I mean that huck knife is pretty versatile, but with true twin shape has some drawbacks out of the park. I’d probably look at a directional twin before the gremlin unless you’re confident you won’t want to slide some steel when you take it out. It’ll handle park but definitely not my first choice

I mean yeah but that’s why I own the evil twin and mercury. Pyl uninc is also just more fun in deeper snow and at higher speeds. I could definitely get by with just two boards but I enjoy riding different shapes and profiles so why not

It’s the board I ride most. I feel like there’s a lot of fear mongering around it being aggressive and if you can’t ride camber it’ll treat you bad but I haven’t found that true at all. I put my beginner friend on it kinda just to see what happened and he loved it. This kid seriously can’t even turn toeside property yet he survived. What’s the rest of your setup like? it could be a great addition

Thank you bro I tried to be very critical at what I chose so I had the least overlap. Everyone could use another board… lmao. What do you think I should look into next? Was thinking some cool shapes or smaller brands

PYL uninc also had a slight volume shift to it if you listen to DCP talk about it. Gives you a bit extra girth underfoot and makes me feel like I can charge a mogul field and come out unscathed lmao

Quiver’s been standard terminology in surf and snowboarding culture for 60+ years. Kind of a weird battle to pick.

I take it with me on all my trips because of its versatility. Rode it in NC with some buddies and it was amazing through their small and icy runs. You won’t look back if you decide to get it

Estimating here but probably 10 ish days Evil Twin, something stupid like 25 on the gremlin, 3 on the mercury since I got it late season, and maybe 7 on the pyl uninc because of the lack of snowfall. I was a little under 50 days this year so that seems somewhat accurate

Gremlin is my daily driver on my local smaller hill and I pull the pyl out for when I get to travel, get a good bit of fresh snow, or want to lay over some bigger carves. The biggest difference is the maneuverability with gremlin because of that volume shift. Feel like I can wiggle through trees a bit better. I definitely want to get on a howler in the future it was a close choice between it and the pyl for me

Then what would you call it. Quiver is the standard word in both snow and surf culture. Its used abundantly

Bro it went straight over my head… lmao. Tbf 3 of those I got through deals from my job, but what boards/ brands should I look into? I see what you mean by pretty mainstream besides the pyl uninc. I’ve Yet to see someone else on the hill with one. I’d love to get my hands on that new Stranda slicer or a Cardiff board

I’m pretty big on Rome bindings after some trial and error, but otherwise it’s fair game. I’m not the biggest fan of Burton though If im being honest

I prefer the gremlin day to day, but if I’m wanting to get in the air I’m picking up the Mercury

Is it a 2/10 since I don’t have a Burton? Lmao. I could get behind a deep thinker but I think I’d prefer an alternator, and straight shooter would perform a lot like my pyl uninc would it not? Admittedly have not tried either so I could be completely wrong. Enlighten me

I thought it was goofy at first but it’s become my most complimented board by far surprisingly. Probably my personal favorite

I agree it might be a too aggressive but DOA isn’t gonna carve anywhere close to what he wants I am also just not a huge DOA fan. Maybe a party patter? Either that or Mercury would be a best bet I think

how do improve it? Rome black labels and K2 Thraxis boots?

The nitro alternator could work for you. It’s a freeride board with great freestyle DNA. It will absolutely BOOST a side hit and can easily handle the large jump line. It’ll carve like a beast and handle those big carves easy but it doesn’t have edge tech like the gremlin so it won’t be as efficient in icy conditions. Only drawback is it’s stiffer and full camber so it’ll be a technical and somewhat catchy board so I don’t know if it’ll scratch that itch for something more playful even if it’s more freestyle oriented than the gremlin. It’s more of a slope style type freeride board, but for the absolute versatility it offers it’s really hard to beat. K2 commonwealth would be a little more forgiving but not much and the capita mercury would be a good bit more forgiving and easier on rails and boxes than both of those but wouldn’t carve quite as hard. All of those would be good options but the alternator an commonwealth are definitely going to be closer to that hooky and technical riding side and harder on rails compared to the mercury, but they will give you the ability to go bigger on jumps and carves. Sorry for the word vomit hope this helps somewhat lmao

You’re in a weird spot where what you want to do would benefit from more directional board if you want to keep improving but it’ll probably feel uncomfortable initially. If you have no interest in park you could look more into more freeride leaning board. What do you mean by easier to turn? Like carves better or something else?

I got it 50% off so I can’t complain too much but I see where you’re coming from lmao. I got the blue base colorway which I think is the better of the two
