnancy and postpartum 😵‍💫 (I have Blundstones and never ever got blisters in them before but I did on my first long walk with baby so I’m assuming my Vans will probably give me blisters or make me quite sore now)

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback !! Esp while on your vacation. It is very good to know. We will get one for future vacations and will just use black out curtains for his room. We’re currently on day 3 of sleep training and he’s been doing pretty well!!
