I found the Sickstick to be a very versatile snowboard that was actually really fun in the park thanks to its twinnish style shape. It does have some directional aspects to it like its tapered tail and longer nose (outside the contact points) that both help to offer more float and maneuverability in deep or heavy snow. Overall I would say the Sickstick is a great choice as a freestyle friendly freeride stick. From park to pow I think you're going to have a good time on the Sickstick.

The whole crew is on surf shaped powder boards, and I am testing the Spring Break Catamaran Snowboard. The first thing you'll notice is the double swallow tail on this snowboard, this creates a one-of-a-kind shape and really highlights the aesthetics of this snowboard. I rode this board is size 166 but honestly, much of the boards length comes from the cut out nose and tail, which actually doesn't effect the performance very much. Because of that this board has a shorter effective edge and feels like a shorter snowboard. The long nose does help to poke out of the powder though and keep you on top of the snow. I also found this board to have a soft flex, i'd rate it right around a 3/10; the Catamaran is very pressable and also damp through choppy terrain thanks to the nose. The combination of a rocker dominant profile, wide frame, and taper allow this board to float very well in the soft stuff. All in all I would say this is a very functional powder board that floats just a good as it looks.

This is a more advanced grab that is challenging and a lot of fun to do with backside rotations once you are more comfortable with the trick. You're going to grab the toe edge of your snowboard between your bindings with your front hand, similar to a mute grab, however for the Japan you will be pulling your snowboard up and behind you once you get the grab. The most critical tip in order to get the tweak with this grab is to reach your arm outside of your knee when you are reaching for the snowboard. This is going to allow you to pull the board back without getting hung up inside your knees. I hope these tips help you to learn the Japan grab, let us know any questions you have down in the comments below.

This is a really solid powder/freeride snowboard that has some very unique features in its construction. It has Bataleons powder 3BT, which is a 3-dimensional base shape that creates a boat hull type effect in the nose to help float in powder and make the board very buttery. It is also a full camber snowboard for the entire length of the board, combined with a 20mm setback stance. This board floats very well in powder while still being powerful and precise in technical terrain and fun for carving. I am stoked I was able to try this board out in Japan for you guys, and that we were able to find such a great zone for the day.
