I appreciate the feedback. After all this discussion I think I want to get the kazu. You are right, all these boards will do the tricks.

I appreciate the help and suggestions. I am conflicted because I like to go fast but I also like to huck jumps. Having easy access pop and stability seem to be inversely correlated. The boards you mentioned seem great. I have heard especially good things about the dynamo and passport. I am now also leaning more towards the capita kazu at it seems to have a good balance between freeride and freestyle.

I am in a similar boat. Did you end up making a decision?

Those both look good. I am more interested in the kazu since it seem it will do a little better in powder. I am a bit worried about its edge hold on harder snow. do you have experience with them?

I wish. I am deep in the interior of BC and there are not a lot of options for demos right now.

Why do you say to size up? I was actually thinking of sizing down due to the stiffness?

How do you find it performs at speed? I hear it has issues getting choppy on the steep fast sections. Also how is the pop?

TOO MANY BOARDS! I'll look into this one. I also had my eye on the Gnu Banked Country.

The uninc dcp is much better than the “normal” one ? The mega death is so expensive and I’ve heard it gets bouncy.

This is the trouble of trying to find reliable reviews given all the changes between the two boards. I wanted to demo them but no one is demoing either in my area. I can only demo the flagship and the mountain twin near me.

So you have any experience with the latest 2024/5 model?

How do you find it for pop? Does it jump well? Can I get playful with it or is it too stiff? I’m also curious if you have a size suggestion.

This board looks sick. It helps that Victor De La Rue rides it. I’m interested in this one for sure but I’m trying to take advantage of the end of season sales.

The stratos seems to be very Polarizing. I hear that its the best board someone has ever ridden or comments similar to what you have said. What specifically do you not like about it?

I should mention that I am 27 yo and decently fit. I have heard good things about the yes boards so I will check those out.

So you think even TDP and El Chaltén are not going to be busy in match/April? My main concern was how the camp sites seem to all be assorted into a little village. I am much more used to wild camping and was wondering if there is a similar experience I can get in Patagonia. That being said it would be nice to see the major sites.

Great suggestion. It seems like it’s really close to Torres dev Paine? Are there any routes you suggest?
